In plating production using nickel sulfamate additives, high brittleness of the plated layer is a common problem, which is directly related to the quality and performance of the plated layer. How to solve it? Let's analyze it.
The high brittleness of the plated layer may originate from a variety of factors, such as improper plating solution composition and improper control of process parameters. Especially when the brightener is too much or the nickel chloride concentration is too high, the brittleness of the plated layer will be increased significantly. This is because excessive brightener can lead to changes in the structure of the plated layer, while high concentrations of nickel chloride may trigger stress concentrations within the plated layer.
In order to reduce the brittleness of the plated layer, we can start by adjusting the composition of the plating solution. Bigely nickel sulfamate additive Ni-1000 performs well in this regard. This additive not only achieves semi-bright, low-stress, ductile nickel plating, but also enables plating at higher current densities and higher plating speeds. It is formulated to control stress levels within the layer, resulting in a uniform and ductile layer with low porosity.
