Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] Various embodiments of the present invention may be presented in the form of a range; it should be understood that the description in the form of a range is only for convenience and brevity, and should not be understood as a rigid limitation on the scope of the present invention; therefore, the range description should be considered to have specifically disclosed all possible sub-ranges and single numerical values ​​within the range.

In addition, whenever a numerical range is indicated herein, it is meant to include any cited number (fractional or integer) within the indicated range.

[0036] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0037] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides an electroplating additive solution, which is mainly used in a hard silver graphene electroplating mixture to improve the hardness of a coating prepared using the electroplating mixture.

[0038] The electroplating additive solution of the present invention comprises metal oxides, glycerol, alkali metal hydroxides and water. Among them, the metal oxides can stably and reliably refine the crystallization of the coating, improve the cathode polarization reaction, and thus increase the hardness of the coating finally formed. Optionally, the metal oxides include but are not limited to one or more of antimony trioxide, bismuth oxide, and manganese oxide. Alkali metal hydroxides can react with glycerol, and the product obtained by the reaction will be complexed with the metal oxides, so that the metal oxides will not precipitate in the electroplating mixture, which is convenient for later electroplating. When the electroplating mixture is used to make plated parts, silver ions, metal oxides and graphene can be synchronized and migrated in proportion, and then silver ions, metal oxides and graphene can be evenly dispersed in the coating, thereby improving the overall hardness of the coating. Optionally, alkali metal hydroxides include but are not limited to one or more of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide.

[0039] In the electroplating additive solution, the mass ratio of metal oxide, glycerol, alkali metal hydroxide and water is 1:(1-3):(3-6):(8-15), for example, 1:(1-2.8):(3-5):(8-13), 1:(1-2.4):(4-6):(10-12), 1:(2-2.5):(3-4):(13-15), 1:(2-3):(5-6):(9-11), 1:(1-1.5):(3-6):(8-10), 1:(1.2-2.6):(4-5):(11-13), 1:(1.8-2.2):(3.5-4.5):(10-14), etc. Within the aforementioned ratio range, when the electroplating additive is used in the hard silver graphene electroplating mixture, the reaction product of the alkali metal hydroxide and glycerol can fully prevent the precipitation of metal oxides. Glycerol has good dispersion properties, which is conducive to the dispersion of metal oxides by glycerol and the synchronous migration of silver ions, metal oxides and graphene in proportion. The metal oxides can be evenly distributed in the coating and can stably and reliably refine the crystals of the coating, thereby increasing the hardness of the coating finally formed.

[0040] Second, see Figure 1 The present invention also provides a method for preparing an electroplating additive solution, comprising the following steps:

[0106] Plated Example 1

[0107] At least one surface of the plated part of the present embodiment is provided with a plating layer, and the plating layer is obtained by electroplating the hard silver graphene electroplating mixed solution of the electroplating mixed solution embodiment 1 on the surface of the plated part.

[0108] Plated Parts Examples 2 to 17

[0109] Plated component embodiments 2 to 17 are substantially the same as plated component embodiment 1, except that the plating layers of plated component embodiments 2 to 17 use the hard silver graphene electroplating mixed solution of electroplating mixed solution embodiments 2 to 17.

[0110] Plated Comparative Examples 1 to 4

[0111] The plated comparative examples 1 to 4 are substantially the same as the plated example 1, except that the plated layers of the plated comparative examples 1 to 4 use the hard silver graphene electroplating mixed solution of the electroplating mixed solution comparative examples 1 to 4.

[0112] The coatings of the plated parts of the plated parts of the plated parts examples 1 to 17 and the plated parts comparison examples 1 to 4 were subjected to abrasion resistance test and hardness test, respectively, to obtain the average number of frictions and hardness that the coatings can withstand per micron. The abrasion resistance test was conducted by using a steel wool abrasion resistance tester to test the coatings; the hardness test was conducted by using a hardness tester. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0113] Table 1:

[0114]

[0115]

[0116] From Table 1 we can see that:

[0117] Compared with the average number of frictions that can be borne per micron of the coating of the plated comparative examples 1 to 4, the average number of frictions that can be borne per micron of the coating of the plated examples 1 to 17 is higher, and the wear resistance is increased by more than 12%. The reason is that the hard silver graphene electroplating mixture used in the preparation of the coating of the plated examples 1 to 17 includes the electroplating additive solution of the present invention, and the electroplating additive solution includes alkali metal hydroxide, glycerol and metal oxide. The metal oxide can stably and reliably refine the crystallization of the coating, improve the cathode polarization reaction, and thus increase the wear resistance of the coating finally formed. The alkali metal hydroxide can react with glycerol, and the product obtained by the reaction will complex with the metal oxide, so that the metal oxide will not precipitate in the electroplating mixture, so that the coating has good hardness.

[0118] Compared with the hardness of the coating of the plated comparative examples 1 to 4, the hardness of the coating of the plated examples 1 to 17 is higher, because the hard silver graphene electroplating mixture used in the preparation of the coating of the plated examples 1 to 17 includes the electroplating additive solution of the present invention, and the electroplating additive solution includes glycerol and metal oxide. The metal oxide can stably and reliably refine the crystallization of the coating, improve the cathode polarization reaction, and thus increase the hardness of the coating finally formed. Alkali metal hydroxide can react with glycerol, and the product obtained by the reaction will complex with the metal oxide, so that the metal oxide will not precipitate in the electroplating mixture, so that the coating has good hardness.

[0119] Compared with the plated comparative example 4, the plated layer of the plated example 1 has a higher hardness, a higher average number of frictions that the plated layer can withstand per micron, and a smaller amount of benzenesulfonic acid condensate sodium salt and sulfonic acid sodium salt is used. The reason is that the hard silver graphene electroplating mixed solution used in the preparation of the plated layer of the plated example 1 includes the electroplating additive solution of the present invention, and the electroplating additive solution includes glycerol. Glycerol and the dispersant have a synergistic effect, and the two cooperate to disperse graphene and metal oxides, which not only reduces the amount of dispersant used, but also enables each ion, metal oxide and graphene to reach an ideal migration rate in the electroplating mixed solution, thereby facilitating the preparation of a coating with excellent thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity and hardness.

Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the methods of the present invention and its core ideas. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the ideas of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scopes. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
