摘要:
A tin, lead or tin-lead alloy plating bath, which comprises(A) a principal plating bath containing an alkanesulfonic or alkanolsulfonic acid, and either a divalent tin salt or a divalent lead salt thereof or both;(B) at least one of surfactants comprising(a) a cationic surfactant selected from the group consisting of quarternary ammonium salts, alkyl pyridinium salts, alkyl imidazolinium salts and higher alkyl amine salts,(b) an amphoteric surfactant selected from betaines, or(c) a nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of condensation products of ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide with a styrenated phenol, a higher alcohol, an alkylphenol, an alkylnaphthol, a fatty acid amide, a sorbitan or a phosphate; and(C) at least one of levelling agents selected from the group consisting of alkylidene sulfamic acids, quinolinol derivatives, benzotriazole derivatives, dialkylidene o-phenylene diamines, benzaldehyde derivatives, triazine derivatives, salicylic acid derivatives and nitriles.
摘要:
A plating bath for electrodepositing tin and/or lead contains stannous ion, lead ion, or a mixture thereof, together with a fluoborate, fluosilicate and/or sulfamate electrolyte and a polyoxyalkylated fatty acid alkylolamide surfactant. The bath operates at pH values of less than about 3.0, and very desirable deposits are produced over wide ranges of current densities and under a variety of plating conditions.
摘要:
In accordance with the invention, the volatility of a solder plating bath with volatile brighteners such as aldehydes has its volatility reduced by the addition of diols to the bath. The diols are advantageously 1,3 propanediol or 1,2 propanediol and are accompanied by lower molecular weight alcohols. In a preferred embodiment, a diol along with low alcohol is added to a bath comprising sulfonic acid, surfactant, grain refiner and brightening agents comprising an aromatic aldehyde and a carboxylic acid.
摘要:
Baths and methods for electroplating tin or tin-lead alloys wherein the formation of tetravalent tin and stannic oxide sludge is reduced or prevented. These baths contain a soluble divalent tin compound, a soluble alkyl or alkylol sulfonic acid at least one wetting agent, and a hydroxyl phenyl compound reducing agent. Other compounds may be added to the bath for improving its performance during electroplating.
