Abstract

Technique for deposition of a nickel coating onto various aluminum alloys was developed. This coating can be used both independently and as a sublayer under multilayer coatings and, in particular, under those of nickel, tin–bismuth, lustrous nickel, and lustrous chromium. The technique includes anodization, chemical treatment, and electrodeposition of nickel in a special solution. The working modes of the anodization electrolyte were chosen and the necessity for a preliminary chemical treatment of the oxide film being formed was substantiated. A composition of the acid electrolyte for the subsequent nickel plating was developed with buffer and improving additives. The thus deposited electroplated nickel coatings exhibit a high adhesion to the aluminum base without additional thermal treatment. This makes it possible not only to reduce the technological time for deposition of the subsequent multilayer coatings, but also to fully automate the whole process.
