Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal surface treatment, and in particular relates to a cyanide-free cadmium iron alloy plating process for high-strength structural steel. Background Art

[0002] The aviation industry extensively utilizes high-strength structural materials to manufacture components. These materials are highly sensitive to hydrogen embrittlement and prone to stress corrosion cracking. Therefore, avoiding hydrogen embrittlement is a crucial consideration during the processing and use of high-strength structural steel. Electroplated cadmium-titanium alloys offer excellent corrosion resistance, low hydrogen embrittlement, and a simple process, making them particularly suitable for the production of protective coatings for high-strength structural steels in the aviation industry. The current cadmium-titanium alloy electroplating process typically involves direct electroplating of the alloy onto a high-strength structural steel substrate, followed by hexavalent chromium passivation. While cyanide-based cadmium-titanium alloy plating is commonly used abroad, the nitrilotriacetic acid-ammonium chloride plating process is generally used in China. A100 steel (23Co14Ni12Cr3Mo) is a highly tough, secondary-hardening, ultra-high-strength structural steel widely used in load-bearing components within the aviation industry, offering excellent application prospects. Experimental studies of cadmium-titanium alloy electroplating on A100 steel components have shown that the majority of the hydrogen in the electroplated cadmium-titanium alloy specimens resides in the coating, with only a minimal amount penetrating into the substrate. [2] It is generally believed that the titanium in the cadmium-titanium alloy coating can combine with hydrogen to form TiH3, which can effectively prevent the penetration of hydrogen into the high-strength structural steel matrix.

[0003] However, both cyanide cadmium titanium alloy plating and cyanide-free cadmium titanium alloy plating have the problem of poor bath stability. [3] , it is difficult to maintain the plating solution and the coating quality is not stable enough.
