Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of ceramic electroplating, and particularly relates to a pretreatment process for secondary metallization electroplating nickel of a ceramic relay shell. BACKGROUND
[0002] In modern industrial production, electroplating has been widely applied. After primary metallization of ceramics, it is generally difficult to directly use common solder for welding, and secondary metallization (electroplating nickel or coating nickel and sintering nickel) is needed. Most manufacturers choose the method of electroplating nickel to improve the flowability of solder on the metallized surface and prevent the erosion of solder to the metallized layer.
[0003] Now, two kinds of electroplating processes are commonly used for secondary metallization of ceramics. One is the ordinary electroplating process, such as the Watts dark nickel type of nickel sulfate-nickel chloride-boric acid, and the other is the nickel plating process of nickel sulfamate stress-free type. After nickelization or brazing of the ceramic relay shell, many raised small points appear on the metal surface. Especially after nickelization, these raised nickel points appear, and the raised points (also known as blisters) will flatten when gently pressed. It shows that the raised place is a hole. This situation is caused by: molybdenum-manganese sintering is to lay an organic paste and metal oxide mixture on the surface of the ceramic for wet hydrogen sintering. That is, the molybdenum wire furnace is reduced and sintered in a hydrogen atmosphere, the metal oxide is reduced to metal, and the organic matter is converted into carbon or CO, etc. Due to the generation of gas, the surface of the molybdenum-manganese sintered ceramic is loose and porous. In the subsequent brazing process of the ceramic relay shell, in order to avoid the presence of organic matter such as sulfur elements, a dark nickel electroplating process is adopted, but the process has poor deep plating capability, and it is impossible to plate nickel on the bottom layer from the air or micro-cracks in the loose and porous molybdenum-manganese layer, which is the nickel layer sealing the hole or forming a hole in the micro-crack. These holes have a serious impact on the air tightness and tensile strength of the shell, and are a great hidden danger to the quality of the shell.
[0004] With the development of new energy vehicles, the ceramic relay shell is an important link to form a battery. Air tightness and tensile strength are two important index parameters. Bubbling (holes) are easily produced on the secondary metallization welding surface of the ceramic, which seriously affects the air tightness and tensile strength.
[0005] The quality of the metalized surface layer of the porcelain piece plated with nickel directly affects the sealing quality of the metalized porcelain and the metal part. The existing plating methods include electroplating nickel and chemical plating nickel. The literature (Liu Huiqing, "Chemical plating nickel process for ceramic-metal sealing", Vacuum Electronics Technology, 2006, No. 2, pages 55-58) describes the conventional processes of the existing electroplating nickel and chemical plating nickel and their advantages and disadvantages. The literature discloses that the process flow of the existing electroplating nickel is: ① cleaning the metalized porcelain piece; ② soaking in dilute hydrochloric acid; ③ flushing; ④ immersing in plating solution; ⑤ adjusting the current for electroplating; ⑥ taking out from the plating solution; ⑦ flushing; ⑧ boiling in deionized water; and ⑨ drying. The plating nickel system is a nickel sulfate system. The prepared nickel layer has poor uniform plating and depth capacity, and the air tightness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance are general, which greatly limits the application of the electroplating nickel process.
[0006] For example, the patent CN104073850A discloses a method for electroplating nickel on a ceramic metal layer, which comprises pretreating the ceramic metal layer, activating the surface of the ceramic metal layer through acid and alkaline solutions, and then electroplating. The product obtained by controlling the alternating change of the current density has a uniform surface plating thickness, but the problem of welding blistering is not solved.
[0007] Therefore, how to solve the welding blistering is an urgent problem for the manufacturers of ceramic relay housings. SUMMARY

[0009] To achieve the above object, the present application provides the following technical solutions:
[0010] On the one hand, the present application provides a kind of ceramic relay housing secondary metallization electroplating nickel pretreatment process, comprising the following steps:
[0011] S1 pretreatment: the shell surface is immersed in micro-etching solution for micro-etching to form a metal rough surface;
[0012] S2 activation: the shell treated by S1 is activated by soaking in acid;
[0013] S3 pre-plating nickel: the shell treated by S2 is pre-plated in a pre-plating nickel solution;
[0014] S4 soft nickel plating: nickel plating is carried out in a nickel plating system.
[0015] Further, the micro-etching solution comprises concentrated sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide.
[0016] Further, the micro-etching solution comprises concentrated sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, thiourea, polyethylene glycol, EDTA-2Na salt and phytic acid.
[0017] Further, in the micro-etching solution, the concentration of the concentrated sulfuric acid is 50-65 ml / L; the hydrogen peroxide is 200-300 ml / L; the thiourea is 2-3 g / L; the polyethylene glycol is 0.5-2 g / L; the EDTA-2Na salt is 0.5-2 g / L; and the phytic acid is 0.2-1.0 ml / L.

Further, the concentrated sulfuric acid is 98% sulfuric acid. Further, the polyethylene glycol is selected from polyethylene glycol 2000, polyethylene glycol 4000 or polyethylene glycol 6000.

