A method for preparing
nickel coating on
metal surface relates to
metal plating and provides a method for preparing
nickel coating on the
metal surface. The metal surface goes through oil removal and is placed in a solution tank and plated with
tin coating and then placed in the solution tank; after being plated with
tin, the metal surface is plated with the
nickel coating; the metal plated with the
nickel coating is placed in the solution tank for
passivation treatment, heat preservation,
hydrogen removal from the
nickel coating,
diffusion annealing treatment and
stress relief heat treatment. High interfacial strength single-phase
solid solution is obtained by rapid cooling after adopting thick nickel and
tin coating, adding thin tin coating and
diffusion annealing treatment. Plating bath is not added with a brightening agent while the plating coat is bright and smooth and forms a single-phase
solid solution structure, thus enhancing interface combining power of the plating coat and a base plate. The method makes use of the principle predicted by a binary
phase diagram that tin and nickel are mutually exclusive within a large composition range, so as to lead iron uncoated rate and
copper uncoated rate to tend to be zero under the effect of a tin
diffusion blocking layer, thus the plating coat can keep relatively high
antiseptic property. Other machinery properties are also good; therefore, the
nickel coating prepared by the method of the invention can serve as multifunctional antirust coating.
