摘要:
Pulse reverse electrolysis of acid copper solutions is used for applying copper deposits of a controlled hardness for applications such as producing printing cylinders. The benefits include improved production capacity. Hardness of the deposit is controlled by varying at least one factor selected from the group consisting of (i) cathodic pulse time, (ii) anodic pulse time, (iii) cathodic pulse current density, and (iv) anodic pulse current density. Preferably the ratio of cathodic pulse time to anodic pulse tim is varied. The figure illustrates variation of deposit hardness with reverse (anodic) pulse time.
摘要:
A plating process for plating chromium metal onto substrates is disclosed. The process uses a trivalent chromium plating bath with a sulfate and/or sulfonate matrix. The process also utilizes insoluble anodes. An addition of manganese ions to the plating bath inhibits the formation of detrimental hexavalent chromium ions upon use of the plating bath.

Pulse reverse electrolysis of acid copper solutions is used for applying copper to printing cylinders, especially gravure printing cylinders. The plating composition generally comprising copper ions, counter ions, chloride ions, a polyalkylene glycol, and a bath-soluble divalent sulfur compound. The benefits include an improved thickness distribution of the copper electrodeposited on the plated article, reduced metal waste, reduced plating times and increased production capacity.

The present invention relates to the electrodeposition of zinc nickel alloy on a variety of electrically conducting substrates in a medium which seeks to provide improved deposit distribution and operable current density range. This is achieved through a bath comprising zinc ions, nickel metal ions, and a suitable combination of one or more urea based polymers and non-polymeric complexing agents capable of holding nickel metal ions in alkaline solution and an electrolytic process whereby the bath is used to electrodeposit zinc nickel alloy on electrically conducting substrates.

The present invention is directed to an improved copper plating bath for depositing a copper layer onto a printing cylinder, the copper plating bath comprising: (a) a source, of copper ions; (b) a source of methane sulphonate ions; (c) a source of chloride ions; (d)an organosulphur compound having the formula R-S-R' -SO3'X+ or X+-O3S-R'S-R-S-R' -SO3- X+, wherein R is alkyl, hydroxyalkyl or alkyl ether, R' is a C2-C4 alkyl group, and X+ is a cation; and (e) a polyether compound and method of using the same. The copper plating bath produces a plating deposit that has a stable hardness and is free from self-annealing during high speed plating.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for depositing an adherent zinc coating onto a zinc-containing magnesium alloy substrate in order to render the surface suitable for electroplating. The coatings are applied from a pyrophosphate-based zinc electrolyte solution containing a small quantity of fluoride ions. Depending on the zinc and aluminum content of the magnesium alloy, the zinc electrolyte solution is applied by immersion deposition or electrolytically.
