Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a nickel plating having high corrosion resistance by successively applying the semi-gloss nickel plating, trinickel plating subjected to eutectoid with nonconductive fine particle and gloss nickel plating on a blank material. CONSTITUTION:The semi-gloss nickel plating layer having about >=10mu film thickness is formed on the blank material to be plated by using a known nickel plating bath contg. chloral hydrate, etc., as a glossing agent. The trinickel plating layer of the potential baser than the potential of the bright nickel plating layer is then formed thereon while the nonconductive fine particles are subjected to eutectoid by using the trinickel plating liquid contg. about 0.5 to 50g/l nonconductive fine particles (barium sulfate of about 0.03 to 5mu grain size, etc.). Further, the gloss nickel plating layer is formed thereon so as to attain about <=6mu film thickness in order to impart an ornamental property to the material to be plated. Thus, the nickel plating having the excellent corrosion resistance is applied and the degradation in appearance is obviated when this plating is combined with chrome plating.

In normal nickel-chromium plating, corrosion is prevented by passivating the outermost chromium layer, but it is not possible to completely prevent defects (cracks and bores) in the chrome film, and even if it is possible, However, it is not possible to prevent defects from occurring due to scratches on the plating, so corrosion starts from the defective area, and this corrosion of nickel near the outermost surface causes a noticeable deterioration in the appearance of the plated parts. was.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Among the highly corrosion-resistant nickel plating processes, the microporous chromium or microcrack chromium method creates defects such as micropores and fine racks in the outermost chromium of the plating surface. These methods reduce the corrosion current density and slow the corrosion rate, but they all have the disadvantage that the initially minute corrosion holes become larger over time, resulting in visually noticeable corrosion holes such as so-called "marbling".

On the other hand, the triple nickel (tri-nickel) process is a double nickel process in which a nickel plating layer with a lower potential (bright nickel plating layer) is applied on top of a nickel plating layer with a noble potential (semi-bright nickel plating layer). This is an improved nickel plating between the semi-bright nickel layer and the bright nickel layer, which has a high sulfur content and has a lower potential than the bright nickel layer (hereinafter referred to as "tri-nickel plating").
The tri-nickel plating layer, which has a lower potential, is used as a sacrificial film to protect the bright nickel layer and the substrate from corrosion.

However, this method also has the problem that once the corrosion reaches the tri-nickel plating layer, which is the sacrificial film, the tri-nickel plating layer corrodes quickly, resulting in noticeable large bits. Therefore, it has been desired to develop a nickel plating process that does not deteriorate the plating appearance and has excellent corrosion resistance.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the present inventors have conducted various studies and found that the drawback of the tri-nickel process that large bits occur is that the corrosion current to the tri-nickel plating layer is reduced. I realized that it could be prevented by miniaturizing it. Further research was conducted and it was discovered that the corrosion current could be reduced by incorporating non-conductive fine particles into the tri-nickel plating layer.

In order to obtain higher corrosion resistance, it is preferable to employ the second highly corrosion-resistant tri-nickel plating method of the present invention. In other words, in the first highly corrosion-resistant nickel plating method, the amount of non-conductive fine particles in the tri-nickel plating layer is only about 5% by weight, and the nickel surface has more in terms of surface area. Although it has the effect of dispersing corrosion, there is a limit to preventing the spread of corrosion in layers with a high amount of S. In contrast, in the second highly corrosion-resistant nickel plating method of the present invention, the tri-nickel layer has a two-layer structure consisting of a first layer with a relatively base potential and a second layer with a relatively noble potential,
Moreover, since the first layer is made to contain fine particles to disperse the corrosion current, a higher degree of corrosion resistance can be obtained.

It is known that the potential of the plating film in nickel plating depends on the sulfur content in the plating film.
In order to obtain two tri-nickel plating layers with different potentials as described above, it is necessary to adjust the sulfur content in the tri-nickel film. For this purpose, tri-nickel plating is performed so that the sulfur content of the first layer is approximately 0.12 to 0.25%, and then the sulfur content of the second layer is approximately 0.05 to 0.12%. It is preferable to perform tri-nickel plating.

In order to satisfy the potential conditions between the first layer and the second layer as described in 2, and to make the particles added in the first layer work together, first add non-conductive particles under air agitation. It is necessary to perform tri-nickel plating using the above conditions, and the tri-nickel plating bath that satisfies each of these conditions is the first

In this second tri-nickel plating, air agitation or the like is not necessary, and on the contrary, a static bath is preferable in order to effectively remove non-conductive fine particles drawn in from the first tri-nickel plating. This second tri-nickel bath composition may be approximately the same as the first tri-nickel bath composition, and
The brightening agent may be the same as the first tri-nickel, but a commercially available brightening agent for static tri-nickel such as Trilite (manufactured by Ebara Nishilight) may also be used.
