摘要:
A composite material includes a structural carrier layer and a relatively thin metal foil layer separated by a release layer. The release layer, that may be an admixture of a metal such as nickel or chromium and a non-metal such as chromium oxide, nickel oxide, chromium phosphate or nickel phosphate, provides a peel strength for the metal foil layer from the carrier strip that is typically on the order of 0.1 pound per inch to 2 pounds per inch. This provides sufficient adhesion to prevent premature separation of the metal foil layer from the carrier layer, but easy removal of the carrier layer when desired. Typically, the metal foil layer is subsequently bonded to a dielectric and the carrier layer then removed. The metal foil layer is then imaged into circuit features in the manufacture of printed circuit boards and flexible circuits.

The invention provides a pretreatment process for electroplating aluminum parts or strip, in which the zincating solution is modified to improve the adhesion of the subsequent electroplate to the substrate. The aluminum part or strip, such as an aluminum coin blank or strip for coin blanks, is pretreated with an improved zincate solution which provides hydroxide ions in an amount in the range of 75-175 gpl, zinc ions in an amount in the range of 15-40 gpl, nickel ions in an amount in the range of 2-10 gpl and copper ions in an amount in the range of 1.5-5 gpl. The pretreatment process preferably includes a copper strike applied from a copper cyanide strike bath at a pH in the range of 8.5-11.0, using a current density in the range of 0.1-10 A/dm2. The pretreatment and electroplating steps arc preferably conducted by barrel plating, in accordance with another aspect of the invention. The invention also provides electroplated aluminum parts or strip, such as electroplated coin blanks, including a substrate formed from aluminum or an aluminum alloy and having multiple surfaces, a layer of zincate on at least one of the surfaces of the substrate and preferably completely encasing the substrate, a strike layer of a strike metal covering the layer of zincate, and one or more electroplated layers of one or more metals covering the strike layer, said one or more electroplated layers adhering to the substrate to withstand a deformation process without delamination from the substrate.

A process for chrome plating a non-ferrous object includes copper plating the non-ferrous object which has had burrs and surface irregularities removed. The surface of the copper plated object is smoothed, and copper plate irregularities removed, by moving dry abrasive media over the object for a pre-determined period of time. Typically, this is done by placing the copper plated object into a finishing machine having dry abrasive media therein. The object is then chrome plated.

A method of forming a surface finish of trivalent chromium on metal or plastics substrates by electrodeposition from an aqueous plating solution of trivalent chromium ions in which the trivalent chromium is deposited on a layer of silver or silver alloy whereby the color and/or corrosion resistance of the trivalent chromium is comparable to surface finishes of hexavalent chromium. The invention avoids the health and safety risks associated with the electrodeposition of hexavalent chromium surface finishes.

An object of the invention is to provide a surface-treated copper foil capable of consistently attaining a percent loss in resistance against hydrochloric acid degradation of 10% or less as measured on a copper pattern prepared from the copper foil and having a line width of 0.2 mm, by bringing out the maximum effect of the silane coupling agent employed in copper foil coated with an anti-corrosive layer formed of a zinc-copper-nickel ternary alloy. Another object is to impart excellent moisture resistance to the surface-treated copper foil. In order to attain these objects, the invention provides a surface-treated copper foil for producing printed wiring boards whose surface has been subjected to nodular treatment and anti-corrosion treatment, wherein the anti-corrosion treatment includes forming a zinc-copper-nickel ternary alloy anti-corrosive plating layer on a surface of the copper foil; forming an electrolytic chromate layer on the anti-corrosive plating layer; forming a silane-coupling-agent-adsorbed layer on the electrolytic chromate layer; and drying the copper foil for 2-6 seconds such that the copper foil reaches 105null C.-200null C.

Provided are a method of manufacturing a rare-earth magnet with superior corrosion resistance, and a plating bath used for the method. A first protective film including nickel and a second protective film including nickel and sulfur are laminated in order on a magnet body including a rare-earth element. The first protective film is formed through electroplating with a first plating bath including a nickel source, a conductive salt and a pH stabilizer, and having a concentration of the nickel source of 0.3 mol/l to 0.7 mol/l on a nickel atom basis and a conductivity of 80 mS/cm or over. Thereby, a rare-earth-rich phase can be prevented from being leached out, and the production of pinholes can be reduced. Therefore, the corrosion resistance of the rare-earth magnet can be improved.

A process for electrodepositing a low stress nickel-manganese multilayer alloy on an electrically conductive substrate is provided. The process includes the steps of immersing the substrate in an electrodeposition solution containing a nickel salt and a manganese salt and repeatedly passing an electric current through an immersed surface of the substrate. The electric current is alternately pulsed for predetermined durations between a first electrical current that is effective to electrodeposit nickel and a second electrical current that is effective to electrodeposit nickel and manganese. A multilayered alloy having adjacent layers of nickel and a nickel-manganese alloy on the immersed surface of the substrate is thereby produced. The resulting multilayered alloy exhibits low internal stress, high strength and ductility, and high strength retention upon exposure to heat.
