Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical plating, and in particular relates to a method for chemically plating nickel on the surface of an aluminum-scandium alloy target. Background Art
[0002] Piezoelectric film is the core material of high-frequency mobile communication RF filters, MEMS micro advanced sensors and other devices. Compared with piezoelectric films such as AlN, ZnO, Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT), AlScN film has better piezoelectric properties. AlScN film is prepared by magnetron sputtering using AlSc alloy target. The increase of Sc content in the target helps to improve the piezoelectric performance and quality factor of the prepared AlScN film. The target assembly consists of an alloy target and a backing plate. During the magnetron sputtering process, the backing plate provides effective heat dissipation and mechanical support for the alloy target. In the bonding process between the target and the backing plate, brazing is very suitable for industrial production due to its advantages such as simple operation, low equipment requirements and low cost. However, when the scandium content in the aluminum-scandium alloy target is ≥20 at.%, its brazing performance is not ideal. Therefore, the target must be surface treated to enhance its brazing performance.
[0003] Nickel plating on the welding surface of the target can not only improve the wettability between the target and the brazing material, thereby improving the welding bonding rate, but also reduce the residual stress caused by the inconsistent thermal expansion coefficients of the target and the back plate during the heating and cooling process of magnetron sputtering. The main methods of nickel plating are electroplating and chemical plating. The advantages of electroplating are low cost, fast deposition of the coating, simple nickel plating solution and long use time, and the nickel plating process is less affected by temperature and pH. The disadvantages are that the coating has pores, uneven coating thickness, limited deep plating ability, and requirements for the shape of the plated parts. The advantages of chemical plating are uniform coating thickness, suitable for various substrates and shapes, can obtain coatings of any thickness, strong bonding, good uniformity, and low porosity, but a matching pre-treatment process is required.
[0004] Aluminum-scandium alloy is a difficult metal to electrolessly plate. This is because the electronegativity of aluminum and scandium is 1.61 and 1.36 respectively, which can react with H in aqueous solution. + Ion reaction results in a large amount of H2 being produced during the chemical plating process, which causes the coating to become loose and the bonding strength of the coating to decrease. The hydrogen evolution reaction can also cause the nickel particles in the coating to fall off and pollute the plating solution. In addition, aluminum and scandium are both active metals, which easily form an oxide film on the surface of the alloy. The oxide film itself does not have catalytic activity, thereby hindering the close bonding between the coating and the substrate. The present invention has developed a method for preparing a nickel-plated layer for an aluminum-scandium alloy target by innovating the pretreatment process, nickel plating formula and nickel plating method, which has important practical significance. Summary of the invention
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for chemically plating nickel on the surface of an aluminum-scandium alloy target, wherein the obtained coating is flat, uniform, dense, has a phosphorus content of ≤10 wt.%, and a bonding strength of ≥20 MPa.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A method for chemically plating nickel on the surface of an aluminum-scandium alloy target material comprises the following steps: (1) Pretreatment: Grinding and cleaning the surface of the aluminum-scandium alloy target; (2) Degreasing: The aluminum-scandium alloy target pretreated in step (1) is first immersed in an alkaline solution for degreasing, then rinsed with deionized water and blown dry, then placed in acetone for ultrasonic degreasing, then rinsed with deionized water and blown dry; (3) Alkaline etching: soak the aluminum-scandium alloy target after degreasing in step (2) in a sodium hydroxide solution and then rinse with deionized water; (4) Pickling: After the alkaline etching in step (3), the aluminum-scandium alloy target is immersed in a pickling solution at room temperature and then washed with deionized water; (5) Palladium activation: the aluminum-scandium alloy target after pickling in step (4) is placed in a palladium activation solution and immersed at room temperature, and then washed with deionized water; (6) Ultrasonic nickel plating: After heating the chemical nickel plating solution, put the aluminum-scandium alloy target after the activation treatment in step (5) into it, use ultrasonic assisted nickel plating, take out the aluminum-scandium alloy target, wash it, and blow it dry; (7) Heat treatment: The aluminum-scandium alloy target material after nickel plating in step (6) is heated and then cooled to room temperature.
[0007] Furthermore, the scandium content in the aluminum-scandium alloy target of the present invention is 20-50 at.%.
[0008] Many impurities and grease will remain on the surface of the aluminum-scandium alloy target substrate due to grinding. These substances will hinder the combination of the coating and the substrate, resulting in bulging of the aluminum-scandium alloy surface. The present invention adopts a dual degreasing method of alkaline degreasing and organic solution ultrasonic degreasing, that is, the oil on the surface of the plated part is first removed by using an alkaline solution, and then ultrasonication in acetone can not only vibrate off the impurities remaining from grinding, but also penetrate into the tiny gaps and pores on the surface of the plated part through ultrasonic waves to remove the oil that is difficult to reach.
