Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to metal electroplating field, concretely relates to a kind of zinc plating on the cyanide-free copper zinc alloy bottom plating layer plating layer structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] Potassium chloride zinc plating is widely used for its bright plating, high current efficiency, simple plating solution composition and easy maintenance. The third generation of potassium chloride zinc plating has reached or even surpassed the performance of cyanide-free alkaline zinc plating [1] , and its market share is increasing year by year.
[0003] The potassium chloride zinc plating layer has a better appearance after trivalent chromium olive green passivation, but the gloss of this plating layer is easy to darken.
[0004] The trivalent chromium passivation film is thin and does not have self-repairing property [2] , and it is easy to wear and scratch. When the passivation film is damaged, the zinc plating layer will be corroded by corrosive media.
[0005] The traditional process flow of aluminum alloy part zinc plating usually includes sequentially preparing a chemical zinc deposition layer, an acidic zinc plating layer and a trivalent chromium passivation film on the aluminum alloy substrate. The electrode potential of metallic zinc is positive to that of metallic aluminum, and the potential difference is large. The zinc plating layer on the aluminum alloy part is a cathodic plating layer, which does not have electrochemical protection effect on the substrate. This plating layer structure has low corrosion resistance.
[0006] The sealing layer prepared by the latest developed hydroxyl graphene modified sealing agent has self-repairing property [3] , and the sealing of the zinc plating layer passivated by trivalent chromium solves the problem of the trivalent chromium passivation film not having self-repairing property.
