Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of solution parameter adjustment technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, storage medium, and electronic device for adjusting the parameters of a nickel plating solution. Background Technology
[0002] Existing methods for adjusting electroless nickel plating solution parameters are mostly based on the controlled variable method, using empirical formulas to adjust coating performance. The biggest drawback of this method is the lack of theoretical guidance; it relies solely on trial and error based on industrial experience, failing to provide targeted optimization for the coating. Furthermore, existing methods can only control single variables, while the influencing factors of electroless plating solutions are not only complex, but each factor also has a different mechanism of influence on the coating. Therefore, when multiple factors change simultaneously, it is impossible to determine the changes in coating performance, resulting in poor corrosion resistance of the solution after parameter adjustment.

[0065] This application provides a method for adjusting the parameters of a nickel plating solution, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes:
[0066] Step S101: Based on the initial ratio of each sub-solution in the initial nickel plating solution, perform calculations to obtain a first index value and a second index value for adjusting the solution parameters of the initial nickel plating solution;
[0067] In the specific implementation process of this step, the initial nickel plating solution is a solution obtained by mixing the various sub-solutions. In the application scenario of electroless plating of magnesium alloys, the initial nickel plating solution can be a solution obtained by mixing sub-solutions including nickel sulfate hexahydrate solution, sodium citrate dihydrate solution, sodium hypophosphite solution, and ammonium bifluoride solution. The first index value is the nickel ion concentration, and the second index value is the hypophosphite ion concentration. Specifically, the first index value can be obtained by calculation based on the initial ratio of nickel sulfate hexahydrate solution in the initial solution; the second index value can be obtained by calculation based on the initial ratio of sodium hypophosphite solution in the initial solution.
[0068] Step S102: Based on the initial temperature, initial pH, first index value, and second index value of the initial nickel plating solution, the evaluation index of the initial nickel plating solution is obtained by calculation using a preset index function.
[0069] In the specific implementation process of this step, the evaluation index of the initial nickel plating solution is obtained by using a preset index function based on the initial temperature, initial pH, first index value, and second index value of the initial nickel plating solution; the mathematical expression of the preset index function can be shown in the following formula (1):
[0070]
[0071] in, This refers to the nickel ion concentration. Where is the phosphate ion concentration, T is the temperature parameter, and PH is the acidity / alkalinity parameter. The initial temperature, initial acidity / alkalinity, the first index value, and the second index value of the initial nickel plating solution are substituted into formula (1) for calculation to obtain the evaluation index Z of the initial nickel plating solution.
[0072] Step S103: If the evaluation index is less than the preset target index, adjust at least one of the solution parameters, namely the initial ratio, the initial temperature and the initial pH, for each of the sub-solutions to obtain the target nickel plating solution.
[0073] In this step, when the evaluation index is less than the preset target index, at least one of the solution parameters of the initial nickel plating solution is adjusted according to the predetermined solution parameter priority to obtain the target nickel plating solution. The predetermined solution parameter priority, adjusted in descending order, is: decreasing the initial pH, increasing the initial ratio corresponding to the second index value, increasing the initial ratio corresponding to the first index value, and increasing the initial temperature. Specifically, each solution parameter is adjusted in descending order of priority, and the evaluation index of the adjusted current nickel plating solution is calculated after each adjustment until the evaluation index of the current nickel plating solution is greater than or equal to the preset target index, at which point the current nickel plating solution is determined as the target nickel plating solution.
[0074] This application calculates and processes the initial proportions of each sub-solution in the initial nickel plating solution to obtain a first index value and a second index value for adjusting the solution parameters of the initial nickel plating solution. Based on the initial temperature, initial pH, the first index value, and the second index value of the initial nickel plating solution, a preset index function is used to calculate and process the evaluation index of the initial nickel plating solution. This application introduces a preset index function to evaluate the quality during the electroless plating process. Considering multiple influencing factors in the electroless plating process, a unified mechanism is established to characterize the impact of changes in different factors on the corrosion resistance of the coating. When the evaluation index is less than the preset target index, at least one of the solution parameters corresponding to each sub-solution—the initial proportion, the initial temperature, and the initial pH—is adjusted to obtain the target nickel plating solution. By using a priority method to adjust the solution parameters, costs are saved while effectively improving the quality of electroless nickel plating and enhancing corrosion resistance.
