Reasons and solutions for white spots on the plated layer when using nickel plating brightener

In the nickel plating process, white spots on the plated layer is a relatively common problem, which not only affects the aesthetics of the plated layer, but also may reduce its corrosion resistance and overall quality. As a R&D and sales engineer for nickel plating brighteners, I will delve into the causes of this phenomenon and introduce why Bigely nickel plating brightener Ni-301 can solve this problem.

One of the main reasons for white spots on the plated layer is the presence of rust or oxidized layers on the workpiece before plating. These rust or oxidized layers are cleaned off in the pickling process before plating, but they leave microscopic irregular pits on the surface of the workpiece. Since it is difficult to fill these pits completely during the plating process, white spots appear in these pits after the plating layer is formed.

Solutions and advantages of Bigely nickel plating brightener Ni-301

Bigely nickel plating brightener Ni-301 is formulated with good raw materials and has the advantages of fast light output, soft and white plated layer, good dispersing ability and covering ability. What's more, Ni-301 has high tolerance to metal impurities, especially good tolerance to common impurities such as copper and iron. This reduces the frequency of treatment of plating solution, lowers the production failure rate, and makes the use of brightener more labor-saving.
