摘要:
For the purpose of simplifying the processing of a bath a method for depositing a coating of a first metal onto a workpiece 12 which exposes a second metal is proposed which method comprises the following method steps: a) providing a bath liquid 16 containing bath components containing ions of the first metal to be deposited, at least one complexing agent for the second metal and at least one acid, b) depositing the coating of the first metal from the bath liquid 16 onto the workpiece 12, c) feeding the bath liquid 16 into a settling tank 18, d) cooling the bath liquid 16 in the settling tank 18 for the generation of a precipitate and of a filtrate, the precipitate being comprised of the second metal and the at least one complexing agent, f) returning the filtrate to the bath liquid 16 and g) replenishing bath components to the bath liquid 16. The method in accordance with the invention is characterised in that with respect to the separation of the precipitate from the filtrate a pressure difference is generated by the filter.

To provide a method of regenerating plating solution by removing impurities from electroless tin plating solution, especially by reducing the copper concentration, as well as a plating method using this. Impurities are removed from plating solution by generating precipitate through the addition of benzenesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid hydrate or salts thereof to electroless tin plating solution comprising thiourea or thiourea compounds.

A method of extending the lifetime of an electroless nickel plating bath by avoiding the addition of unwanted anions to the process and of improving the pH stability of the bath and minimizing additions of pH correcting additives. The method includes the steps of (a) depositing electroless nickel from an electroless nickel plating bath onto a substrate, wherein the electroless nickel plating bath preferably contains a source of nickel ions and a source of hypophosphite ions; (2) immersing a nickel anode in the plating bath; (3) completing the circuit by utilizing a cathode separated from the nickel bath by an ion exchange membrane and using a catholyte comprising an acid or a salt thereof; and (4) passing a current through the bath. Nickel is dissolved into the plating bath to maintain the nickel concentration and hydrogen is discharged from the cathode.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for coating substrate surfaces with a metal or oxide layer in a coating bath. Said bath has at least one component the concentration of which changes during the coating process and which therefore has to be replenished or removed in order to maintain the quality of the bath. The method according to the invention is characterized in that the component is replenished and/or removed depending on the strength of the composition of the bath.