[0075] Another embodiment of this application provides a different method for adjusting the parameters of a nickel plating solution, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it includes:
[0076] Step S201: Based on the initial ratio of each sub-solution in the initial nickel plating solution, perform calculations to obtain a first index value and a second index value for adjusting the solution parameters of the initial nickel plating solution;
[0077] In the specific implementation process of this step, the initial nickel plating solution is a solution obtained by mixing the various sub-solutions. In the application scenario of electroless plating of magnesium alloys, the initial nickel plating solution can be a solution obtained by mixing sub-solutions including nickel sulfate hexahydrate solution, sodium citrate dihydrate solution, sodium hypophosphite solution, and ammonium bifluoride solution. The first index value is the nickel ion concentration, and the second index value is the hypophosphite ion concentration. Specifically, the first index value can be obtained by calculation based on the initial ratio of nickel sulfate hexahydrate solution in the initial solution; the second index value can be obtained by calculation based on the initial ratio of sodium hypophosphite solution in the initial solution.
[0078] Step S202: Construct the chemical reaction equations for the reduction of electrons in the process of electroless plating of magnesium alloy using historical nickel plating solution;
[0079] In this step, hypophosphite ions react with water in the historical nickel plating solution to generate electrons, which act as the actual reducing agent. Nickel ions gain electrons and are reduced, and a small amount of hypophosphite ions are also reduced to phosphorus to form a Ni-P solid solution, accompanied by the release of hydrogen gas. The chemical reaction equations for the reduction of each point are shown in the following formulas (1)-(4):
[0080]
[0081] Ni 2+ +2e - → Ni (2);
[0082]
[0083] 2H + +2e - →H2(4);
[0084] in, It is a hypophosphatemoid ion; It is a phosphate ion; H + Hydrogen ions; H2O is water; e - For electrons; Ni 2+ Ni is nickel ions; Ni is solid nickel; P is solid phosphorus; H2 is hydrogen gas.
[0085] Step S203: Based on the electron reduction chemical reaction equations, the electrode potential in the electroless plating process is calculated using the deposition thermodynamics method to obtain the first influencing factors affecting the electroless plating quality and the first correspondence between the electroless plating quality and the first influencing factors.
[0086] In the specific implementation process of this step, based on the electronic reduction chemical reaction equations, the Nernst equation is used to construct the electrode potentials in the electroless plating process, and the electrode potential equations are obtained. Each electrode potential equation includes a first influencing factor, which includes temperature parameter, nickel ion concentration parameter, hypophosphite ion concentration parameter, phosphite ion concentration parameter, and hydrogen ion concentration parameter. Specifically, the mathematical formulas that express the relationship between the electrode potentials in the electroless plating process and the ion concentrations, temperature, and pH based on the electronic chemical reaction equations using the Nernst equation are as follows: (5)-(8)
[0087]
[0088]
[0089]
[0090]
[0091] Where R is the gas constant, T is the temperature, n is the number of electrons transferred, F is the Faraday constant, and [M+] and [N-] represent the concentrations of each ion. E is the equilibrium potential. θ This is the standard potential.
