Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of metal surface treatment, and particularly relates to a method for trivalent chromium electroplating of neodymium iron boron with triple electrochemical protection and a coating structure. Background Art
[0002] China has become the production and market center of global neodymium iron boron permanent magnet materials, but the poor corrosion resistance of neodymium iron boron plated parts restricts the development of China's neodymium iron boron and related industries. The neodymium iron boron alloy has a multiphase structure, including the main phase Nd2Fe14B, Nd-rich phase (Nd4Fe), and B-rich phase (Nd1+εFe4B4). The volume fractions of each phase are approximately 84%, 14%, and 2% respectively, and the main phase Nd2Fe14B is the magnetic phase. Since the Nd-rich phase and B-rich phase are very active and easily oxidized, and the electrochemical potentials of each phase vary greatly, galvanic corrosion is likely to occur. [1] 。
[0003] During the electroplating process, acidic plating solutions, alkaline plating solutions, and plating solutions containing chlorides that penetrate into the pores on the surface of neodymium iron boron will corrode the neodymium iron boron substrate and the coating, which is called residual corrosion in the industry. Currently, a neutral citrate nickel plating process is usually used to prepare a pre-nickel plating layer on the surface of neodymium iron boron, but this coating has a high magnetic shielding problem for neodymium iron boron permanent magnet materials. [2] 。
[0004] In the mid- to high-end manufacturing industry, the neodymium iron boron permanent magnet is mainly prepared with a nickel plating process for the protective layer. The process is as follows: a citrate pre-nickel plating layer and a bright nickel plating layer are sequentially prepared on the neodymium iron boron substrate, or a citrate pre-nickel plating layer, a copper plating layer, and a bright nickel plating layer are sequentially prepared on the neodymium iron boron substrate. GB / T 34491–2017 "Surface Coatings on Sintered Neodymium Iron Boron" stipulates that the time for rusting to occur during the neutral salt spray test for nickel plating or nickel + copper + nickel coatings on the surface of neodymium iron boron is 48h, while the time for rusting to occur during the neutral salt spray test for nickel plating or nickel + copper + nickel coatings on the surface of other materials is much higher than this value.
[0005] In the application of neodymium iron boron electroplated parts, it is found that the corrosion that occurs on the plated parts is usually pitting corrosion. The corrosive medium penetrates through the coating to corrode the neodymium iron boron substrate, and granular red corrosion products appear on the surface of the coating, while the coating itself is not corroded. Therefore, to solve the corrosion resistance problem of neodymium iron boron plated parts, the key is to solve the electrochemical protection problem of the coating.
[0006] Functional multi-layer electroplating technology is very important for breaking through some problems faced in the electroplating field by integrating the coating structure. The multi-layer composite coating not only has a mechanical protection effect but also has good electrochemical protection function [3] and can meet the corrosion resistance requirements of various high-end products.
[0007] The nickel-cobalt alloy coating has many excellent physical, chemical, and mechanical properties, and its market share is increasing year by year. The nickel-cobalt alloy coating has higher corrosion resistance and wear resistance than the bright nickel coating, so it can be used as a protective and decorative coating in high-end manufacturing [4] .
[0008] Using trivalent chromium electroplating to replace hexavalent chromium electroplating has achieved good social and environmental benefits. In protective and decorative electroplating, the trivalent chromium electroplating process is used to prepare a surface coating on the bright nickel coating to improve the corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and anti-discoloration ability of the coating [5] .