[0020] Further, the temperature of the micro-etching is 20-30℃. Further, the time for the immersion micro-etching is 30-60 s.
[0021] Further, the acid is hydrochloric acid, and the concentration is 100-150 ml / L.
[0022] Further, in S2, the activation temperature is 15-25℃, and the activation time is 1-5 minutes. Further, in S2, the activation temperature is 20-25℃, and the activation time is 3-5 minutes.
[0023] Further, the pre-plating nickel solution comprises nickel sulfate, dimethylamino borane (DMAB), sodium citrate trihydrate, citric acid monohydrate, sodium acetate, boric acid, polyethylene glycol, KI and KIO3.
[0024] Further, in the pre-plating nickel solution, the concentration of the nickel sulfate is 20-30 ml / L; the concentration of the dimethylamino borane is 1-5 ml / L; the concentration of the sodium citrate trihydrate is 15-30 ml / L; the concentration of the citric acid monohydrate is 7-15 ml / L; the concentration of the sodium acetate is 10-20 ml / L; the concentration of the boric acid is 10-15 ml / L; the concentration of the polyethylene glycol is 0.5-1 ml / L; the concentration of the KI is 0.5-1.5 ml / L; and the concentration of the KIO3 is 2-5 ml / L.

[0026] Further, the pH of the pre-plating nickel solution is 7.8-8.8, preferably 8.5, and ammonia is used to adjust the pH of the solution.
[0027] Further, the temperature of the pre-plating treatment is 40-60℃, preferably 45℃. Further, the current of the pre-plating is 0.5-1A, and the time is 5-10s.
[0028] Further, the loading amount of nickel on the surface of the shell obtained after the pre-plating treatment is 0.5-2.0dm 2 / L, preferably 1.5dm 2 / L. Further, the deposition rate of nickel on the surface of the shell obtained after the pre-plating treatment is 1-10um / h, preferably 4.0um / h. Further, the thickness of the nickel layer on the surface of the shell obtained after the pre-plating treatment is controlled to be 0.5-1.0um.
[0029] The main salt of the pre-plating nickel solution of the present application is nickel sulfate; using DMAB as a reducing agent can avoid the problem of nickel layer melting caused by soldering temperature fluctuation in the subsequent soldering process, thereby affecting the problem of the airtightness of the nickel layer; sodium citrate trihydrate, citric acid monohydrate and sodium acetate are combined complexing agents, which can on the one hand avoid the deposition of nickel ions, thereby reducing the pre-plating nickel efficiency, and on the other hand effectively ensure the efficiency of nickel plating with nickel sulfate, and minimize the cost consumption of the pre-plating nickel solution; boric acid is a pH buffer and preservative, which can prevent the chemical nickel from causing bacterial proliferation due to the complexing agent citrate during shutdown, and can cause quality problems to the plated layer. The addition of boric acid can kill bacteria and inhibit the generation of bacteria, thereby maintaining the stability of the pre-plating nickel solution. Polyethylene glycol is a surfactant that reduces the generation of pinholes in the nickel layer. Potassium iodide and potassium iodate are combined stabilizers that are harmless to the physical and chemical properties of the plated layer, and can effectively slow down the autocatalytic speed of the pre-plating nickel solution. The pre-plating nickel solution of the present application is a phosphorus-free solution, which solves the defect of containing phosphorus in the chemical nickel plating solution (pre-plating nickel solution), can prevent the influence of the presence of phosphorus in the nickel layer on the subsequent soldering effect, and can also avoid the air leakage phenomenon in the subsequent soldering. The pre-plating nickel solution of the present application is a chemical nickel system, which does not contain phosphorus, and can induce chemical nickel after forcibly plating a layer of nickel on the shell.
[0030] Further, the nickel plating system includes nickel, nickel chloride, and boric acid.

Further, the nickel plating system comprises a nickel concentration of 30 g / L; a nickel chloride concentration of 5 g / L; and a boric acid concentration of 40 g / L.
[0031] Furthermore, the pH of the nickel plating system is 3.8 to 4.5, preferably 4.
[0032] Further, the temperature of the soft nickel plating is 40-50°C, preferably 45°C. Further, the shell D of the soft nickel plating... K The value is 0.5–1.0 dm. 2 Preferably 0.5dm 2 Furthermore, the current density of the soft nickel plating is 1–40 A / dm². 3 .
[0033] Furthermore, the nickel layer thickness on the shell is controlled at 1.5–2.0 μm after the soft nickel electroplating step, and the nickel layer thickness of the final product is controlled at 2–3.5 μm.
[0034] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0035] ① The micro-etching step removes the deep oxide film on the surface, forming a uniform and fresh rough metal surface, creating a good metal surface layer for subsequent nickel plating. The activation step removes a small amount or slight oxide film from the metal surface layer. During pre-plating, alkaline electroless nickel plating provides a ductile and deep-plating-capable electroless nickel layer. Because phosphorus is a solder-incompatible element, easily forming secondary crystal phases and other harmful components with iron, the pre-plating solution uses nickel-boron electroless nickel plating, which is phosphorus-free. During soft nickel plating, a nickel sulfamate process is used to thicken the nickel layer. The nickel plating system primarily obtains a nickel layer plated with nickel sulfamate, which achieves stress-free or low-stress performance, significantly preventing cracking during subsequent brazing.
[0036] ② Compared with conventional electroplating processes, after pretreatment by the method described in this invention, almost no blistering was found in the products obtained by subsequent nickel plating or brazing, with a blistering rate of less than 0.1%. This effectively solves the problem of welding blistering in conventional electroplating processes. This method has also been applied to actual production and has achieved good economic results.
[0037] ③ The method described in this invention obtains a nickel layer thickness of 2-3.5 μm on the shell surface, which has high tensile strength, good airtightness and fineness, and high yield. It is significantly better than the electroplating process in the prior art and has broad application prospects. It also produces almost no bubbles. Attached Figure Description