[0092] The hydrolysis equilibrium equation for the electroless plating process is constructed; the mathematical expression of the hydrolysis equilibrium equation can be shown in the following formula (9):
[0093]
[0094] Construct the complexation equilibrium equation in the electroless plating process; the mathematical expression of the complexation equilibrium equation can be shown by the following formulas (10)-(11):
[0095]
[0096]
[0097] Among them, K w K is the ion product constant of water, K1 and K2 are the stability constants of nickel complexes, and K a3 The third-order ionization constant of citrate is... [OH - [This represents the concentration of citrate monohydric ions.] The concentration of citrate ions, [NiC6H5O7] -[NiC6H6O7] represents the concentration of the first nickel citrate complex ion, and [NiC6H6O7] represents the concentration of the second nickel citrate complex. Based on the electrode potential equations, the hydrolysis equilibrium equations, and the complexation equilibrium equations, a single-factor analysis method was used to adjust each of the first influencing factors in the electroless plating process, and the quality of the electroless plating process was monitored to obtain the first correspondence between the electroless plating quality and each of the first influencing factors. Specifically, for example, the concentration of phosphate ions is... The concentration of hypophosphate ions is Substituting the concentrations of each ion into formulas (8) to (11), we can obtain the schematic diagram of the potential change in the oxidation-reduction reaction of electroless nickel plating as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, different reactions exhibit different trends depending on the factors. Single-factor analysis reveals that the reduction potential of nickel increases with increasing nickel ion content. Conversely, increasing hypophosphite ion concentration decreases the oxidation potential while increasing the reduction potential. Thermodynamically, the potential difference between the cathode and anode is the driving force for the reaction; a larger potential difference indicates a more vigorous reaction. Therefore, combining electron potential chemical reaction equation (1) with electron potential chemical reaction equations (2), (3), and (4) yields three different redox reactions. The potential difference trend diagrams are attached. Figure 4 As shown, with increasing pH, the potential difference between nickel reduction and hydrogen reduction increases, while the potential difference for phosphorus reduction decreases. At low nickel ion concentrations, the potential difference for hydrogen reduction is higher than that for nickel reduction. During electroless nickel plating, the large amount of hydrogen released leads to tensile stress in the coating, causing peeling and cracking. The phosphorus content also significantly affects the corrosion resistance of the coating; phosphorus solution makes the coating amorphous, reducing the presence of dislocations and defects, and also reducing intergranular corrosion. Therefore, from a thermodynamic perspective, the direction of solution parameter adjustment should be based on reducing the potential difference for hydrogen reduction and increasing the potential difference for phosphorus reduction. The first corresponding relationship for the first influencing factor, nickel ion concentration, is to increase the nickel ion concentration; the first corresponding relationship for the first influencing factor, hypophosphite ion concentration, is to increase the hypophosphite ion concentration; and the first corresponding relationship for the first influencing factor, pH, is to decrease the pH.
[0098] Step S204: Based on the electron reduction chemical reaction equations, the electrode reaction rate in the electroless plating process is calculated using the deposition kinetics method to obtain the second influencing factors affecting the electroless plating quality and the second correspondence between the electroless plating quality and the second influencing factors.
[0099] In the specific implementation process of this step, based on the electronic reduction chemical reaction equations, the Butler-Former equation is used to construct the reaction rates of each electrode in the electroless plating process, and the reaction rate equations of each electrode are obtained. Each reaction rate equation includes a second influencing factor, which includes temperature parameter, nickel ion concentration parameter, hypophosphatemoid ion concentration parameter, and hydrogen ion concentration parameter. The mathematical expressions of each reaction rate equation are shown in the following formulas (12)-(15):
[0100]
[0101]
[0102]
[0103]
[0104] Where α is the charge transfer coefficient, n is the number of electrons transferred, F is the Faraday constant, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature. This refers to the equilibrium current density of phosphite or hypophosphite. This represents the equilibrium current density of nickel ions; This refers to the equilibrium current density of hypophosphatemions or the equilibrium current density of phosphorus. I is the equilibrium current density of hydrogen ions; c 0 E represents the exchange current density. e Let E be the standard potential and E be the equilibrium potential. The current density balance equation for the cathode and anodic reactions during the electroless plating process is constructed; the mathematical expression of the current density balance equation can be expressed as follows (16):
[0105]
[0106] Based on the electrode reaction rate equations and the current density balance equations, a single-factor analysis method was used to adjust each of the second influencing factors in the electroless plating process, and the quality of the electroless plating process was monitored to obtain a second correspondence between the electroless plating quality and each of the second influencing factors. For example... Figure 5The diagram shows the changes in the electrode reaction rates during electroless nickel plating. The electrode reaction rates for nickel reduction and hydrogen reduction increase with increasing pH, while the reaction rate for phosphorus reduction decreases with increasing pH. At excessively low pH, the reaction rate for hydrogen reduction is higher than that for nickel reduction. From the perspective of coating performance, the direction for adjusting the solution parameters of the nickel plating solution is to increase the reaction rates for nickel and phosphorus reduction and decrease the reaction rate for hydrogen reduction. The second corresponding relationship for the nickel ion concentration parameter (the second influencing factor) is to increase the nickel ion concentration; the second corresponding relationship for the hypophosphite ion concentration (the second influencing factor) is to increase the hypophosphite ion concentration; and the second corresponding relationship for pH (the second influencing factor) is to decrease the pH.
