Description

Technical Field

[0002] Hard chrome plating, also known as wear-resistant chrome, offers high hardness and a low coefficient of friction, making it widely used in structures such as aircraft landing gear. Chrome-plated parts generally consist of a substrate and a chrome layer applied to the substrate.

If the substrate is severely damaged, the hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of the chrome-plated part repaired using this method will not meet the requirements.

[0037] The chromium-plated part generally includes a base body and a chromium-plated layer arranged on the base body. During use, the chromium-plated layer will be damaged to a certain extent, and the damage forms mainly include local wear, scratches, and peeling of the plating layer, and the base body itself will inevitably be damaged. The prior art provides a chromium plating layer and carbon steel composite base body brush plating method, which first trims the damaged part, then uses an insulating tape to shield and protect the undamaged part, and finally brush plates the damaged part for repair. The problem of the above-mentioned scheme is that it directly brush plates the damaged part for repair, which can re-form the chromium-plated layer, but does not repair the base body. In the case of severe damage to the base body, the hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the chromium-plated part repaired by the repair method do not meet the requirements.

[0038] To solve the above-mentioned problem, the present embodiment provides a chromium-plated layer damaged part brush plating method, which can be used in the field of brush plating technology.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 The chromium-plated layer damaged part includes a base body 1 and a chromium-plated layer 2 arranged on the base body 1. Reference Figure 2 The main steps of the chromium-plated layer damaged part brush plating method provided by the present embodiment are as follows.

[0040] S100: grinding and trimming the damaged part of the chromium-plated layer damaged part, so that the total width of the damaged part is at least 3 times the total depth.

[0041] Among them, the damaged part generally appears in the form of a pit, such as Figure 1 As shown, after the chrome plating layer 2 is damaged, the substrate 1 will also be damaged to a certain extent. The damaged part of the chrome plating layer is ground and trimmed to facilitate subsequent filling and brush plating operations.

[0042] S200 : using argon arc welding to fill the damaged part of the substrate 1 to form a filling layer 11 .

[0043] This step can complete the repair of the substrate 1 .

[0044] S300: grinding and polishing the surface of the filling layer 11.

[0045] S400: Activate the surfaces of the filling layer 11 and the chrome plating layer 2 using an activation solution.

[0046] The surface of the filling layer 11 is polished and then activated to prepare for subsequent brush plating. In this embodiment, the entire filling layer 11 needs to be activated, but for the chrome layer 2, only the chrome layer 2 near the damaged area is activated.

[0047] S500: Brush plating is performed on the surfaces of the filling layer 11 and the chrome plating layer using a brush plating solution.

[0048] Specifically, a plating pen is dipped in a special activation liquid, and the surface of the chrome plating layer 2 and the filling layer 11 are rubbed under the condition that the positive pole of the power supply is connected to the plating pen and the negative pole is connected to the workpiece. At the same time, the surface of the chrome plating layer 2 and the filling layer 11 are fully activated, so that the plating remanufacturing layer 21 can be formed, and the repair of the entire chrome plating layer damaged parts is completed.

[0049] The formula and concentration of the brush plating solution are: 260g / L nickel sulfate, 100g / L cobalt sulfate, 20ml / L formic acid, 55g / L acetic acid and 20g / L hydrochloric acid. 20g of aluminum oxide nanoparticles are also added to each liter of brush plating solution. The aluminum oxide nanoparticles are dissolved in distilled water and dispersed using a high-energy mechanochemical method.

[0050] The brush plating method for damaged chrome-plated parts first repairs the substrate 1 and then performs brush plating, which can completely repair the entire damaged area to ensure that the hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the repaired damaged chrome-plated parts meet the requirements.

[0051] Furthermore, the detailed steps of the brush plating method for damaged chrome-plated parts provided in this embodiment are as follows.

[0052] S100: Grind and trim the damaged part of the chrome-plated damaged part so that the total width of the damaged part is at least 3 times the total depth.

[0053] S110: flushing the damaged part with deionized water.

[0054] By this step, the debris remaining from the grinding finishing can be removed, facilitating the subsequent welding operation.

[0055] S200: using argon arc welding to fill the damaged part of the base 1 to form a filling layer 11.

