摘要:
A nickel or cobalt layer is electroplated from a fluoborate bath directly onto a lead or lead alloy or tin or tin alloy sublayer, which has been electroplated onto a metal surface. Microcracked chrome is electroplated over the nickel or cobalt layer. With a nonconductive plastic substrate, the sublayer is electroplated onto a metal film which was deposited on the plastic by an electroless method. The plated product includes a sublayer of about 0.05 to 2 mils lead or lead alloy or tin or tin alloy, a second layer of about 0.05 to 2 mils nickel or cobalt, and an outer layer of about 0.001 to 1 mil chrome.
摘要:
In printed circuit board manufacture, a copper pattern on the board is slightly etched and then a tin/lead layer is plated onto the etched copper pattern. The etching step is free of sulfate materials and includes etching the copper pattern with an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide and fluoboric acid.