[0107] Step S205: Based on the electron reduction chemical reaction equations, the nucleation rate in the electroless plating process is calculated using the nucleation kinetics method to obtain the third influencing factors affecting the electroless plating quality and the third correspondence between the electroless plating quality and the third influencing factors.
[0108] In this step, the critical nucleation radius is obtained by calculating the free energy change function during nickel nucleation in the electroless plating process. The mathematical expression of the free energy change function can be expressed by the following formula (17).
[0109]
[0110] Specifically, by performing a first derivative operation on the radius r in the free energy change function, the critical nucleation radius r during nickel nucleation in the electroless plating process can be calculated. The mathematical expression for the critical nucleation radius r can be shown in the following formula (18):
[0111]
[0112] Where ρ is the density of the deposited metal, n is the valence of the metal ion, F is the Faraday constant, η is the cathode overpotential, Q is the atomic weight of the metal, and δ is the interfacial tension during nucleation. Based on the free energy change function and the critical nucleation radius, a function is constructed to obtain the nucleation work function; the mathematical expression of the nucleation work function can be expressed by the following formula (19):
[0113]
[0114] Based on the nucleation work function and the initial nucleation rate function, a target nucleation rate function is obtained. The target nucleation rate function includes various third influencing factors, including cathode overpotential parameters, temperature parameters, and complexing agent content parameters. The mathematical expression of the initial nucleation rate function can be expressed by the following formula (20):
[0115]
[0116] The mathematical formula for calculating the target nucleation rate function can be shown in the following formula (21):
[0117]
[0118] Where A is the pre-exponential factor, k is the Boltzmann constant, and T is the temperature. Based on the target nucleation rate function, a single-factor analysis method was used to adjust each of the third influencing factors in the electroless plating process, and the quality of the electroless plating process was monitored to obtain the third correspondence between the electroless plating quality and each of the third influencing factors. It can be seen that the critical nucleation radius decreases with the increase of the cathode overpotential, while the nucleation rate increases with the increase of the cathode overpotential. The grain size is directly related to the density of the coating. When the nucleation rate is high, the growth of the grains is restricted from both sides. When the grains collide, the growth stops. Therefore, the coating has high density and good corrosion resistance. From the perspective of nucleation kinetics, increasing the cathode overpotential is an effective way to improve the corrosion resistance of the coating. Thus, the third correspondence between the electroless plating quality and each of the third influencing factors is obtained. The second correspondence for the hypophosphite ion concentration parameter among the third influencing factors is the hypophosphite ion concentration.
[0119] Step S206: Screen each of the first influencing factors, each of the second influencing factors, and each of the third influencing factors to obtain each of the target influencing factors, and determine the correspondence between the electroless plating quality and each of the target influencing factors as the target correspondence relationship;
[0120] In this step, the first, second, and third influencing factors are screened to obtain the target influencing factors. The correspondence between the electroless plating quality and the target influencing factors is determined as the target correspondence. The target influencing factors are nickel ion concentration parameter, hypophosphite ion concentration parameter, temperature parameter, and pH parameter. The target correspondence for the nickel ion concentration parameter is to increase the nickel ion concentration; the target correspondence for the hypophosphite ion concentration parameter is to increase the hypophosphite ion concentration parameter; the target correspondence for the temperature parameter is to increase the temperature parameter; and the target correspondence for the pH parameter is to decrease the pH parameter.
[0121] Step S207: Determine the weight index corresponding to the phosphate ion concentration in each target influencing factor based on the aforementioned electronic reduction chemical reaction equations;
[0122] In the specific implementation of this step, when the reaction probability of each of the electron reduction chemical reaction equations is the same, the coating quality is better when the ratio of nickel ion concentration to hypophosphite ion concentration to phosphite ion concentration during the deposition process in the chemical plating process is a first predetermined index value. The first predetermined index value can be 0.3, and the first predetermined index value is determined as the weight index corresponding to the phosphite ion concentration.
