The patent discloses the process formula of complexing agent, brightener and auxiliary agent in the potassium chloride cyanide-free cadmium plating process.

[0004] During the production process, it was found that the developed potassium chloride cyanide-free cadmium plating process had the following two problems: first, the consumption of cadmium plating brightener was large, and the decomposition products of the brightener accumulated in the plating solution, resulting in the passivation of the military green coating and the appearance of flowery phenomenon; second, after the plating solution has been used for a certain period of time, the coating becomes rough, and it is necessary to increase the amount of brightener added to improve the coating quality.

The surface quality of the cadmium-plated layer was observed under a microscope. Figure 1This is a metallographic photograph of the coating surface taken with a microscope and magnified 1000 times. The coating surface is flat and smooth.

[0085] Test Example 2: The surface quality of the cadmium plating layer prepared by the potassium chloride cyanide-free cadmium plating process without adding cyanide-free cadmium plating leveler was tested.

[0086] The following new potassium chloride cyanide-free cadmium plating process is adopted: Cadmium chloride 30g / L, potassium chloride 120g / L, PULIZIER NCC-617 AC complexing agent 120g / L, PULIZIERNCC-617 Base auxiliary agent 28mL / L, PULIZIER NCC-617 Bri brightener 2.0mL / L, plating tank temperature 28℃, plating solution pH 8, cathode current density 1.0A / dm 2 , cathode movement 3m / min, anode current density 1.8A / dm 2 .

[0087] The brass test piece was degreased, wiped with a scouring pad and pickled, then plated with cadmium for 60 minutes, rinsed with water and dried with electric hot air. The surface quality of the cadmium-plated layer was observed under a microscope. Figure 2 The metallographic photograph of the coating surface magnified 1000 times by a microscope shows that the coating surface is in the shape of fine branches. The comparison between Test Example 1 and Test Example 2 shows that the addition of 2.0 mL / L of the cyanide-free cadmium plating leveler of the present invention to the existing potassium chloride cyanide-free cadmium plating solution significantly improves the flatness and brightness of the cadmium plating layer.

[0088] Test Example 3: The consumption of the leveler, brightener and auxiliary agent in the new potassium chloride cyanide-free cadmium plating process of the present invention is detected.

[0089] The potassium chloride cyanide-free cadmium plating solution containing the leveler prepared in Test Example 1 was used to carry out a 267mL Hertz test. The plating was carried out at a current of 0.5A. Each test piece was plated for 1h. For each plated test piece, 0.05mL of cyanide-free cadmium plating leveler, 0.02mL of PULIZIER NCC-617Bri brightener, 0.05mL of PULIZIER NCC-617 Base auxiliary agent, and 0.5g of PULIZIER NCC-617 AC complexing agent were added. 50 test pieces were plated continuously, and the appearance of the cadmium plating layer remained basically the same. In this test example, the consumption of cyanide-free cadmium plating leveler was 100mL / kAh, the consumption of PULIZIER NCC-617 Bri brightener was 40mL / kAh, and the consumption of PULIZIER NCC-617Base auxiliary agent was 100mL / kAh.

[0090] Test example 4: To detect the consumption of brightener and auxiliary agent in the potassium chloride cyanide-free cadmium plating process without leveling agent.

[0091] The 267mL Hertz test was carried out using the potassium chloride cyanide-free cadmium plating solution without leveling agent prepared in Test Example 2. The plating was carried out at a current of 0.5A. Each test piece was plated for 1h. 0.1mL of PULIZIER NCC-617 Bri brightener, 0.05mL of PULIZIER NCC-617 Base auxiliary agent, and 0.5g of PULIZIER NCC-617 AC complexing agent were added to each plated test piece. After plating 50 test pieces continuously, it was observed that the appearance quality of the cadmium plating layer decreased with the extension of the electroplating time. In this test example, the consumption of PULIZIER NCC-617 Bri brightener was 200mL / kAh, and the consumption of PULIZIER NCC-617 Base auxiliary agent was 100mL / kAh. Comparison of Test Example 3 with Test Example 4 shows that after adding the cyanide-free cadmium plating leveler of the present invention to the current potassium chloride cyanide-free cadmium plating solution, the consumption of PULIZIER NCC-617 Bri brightener is reduced by 80%, which effectively overcomes the defect of large consumption of the current potassium chloride cyanide-free cadmium plating brightener.

[0092] Test Example 5: The 50th cadmium-plated test pieces of Test Examples 3 and 4 were respectively subjected to military green passivation using the OVG-31 military green passivation agent of Chaobang Chemical. The passivation process is as follows: OVG-31 military green passivator 100mL / L, passivation solution pH 1.3, passivation temperature 25℃, swing plated parts, passivation time 60s.

[0093] The cadmium-plated test piece in Test Example 3 had a normal military green appearance after military green passivation, and the cadmium-plated test piece in Test Example 4 had a military green appearance after military green passivation, but there were faint signs of blooming.

[0094] Test Example 6: The cadmium-plated + hexavalent chromium color passivation samples prepared in Example 1 and Example 3 were subjected to an acetate spray test for 450 hours in accordance with GB / T 10125-2021 "Artificial Atmosphere Corrosion Test Salt Spray Test", and no white corrosion products were generated on the surface of the plated parts. The cadmium-plated + hexavalent chromium color passivation + graphene-modified sealant sealed samples prepared in Example 2 and Example 4 were subjected to an acetate spray test for 520 hours, and no white corrosion products were generated on the surface. The cadmium plating layer prepared by the present invention has excellent corrosion resistance.
