Procédé associé. Grâce à la séparation densitométrique, le métal dissous ne se redépose pas sur la cathode et le rendement global de dissolution est amélioré.
摘要:
There is disclosed a composition suitable for use in a process for electroplating surfaces with tin, comprising: a) one or more acids selected from sulphuric acid, sulphamic acid, aryl sulphonic acids, alkyl sulphonic acids and alkanol sulphonic acids, b) one or more addition agents comprising a mono-, di- or tri-substituted phenol (each optionally alkyoxylated) or a mixture of two or more such compounds, in which at least one of the substituents includes a secondary, tertiary or quaternary nitrogen atom, c) a tin source and d) water. There is also disclosed a method of tin plating using the composition of this invention.
摘要:
A process for plating tin or tin alloy onto metal substrates is described. In the process, a metal substrate is placed in an electroplating bath that contains a stannous sulfate and an organic compound additive in which the organic compound has a heterocyclic moiety in an aqueous solution of sulfonic acid. The bath is then subjected to pulse plating conditions that plate a layer of tin or tin alloy onto the metal substrate wherein the tin in the tin layer has a grain size of about 2 µm to about 8 µm. During pulse plating, a current density of about 65 ASF to about 250 ASF is applied to the electroplating bath in a pulsed manner, i.e. the current is cycled on and off during plating. The duty cycle of the pulse is about twenty-five percent to about thirty percent. The duration of the on pulse during the cycle is about 50 µs to about 500 µs.