[0009] In the pickling of the present invention, a mixed solution containing aminosalicylic acid and ammonium bifluoride with weak corrosive effect is used to remove alkaline corrosion products and oxide films to expose the surface of the aluminum-scandium substrate, thereby avoiding the problem of over-corrosion of the plated parts caused by pickling with traditional dilute hydrochloric acid and dilute sulfuric acid.
[0010] The present invention forms an activation layer on the surface of the aluminum-scandium alloy by using a palladium activation solution, which can promote the nucleation, growth and coating of nickel elements on the surface of the aluminum-scandium alloy, shorten the initiation time of chemical nickel plating, make the nickel plating process more rapid and efficient, and also reduce the corrosion of the plating solution on the surface of the plated part.
[0011] In the present invention, the bonding force between the coating and the substrate is very important. In order to improve the bonding force of the coating, the present invention first adopts ultrasonic nickel plating, and the activation, cavitation and stirring effects of ultrasonic waves can greatly improve the bonding force of the coating; secondly, heat treatment is used to improve the bonding force. This is because the coating obtained by chemical nickel plating inevitably has internal stress, which can cause deformation or cracking of the coating, thereby reducing the bonding force. Heat treatment can promote the redistribution and release of the internal stress of the coating, reduce the risk of cracking and peeling, and thus improve the bonding force of the coating.
[0012] The following are preferred technical solutions of the present invention, but are not intended to be limitations of the technical solutions provided by the present invention. Through the following technical solutions, the technical objectives and beneficial effects of the present invention can be better achieved and realized.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step (1), the surface of the aluminum-scandium alloy target is polished from coarse to fine using sandpaper of different mesh sizes until it is polished to above 1000#. Polishing the surface of the target can not only remove the roughness and some mechanical defects on the surface of the target, making the surface smooth, thereby improving the uniformity and density of the coating, but also provide a clean, pollution-free adhesion surface for the coating. After the polishing treatment, the bonding force between the coating and the plated part will be enhanced, and the coating will not easily fall off.
[0014] Furthermore, the alkaline solution in step (2) contains 20-25 g / L of sodium carbonate, 10-15 g / L of sodium silicate, and 1-3 g / L of emulsifier OP-10.
[0015] Furthermore, the immersion degreasing in step (2) is carried out at a temperature of 40-50°C and for a time of 5-10 min.
[0016] Furthermore, the temperature of the ultrasonic degreasing in step (2) is 25-40°C and the time is 5-10 min.
[0017] Furthermore, the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution in step (3) is 20-30 g / L.
[0018] Furthermore, the soaking temperature in step (3) is 50-60°C and the soaking time is 60-90 s.
[0019] Furthermore, the pickling solution in step (4) contains 10-20 g / L of aminosalicylic acid and 10-15 g / L of ammonium bifluoride.
[0020] Furthermore, the soaking time in step (4) is 30 to 60 seconds.
[0021] Furthermore, the palladium activation solution in step (5) contains 0.1-1 g / L of palladium chloride, 1-10 mL / L of hydrochloric acid, and 0.5-1 g / L of ammonium chloride.
[0022] Furthermore, the soaking time in step (5) is 10 to 60 seconds.
[0023] Furthermore, the chemical nickel plating solution in step (6) contains: 25-30 g / L nickel salt, 25-32 g / L reducing agent, 25-40 g / L complexing agent, 15-25 g / L buffer, 2-4 g / L corrosion inhibitor, 2-6 mg / L stabilizer, 0.2-1 g / L accelerator, 1-2 g / L surfactant, and its pH is 7.5-9.0; Wherein, the nickel salt is nickel sulfate.
[0024] The reducing agent is sodium hypophosphite.
[0025] The complexing agent is a complex of citric acid or citrate and lactic acid in a mass ratio of (10-15):(15-25).
[0026] The buffer is sodium acetate, which can effectively maintain the stability of the pH value of the plating solution during the plating process.
[0027] The corrosion inhibitor is aminoacetic acid, which can be adsorbed on the aluminum-scandium interface to convert H + Separated from the aluminum-scandium interface, it promotes the reduction of nickel.
[0028] The stabilizer is thiourea or potassium iodide, which can improve the stability of the nickel plating solution.
[0029] The accelerator is a fluoride, preferably sodium fluoride or ammonium fluoride, which can effectively increase the plating speed.
[0030] The surfactant is sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, which can effectively reduce the porosity of the coating.
[0031] The complexing agent in the present invention is a complex of citric acid or citrate and lactic acid. Citric acid and citrate have the advantage of stabilizing the plating solution, but the plating speed is slow and the plating layer has poor bonding strength; lactic acid has the advantages of fast plating speed and good plating layer bonding strength, but the plating solution is unstable. By mixing the two in a certain proportion, the stability of the plating solution can be ensured, and a faster plating speed can be achieved, and the plating layer has good bonding strength.