[0123] Step S208: Based on each of the target influencing factors, the weight index, and the target correspondence relationship with each of the target influencing factors, construct a function to obtain the preset index function;
[0124] In the specific implementation of this step, the mathematical expression of the preset index function can be represented by the following formula (22):
[0125]
[0126] The numerator of the preset index function can be regarded as the deposition of the coating, while the denominator can be regarded as the hydrogen evolution of the coating. The ratio of the two is the deposition quality of the coating.
[0127] Step S209: Based on the initial temperature, initial pH, first index value, and second index value of the initial nickel plating solution, the evaluation index of the initial nickel plating solution is obtained by calculation using a preset index function.
[0128] In the specific implementation process of this step, the evaluation index Z of the initial nickel plating solution is obtained by using the preset index function based on the initial temperature, initial pH, first index value and second index value of the initial nickel plating solution.
[0129] Step S210: If the evaluation index is less than the preset target index, adjust at least one of the solution parameters, namely the initial ratio, the initial temperature and the initial pH, for each of the sub-solutions to obtain the target nickel plating solution.
[0130] In this step, when the evaluation index is less than the preset target index, at least one of the solution parameters of the initial nickel plating solution is adjusted according to the predetermined solution parameter priority to obtain the target nickel plating solution. The preset target index has a value range of greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 1.3. The predetermined solution parameter priority, adjusted in descending order, is as follows: decrease the initial pH, increase the initial ratio corresponding to the second index value, increase the initial ratio corresponding to the first index value, and increase the initial temperature. Specifically, when the evaluation index is less than the preset target index, the initial pH is first decreased, and the predetermined index function is used again for calculation to obtain an intermediate evaluation index. This intermediate evaluation index is then compared with the preset target index. If the intermediate evaluation index is greater than the predetermined target index, the current nickel plating solution after adjusting the initial pH is determined as the target nickel plating solution.If the intermediate evaluation index is less than the predetermined target index, the pH of the current nickel plating solution is further reduced, and the predetermined index function is used again for calculation to obtain an updated intermediate evaluation index. If the difference between the intermediate evaluation index calculated by changing the pH of the current nickel plating solution twice is less than or equal to the first preset threshold and the current intermediate evaluation index is less than the preset target index, the initial ratio corresponding to the second index value is added to the current nickel plating solution after adjusting the pH. That is, the initial ratio of sodium citrate dihydrate solution corresponding to the hypophosphatemia concentration is added. Specifically, the sodium citrate dihydrate solution is gradually added at predetermined content intervals, and the current evaluation index value is calculated after each addition of sodium citrate dihydrate solution. If the current evaluation index value is greater than or equal to the preset target index, the current nickel plating solution with added sodium citrate dihydrate solution is determined as the target nickel plating solution. If the difference between the intermediate evaluation index calculated by changing the content of sodium citrate dihydrate solution in the current nickel plating solution twice is less than or equal to the first preset threshold and the current intermediate evaluation index is less than the preset target index, the current evaluation index is determined as the first preset threshold and the current intermediate evaluation index is less than the preset target index. When the standard deviation is less than or equal to the second preset threshold and the current evaluation index is less than the preset target index, the initial ratio corresponding to the first index value is added to the current nickel plating solution with added sodium citrate dihydrate solution. Specifically, the nickel sulfate hexahydrate solution is gradually added at predetermined content intervals, and the current evaluation index value is calculated after each addition of nickel sulfate hexahydrate solution. If the current evaluation index value is greater than or equal to the preset target index, the current nickel plating solution with added nickel sulfate hexahydrate solution is determined as the target nickel plating solution. If the difference in the calculated evaluation index is less than or equal to the third preset threshold and the current evaluation index is less than the preset target index after two changes in the content of nickel sulfate hexahydrate solution in the current nickel plating solution, the temperature of the current nickel plating solution with added nickel sulfate hexahydrate solution is gradually increased to calculate the evaluation index of the current nickel plating solution with increased temperature, until the evaluation index of the current nickel plating solution is greater than or equal to the preset target index, at which point the current nickel plating solution is determined as the target nickel plating solution.
