When using electroless nickel plating solution for production, it is necessary to analyze the plating solution regularly. What is the reason for the rapid consumption of nickel ions in the plating solution?

Based on on-site experience and product characteristics, Bigely Technology has conducted the following analysis:

1. When a chemical nickel layer is deposited on the groove wall or equipment, the deposited chemical nickel layer will continue to deposit chemical nickel, resulting in rapid consumption of nickel ions. In this case, the electroless nickel plating solution should be filtered and transferred to a tank, and the chemical nickel deposited in the plating tank or equipment should be soaked in a 1:1 nitric acid solution. After soaking and cleaning the plating tank, pour the plating solution back into the plating tank. After analysis, supplement the chemical nickel concentration solution to produce.

2. Excessive load on the plating solution, fast deposition rate, and rapid consumption of nickel ions can also affect the service life of the chemical nickel plating solution. The loading capacity of the coating should be reduced.

3. The loss of electroless nickel plating solution is significant. In this situation, the production process should be checked, the product outlet speed should be improved, and efforts should be made to remove the plating droplets from the workpiece or drum before transferring them to the cleaning tank.

4. Decomposition of plating solution. This situation is often caused by the presence of suspended nickel particles in the plating solution after a period of use. Deal with the filtration and transfer of electroless nickel plating solution, analyze and adjust the plating solution, and in severe cases, directly scrap the plating solution.

The above are the main reasons for the rapid consumption of nickel ions in the plating solution during the production process using electroless nickel plating.