[0056] Optionally, the material of the welding material is the same as that of the base 1, so that the physical and chemical properties of the base 1 and the filling layer 11 are consistent. Further, the welding material and the base 1 are both stainless steel materials, specifically 304 stainless steel wire materials.

[0057] S210: flushing the surface of the filling layer 11 with deionized water.

[0058] By this step, the impurities remaining from the welding can be removed, facilitating the subsequent grinding and polishing.

[0059] S300: grinding and polishing the surface of the filling layer 11.

[0060] S310: flushing the surface of the filling layer 11 and the chrome plating layer 2 with deionized water.

[0061] By this step, the debris and impurities remaining from the grinding and polishing can be removed, facilitating the subsequent activation operation.

[0062] S320: using insulating tape to attach the undamaged part.

[0063] In order to avoid the activation liquid from causing pollution and corrosion to the undamaged part, the insulating tape is used to attach the undamaged part, so that the subsequent activation and brush plating are only performed on the damaged part.

[0064] S400: using an activation liquid to activate the surface of the filling layer 11 and the chrome plating layer 2.

[0065] S410: flushing the surface of the activated filling layer 11 and the chrome plating layer 2 with deionized water.

[0066] By this step, the activation liquid remaining on the surface of the filling layer 11 and the chrome plating layer 2 can be washed away, facilitating the subsequent brush plating operation.

[0067] S500: using a brush plating liquid to brush plate the surface of the filling layer 11 and the chrome plating layer 2.

[0068] In the embodiment, the formula and concentration of the activating solution are: concentrated sulfuric acid 90-100 g / L, ammonium sulfate 90-100 g / L, phosphoric acid 5-7 g / L, and additives 4-6 g / L, the additives being a mixture of fluosilicic acid, thiourea, and sodium dodecyl sulfate. Among them, the additives such as fluosilicic acid, thiourea, and sodium dodecyl sulfate act as corrosion inhibitors to form a good adsorption film on the surface of the chromium plating layer 2 and the filling layer 11, neutralize the severe corrosion of the acidic activating solution in the activation process, and have the effect of inhibiting the generation of acid mist, which can better protect the operators.

Among them, the additives such as fluosilicic acid, thiourea, and sodium dodecyl sulfate act as corrosion inhibitors to form a good adsorption film on the surface of the chromium plating layer 2 and the filling layer 11, neutralize the severe corrosion of the acidic activating solution in the activation process, and have the effect of inhibiting the generation of acid mist, which can better protect the operators.

[0071] Example 2

Among them, the additives such as fluosilicic acid, thiourea, and sodium dodecyl sulfate act as corrosion inhibitors to form a good adsorption film on the surface of the chromium plating layer 2 and the filling layer 11, neutralize the severe corrosion of the acidic activating solution in the activation process, and have the effect of inhibiting the generation of acid mist, which can better protect the operators.

Among them, the additives such as fluosilicic acid, thiourea, and sodium dodecyl sulfate act as corrosion inhibitors to form a good adsorption film on the surface of the chromium plating layer 2 and the filling layer 11, neutralize the severe corrosion of the acidic activating solution in the activation process, and have the effect of inhibiting the generation of acid mist, which can better protect the operators.

[0075] Comparative Example 1

[0076] In this example, damaged chrome-plated parts were repaired using the aforementioned steps. The components and concentrations of the specialized activation solution were: 85 g / L concentrated sulfuric acid, 92 g / L ammonium sulfate, 4 g / L phosphoric acid, and 5 g / L additives. The brush plating solution also contained 260 g / L nickel sulfate, 100 g / L cobalt sulfate, 20 ml / L formic acid, 55 g / L acetic acid, and 20 g / L hydrochloric acid. Each liter of the brush plating solution also contained 20 g of aluminum oxide nanoparticles dissolved in distilled water and dispersed using a high-energy mechanochemical method.

[0077] Referring to industry standards, the above-mentioned Examples 1, 2, 3 and Comparative Example 1 were subjected to file tests, eccentric turning tests and thermal shock tests to verify the bonding strength of the coating. The test results were analyzed and the coating surface was observed using a scanning electron microscope. The results are shown in Table 1.