[0032] At the same time, since aluminum and scandium are active metals, they easily react strongly with hydrogen ions in the plating solution. In the acidic plating solution, the reaction rate of aluminum and scandium elements with the solution is faster than the deposition rate of the coating, so it is difficult to obtain a complete coating. However, too high a pH value will cause the plating solution to be unstable, thereby affecting the performance of the coating. The present invention has found through experiments that when the pH value is 7.5-9.0, the bonding strength of the coating is relatively good.
[0033] Furthermore, the preparation method of the chemical nickel plating solution is to accurately weigh nickel salt, reducing agent, complexing agent, buffer, corrosion inhibitor, stabilizer, accelerator, and surfactant, dissolve them respectively with deionized water, and then add other solutions except the reducing agent to the nickel salt solution in sequence, add the reducing agent solution after sufficient dissolution, and finally dilute with deionized water to the required volume and adjust the pH.
[0034] The pH can be adjusted by using one or more of acetic acid, ammonia water, and sodium hydroxide.
[0035] The present invention has certain requirements on the dissolution mode and the order of addition of each component in the process of preparing the chemical nickel plating solution. The nickel salt solution and the reducing agent solution cannot be directly mixed, otherwise an oxidation-reduction reaction may occur, resulting in premature decomposition of the solution.
[0036] Furthermore, in step (6), the chemical nickel plating solution is preheated to 80-85°C.
[0037] Furthermore, the ultrasonic power of the ultrasonic assisted nickel plating in step (6) is 100-200 W, the nickel plating time is 20-40 min, and the loading amount (loading amount refers to the ratio of the surface area of the aluminum-scandium alloy target immersed in the chemical plating solution to the volume of the plating solution) is 50-200 cm 2 / L.
[0038] The coating of the present invention is a brazing transition layer, which is used to improve the bonding between the aluminum-scandium alloy and the brazing material, so the coating on the surface of the aluminum-scandium alloy must achieve sufficient density, uniformity and good bonding strength. Since chemical plating has better characteristics than electroplating, chemical nickel plating is used to prepare the nickel plating layer of the aluminum-scandium alloy target.
[0039] At the same time, the present invention utilizes the effect of ultrasound to improve the bonding force of the coating, but too high power will weaken the ultrasonic cavitation effect, thereby reducing the effect of ultrasound on the plating solution and the plated parts. At the same time, too high power will also cause part of the energy to be absorbed by the plating solution and converted into heat energy, so that the temperature of the plating solution increases. Therefore, the present invention has certain requirements for ultrasonic power. The loading amount has a great influence on the plating solution during chemical nickel plating. When the loading amount is too large, the plating solution only remains stable for a short time, and then turbidity or even black precipitation occurs. This is because the loading amount is too large, the catalytic surface is too large, and the deposition speed is too fast, resulting in the generation of hypophosphite nickel precipitation.
[0040] Furthermore, the temperature of the heating treatment in step (6) and step (7) is 150-200°C, and the time is 30-60 minutes.
[0041] Furthermore, the thickness of the nickel coating obtained on the surface of the aluminum-scandium alloy target is 4-10 μm, and the phosphorus content is ≤10 wt.%.
[0042] The coating used in the present invention is used as a welding layer, and there are certain requirements for the thickness and phosphorus content of the coating. If the coating is too thin, the solder can easily penetrate the pore defects in the nickel coating, causing perforation or even rupture of the coating, which reduces the welding bonding rate; if the coating is too thick, the internal stress of the coating will increase, reducing the adhesion between the coating and the target substrate, and the coating will fall off or crack during welding, resulting in joint quality problems, and also increasing the nickel plating cost. When the phosphorus content in the coating is ≤10 wt.%, it helps to further improve the wettability of the solder and the coating.
[0043] The advantages of the present invention are: (1) The present invention provides a good catalytically active surface for chemical nickel plating through surface pretreatment, including grinding, alkaline degreasing, organic solution ultrasonic degreasing, alkaline etching, pickling with a mixed solution of aminosalicylic acid and ammonium bifluoride, and palladium activation. By improving the nickel plating formula and adjusting the pH value of the nickel plating solution, a complete coating is successfully obtained on the surface of the aluminum-scandium alloy target. The obtained coating is flat, uniform, and dense, with a thickness of 4 to 10 μm and a phosphorus content of ≤10 wt.%. At the same time, the coating deposition speed is relatively fast.
[0044] (2) The present invention significantly improves the bonding strength of the coating by using ultrasonic-assisted chemical nickel plating and combining it with a heat treatment process after chemical plating, and ultimately makes the bonding strength of the coating ≥20 MPa, meeting the requirements of the aluminum-scandium alloy (scandium content 20~50 at.%) target material for the bonding strength of the coating.
[0045] (3) The nickel plating process of the present invention is simple, the plating solution has good stability, the equipment is simple, and it is suitable for industrial production, and has important practical value and market prospects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
