[0018] In order to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art, the following embodiments and accompanying drawings are provided. Figure 1 To further illustrate the present invention, the contents mentioned in the implementation manner are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, a corrosion-resistant composite coating includes a first nickel coating 11, a second nickel coating 12, a gold coating 13, a platinum coating 14 and a tin-nickel alloy coating 15 arranged in sequence from bottom to top; the first nickel coating 11 is a nano nickel coating.
[0020] The corrosion-resistant composite coating of the present invention is a tin-nickel-platinum-plated corrosion-resistant composite coating. The composite coating comprises a first nickel coating 11, a second nickel coating 12, a gold coating 13, a platinum coating 14, and a tin-nickel alloy coating 15, sequentially disposed on the surface of a substrate 16. The first nickel coating 11 is a nano-nickel coating, which increases the density of the composite coating. The second nickel coating 12 is a conventional nickel coating, which increases the thickness of the composite coating and reduces porosity. The gold coating 13 enhances the bonding between the platinum coating 14 and the second nickel coating 12. The platinum coating 14 enhances the product's resistance to electrolytic corrosion caused by sweat. The tin-nickel alloy coating 15 enhances the product's resistance to salt spray and sweat encapsulation. Through the aforementioned coating combination, the present invention effectively enhances the product's resistance to salt spray, sweat encapsulation, and sweat electrolytic corrosion, extending the product's service life and improving its environmental reliability.
[0021] Furthermore, the thickness of the first nickel plating layer 11 is 0.5-1.0 μm. In this embodiment, the first nickel plating layer 11 is configured as a nano-nickel plating layer. The nano-nickel plating layer reduces metal nickel ions into nanoparticles through an electrochemical reaction and deposits them on the surface of the object, thereby improving the hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of the surface of the substrate 16. By using a nano-nickel plating layer of the above thickness, it is helpful to increase the density of the combined plating layer while taking into account production costs.
[0022] Furthermore, the thickness of the second nickel plating layer 12 is not less than 2.0 μm. Furthermore, the thickness of the second nickel plating layer 12 is 2.0-5.0 μm. The second nickel plating layer 12 is a common nickel plating layer, which helps to increase the thickness of the combined plating layer, reduce porosity, and reduce the production cost of the combined plating layer.
[0023] Furthermore, the thickness of the gold plating layer 13 is not less than 0.075 μm. Furthermore, the thickness of the gold plating layer 13 is 0.075-2.0 μm.
[0024] Furthermore, the thickness of the platinum-gold coating 14 is not less than 0.25 μm. Furthermore, the thickness of the platinum-gold coating 14 is 0.25-3.0 μm.
[0025] Furthermore, the thickness of the tin-nickel alloy plating layer 15 is not less than 0.25 μm. Furthermore, the thickness of the tin-nickel alloy plating layer 15 is 0.25-3.0 μm.
[0026] This embodiment, by designing the thickness of each layer in the electroplated coating, helps reduce costs and control the quality of the combined coating, preventing individual layers from being too thin, resulting in substandard performance, and preventing individual layers from being too thick, resulting in excessively high costs. By employing the aforementioned combination of layer thicknesses, this embodiment can achieve a combined coating with excellent corrosion resistance and overall performance.
[0027] Furthermore, the thickness of the first nickel plating layer 11 is 0.5-1.0 μm. In this embodiment, the first nickel plating layer 11 is configured as a nano-nickel plating layer. The nano-nickel plating layer reduces metal nickel ions into nanoparticles through an electrochemical reaction and deposits them on the surface of the object, thereby improving the hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of the surface of the substrate 16. By using a nano-nickel plating layer of the above thickness, it is helpful to increase the density of the combined plating layer while taking into account production costs.
[0028] More preferably, the thickness of the second nickel plating layer 12 is not less than 2.0 μm. Furthermore, the thickness of the second nickel plating layer 12 is 2.0-5.0 μm.
[0029] Furthermore, the thickness of the gold plating layer 13 is not less than 0.075 μm. Furthermore, the thickness of the gold plating layer 13 is 0.075-2.0 μm.
[0030] Furthermore, the thickness of the platinum-gold coating 14 is not less than 0.25 μm. Furthermore, the thickness of the platinum-gold coating 14 is 0.25-3.0 μm.
[0031] Furthermore, the thickness of the tin-nickel alloy plating layer 15 is not less than 0.25 μm. Furthermore, the thickness of the tin-nickel alloy plating layer 15 is 0.25-3.0 μm.

[0033] This embodiment employs the aforementioned corrosion-resistant combined coating and has been successfully used on stainless steel headphone shrapnel. The corrosion-resistant combined coating of this embodiment was electroplated onto the surface of the headphone shrapnel and subjected to corrosion resistance testing. According to GB / T 2423.17-2008, the coating remained intact after 128 hours of salt spray exposure. It also remained intact after 128 hours of sweat exposure, and the sweat electrolysis test, at 5V / 5min, demonstrated excellent corrosion resistance. All tests met market requirements.
