[0019] The utility model will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings. As shown in Fig. 1 to Figure 3 .
[0020] Embodiment: referring to Fig. 1, a composite electroplating layer comprises: a compatible electroplating layer 2 for electroplating on the surface of a substrate 1, the compatible electroplating layer 2 being one of a gold electroplating layer, a gold-palladium alloy electroplating layer and a gold-cobalt alloy electroplating layer; a main functional electroplating layer 3 electroplated on the surface of the compatible electroplating layer 2, the main functional electroplating layer 3 comprising a nickel-tungsten alloy electroplating layer or a nickel-phosphorus alloy electroplating layer.
[0021] At present, when electroplating a nickel-tungsten alloy plating layer, direct electroplating can generally be performed on the surface of a copper substrate; other materials cannot, therefore the technical solution sets a compatible electroplating layer 2, which needs to have good extensibility and be able to easily adhere to other materials; the compatible electroplating layer 2 can be one of a gold electroplating layer, a gold-palladium alloy electroplating layer and a gold-cobalt alloy electroplating layer. Secondly, when setting the compatible electroplating layer 2, defects on the surface of the substrate 1 can be made up for, and the lower the flatness of the base surface, the greater the internal stress between the two adjacent materials. Nickel-tungsten alloy and nickel-phosphorus alloy have the characteristics of high hardness and high corrosion resistance, therefore electroplating a nickel-tungsten alloy plating layer enables the substrate 1 to have certain wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
[0022] Referring to Fig. 2, further, the surface of the main functional electroplating layer 3 is electroplated with an auxiliary functional electroplating layer 4, the auxiliary functional electroplating layer 4 comprising a platinum electroplating layer or a platinum alloy electroplating layer.
[0023] Preferably, the platinum alloy electroplated layer comprises a platinum-ruthenium alloy electroplated layer or a platinum-palladium alloy electroplated layer.
[0024] Further, the thickness of the main functional electroplated layer 3 or the auxiliary functional electroplated layer 4 is less than 0.5 microns.
[0025] In order to further improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the product, the auxiliary functional electroplated layer 4 is electroplated on the surface of the main functional electroplated layer 3; since there is a certain internal stress conflict between the two, the thickness of the main functional electroplated layer 3 or the auxiliary functional electroplated layer 4 needs to be limited, which is limited to be less than 0.5 microns. Secondly, the auxiliary functional electroplated layer 4 can be a platinum electroplated layer or a platinum alloy electroplated layer. Both the platinum electroplated layer and the platinum alloy electroplated layer have certain wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
[0026] Referring to FIG. 3, further, a compatible electroplated layer 2 is arranged between the main functional electroplated layer 3 and the auxiliary functional electroplated layer 4.
[0027] The compatible electroplated layer 2 is arranged, and the thickness of the main functional electroplated layer 3 and the auxiliary functional electroplated layer 4 can be set to be relatively thick, which can effectively improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the composite electroplated layer.
[0028] Further, the thickness of the compatible electroplated layer 2 is 0.025-2 microns; the thickness of the main functional electroplated layer 3 is 0.125-3 microns; and the thickness of the auxiliary functional electroplated layer 4 is 0.125-3 microns.
[0029] Preferably, the thickness of the main functional electroplated layer 3 is 0.5-1 micron; and the thickness of the auxiliary functional electroplated layer 4 is 0.25-1 micron.
[0030] The compatible electroplated layer 2 is used to connect adjacent functional electroplated layers, and thus the thickness can be slightly smaller. When the temperature difference of the use environment is large, the thickness can be appropriately increased. The thickness of the main functional electroplated layer 3 and the thickness of the auxiliary functional electroplated layer 4 can be selected according to the use environment and the number of uses.
[0031] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the utility model, the specific implementation mode and application range can be changed, and the content of the specification should not be understood as a limitation of the utility model.
