The influence of plating solution composition and process conditions when using nickel plating additives

2025-11-18 08:30:58

Bright nickel plating has developed the characteristics of "three highs and one low" in operation, namely high concentration, high temperature, high current density and low pH value. So why control it in this way? In this issue's article, we will introduce it so that electroplating plants can better use nickel plating additives.

When the concentration of nickel sulfate in the plating solution is high, its electrical conductivity is better, the range of process conditions will be wider, allowing operators to use a higher current density, which is conducive to improving the following three aspects:

① Deposition rate

② The brightness of the coating

③ Coating leveling property

However, it will also bring some problems, such as poor uniformity of the plating solution, high cost and large carry-out loss. Therefore, its concentration needs to be well controlled under the guidance of an electroplating engineer.
