Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of composite chemical nickel plating, in particular to a device capable of performing composite chemical nickel plating with a long service life. Background Art

[0002] Chemical plating is also called electroless plating or autocatalytic plating. The specific process refers to the process in which metal ions in an aqueous solution are reduced by a reducing agent and precipitated onto the surface of a solid substrate under certain conditions. This process is different from displacement plating in that the coating can be continuously thickened, and the plated metal itself also has catalytic ability.

[0003] The existing composite chemical plating is an advanced surface treatment technology that disperses special-purpose solid particles into the chemical nickel plating liquid. However, when solid particles are added, the smaller the size, the larger the surface area of ​​the particles, which greatly increases the activity of the chemical nickel plating working solution, resulting in instability of the chemical nickel plating working solution. In severe cases, it will directly lead to the decomposition of the working solution and the working solution will be scrapped. At the same time, when the working solution is generally stirred, more continuous crystals will be produced, and the coating will be relatively loose. Even if a surfactant is added, the dispersion effect is not obvious. Utility Model Content
