Bright nickel plating is an important surface treatment process, widely used in electronics, electrical appliances, automotive parts and other fields. The stability of bright nickel plating solution is the key to ensure the quality of plating. However, in practice, bright nickel plating solution often appears unstable phenomenon, resulting in poor plating quality, and even shorten the service life. In this article, we will analyze the reasons for the instability of bright nickel plating solutions from several main angles, and introduce how to use Bigely bright nickel plating brightener Ni-301 to cope with these problems.
First of all, bright nickel plating solution has a complex composition, including nickel salt, organic additives, corrosion inhibitors and brightener, etc. All these components undergo complex chemical and electrochemical reactions during the plating process. Especially the brightener, its addition and quality directly affect the gloss and uniformity of the plated layer. In actual production, the decomposition products of brightener will gradually accumulate, and these impurities will seriously affect the stability of the solution once they reach a certain concentration.
Secondly, the impurities in the plating solution come from a wide range of sources, mainly including oil on the plated parts, dust in the air, and metal ions precipitated during electrolysis. Impurities can cause defects such as roughness, holes and discoloration in the plating layer. In order to prevent the accumulation of impurities, regular filtration and purification of the plating solution is required.
Electrolysis is one of the effective means of removing impurities from solution, and harmful metal ions in solution can be effectively removed by selective electrolytic deposition. However, this method requires the control of electrolysis conditions, is complicated to operate, and can only remove some metal impurities, and is less effective in removing organic impurities.
The use of Bigely nickel plating brightener Ni-301 improves the stability of the plating solution, as it contains imported raw materials and maintains a stable chemistry during the plating process, making it less likely to decompose and form impurities. In addition, Ni-301 can work together with other components in the solution to enhance the brightness and uniformity of the plated layer and prolong the service life of the plating solution.
In summary, the instability of bright nickel plating solution is mainly caused by the decomposition of brightener, impurity accumulation and other factors. The stability of the plating solution can be effectively improved through reasonable maintenance and management means, such as reasonable addition of brightener, regular filtration and purification. And the use of Bigely rack nickel plating brightener Ni-301 can improve the quality of plating layer and production efficiency.
