The service life of electroless nickel plating solution is largely affected by a number of factors, such as the type of plating solution, working conditions, coating quality requirements, and the maintenance and management of plating solution. The service life of the electroless plating solution can range from a few months to a year or even longer. The following are some key factors that affect the service life of electroless nickel plating solution:
1. The formula of the plating solution: the concentration and proportion of different chemical raw materials will affect the stability and working performance of the plating solution.
2. Production capacity: High production capacity will consume the active ingredients in the bath more frequently, which may lead to shorter service life of the plating solution.
3. Coating thickness: Thicker coating means that more metal ions are consumed, which will also reduce the service life of electroless nickel plating solution.
4. Maintenance and management: By regularly analyzing and restoring the concentration of key components in the bath, removing accumulated impurities, the service life of the bath can be significantly extended.
5, impurity control: oil, organic solvents, metal impurities, excessive oxidation, etc., will reduce the performance of the bath, and then affect the service life.
In order to maintain the performance of the bath and extend its service life, regular bath management and maintenance is essential. This includes adjusting pH, replenishing consumed chemicals (such as metal ions, complexing agents, reducing agents, etc.), and removing contaminants that inevitably enter the plating solution.
In addition, strict control of process parameters, such as temperature, stirring intensity and filtration effect, is also an important factor to ensure the stability of the bath and extend the service life. If you want to ensure the service life of the plating solution, you can use Bigely electroless nickel plating solution Ni-809, which not only has a certain service cycle (can use 10-12 cycles), but also the plating speed is fast (14-22μm/h), the technical services provided are in place, and so on.
