Abstract

PURPOSE:To uniformly form a plating film on the surface of electrically conductive fine powder such as fine metal or carbon powder by bringing the powder into contact with the cathode in a plating soln. and supplying electric current while intermittently stirring the powder. CONSTITUTION:A Cu plate as the cathode is fixed on the bottom of a vessel fitted with a stirrer and an Ni plating soln. and large amt. of spherical fine Cu powder surface-pretreated with dil. hydrochloric acid are charged to the vessel. Electric current is supplied between the cathode and an Ni plate as the anode while intermittently stirring the powder for 15 sec at 15 sec intervals. The surface of the fine Cu powder is electroplated with Ni in a uniform thickness.

As a metal plating method for S-conductive fine powder, a method using electroless plating is known. However, this method is expensive because it uses an electroless plating solution, and especially in the case of fine metal powder, the combinations of the metal to be plated and the coating metal are limited, and there are limitations such as direct plating only. receive.

However, at present, there is no practically known method that utilizes electroplating that does not involve electroless plating (this invention attempts to solve the problem!lIl!!) As a method of metal plating conductive fine powder, there is a method using electroplating. Although this is not known in practice, the barrel coating method is known when plating relatively small products.

However, even if the barrel plating equipment is used as is, conductive fine powder cannot be plated efficiently.The reason for this is that when the barrel is rotated or moved, the conductive fine powder flows turbulently. This is thought to be because electricity does not flow through the conductive fine powder being plated.

If the rotation of the barrel is slowed down to avoid this, the conductive fine powder will not be stirred well, so only the surface layer will be plated and the inner surface will not be plated.
