Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metal surface treatment technology, specifically relating to a potassium chloride zinc plating process for magnesium alloy parts. Background Technology

[0002] Magnesium alloys possess high specific strength and specific stiffness, as well as advantages such as electromagnetic shielding, vibration damping, and good machinability. They are widely used in military, automotive, aircraft, mobile phone, computer, and electromechanical industrial products, and are hailed as "green engineering materials of the century." However, magnesium alloys are chemically reactive, and the oxides formed on their surface are porous and cannot effectively protect the substrate. Therefore, developing highly corrosion-resistant protective layers for magnesium alloys is a research hotspot in the industry.

[0003] There are many methods for surface treatment of magnesium alloys, mainly including electrophoretic coating, surface plating, micro-arc oxidation, anodizing, chemical conversion coating, and spraying organic coatings. [1] However, these surface treatment methods all have certain limitations, and their protective effects need further improvement. Currently, in production applications, electrophoretic coating technology is mainly used to prepare a protective layer on the surface of magnesium alloys. This protective layer has relatively good protective performance for magnesium alloy parts.

[0004] The technology for preparing protective layers on magnesium alloy surfaces through electroplating and electroless plating is still in the research stage. There have been some research reports in the industry on electroplating and electroless nickel plating of magnesium alloys. [2-4] However, the electroplated and electroless nickel plating layers prepared on the surface of magnesium alloys offer no electrochemical protection to the magnesium alloy substrate, and a significant potential difference exists between the substrate and the plating layer. Existing electroplated and electroless nickel plating layers typically contain a certain number of pores, allowing corrosive media to penetrate these pores and cause galvanic corrosion, rapidly damaging the magnesium alloy substrate. Therefore, there are currently no reports of mass production applications of this electroplating technology for magnesium alloys.

[0005] In recent years, hydroxyl graphene-modified sealing agents have made significant progress in improving the corrosion resistance of coatings, and the prepared sealing layers possess self-healing properties. [5] It is used to seal the zinc plating layer and zinc-nickel alloy plating layer that have been passivated by trivalent chromium, thus solving the problem that trivalent chromium passivation does not have self-healing properties.
