Specifically: the C2 liquid contains 250 g / L of sodium hypophosphite, 5000 mg / L of molybdenum oxide, 1000 mg / L of thiourea, 100 mL / L of lactic acid, and the remainder is ultrapure water.

[0091] Comparative Example 3
[0092] The specific implementation of this comparative example is the same as that of Example 1, except that the C2 liquid does not contain a buffer, a chelating agent, and a stabilizer. Specifically, the C2 liquid contains 250 g / L of sodium hypophosphite, 10 mL / L of lactic acid, and the remainder is ultrapure water.

[0095] It can be seen from Tables 1 to 6 that the present invention can extend the service life of the plating solution by reasonably regulating the components of C1 liquid and C2 liquid (the stable thickness of the coating per unit time and the stable phosphorus content in the coating indicate that the plating solution is not scrapped and can continue to be used, and the service life can be extended), and the mechanical properties of the coating are stable (the hardness of the coating can reflect the mechanical properties).
[0096] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
