Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent formation of precipitate in a plating bath and electrodeposition of gold to a cathode with a plating in which a cation exchange membrane is interposed between a material to be plated and a cathode by performing plating while feeding an anti-oxidizing agent into the plating bath. CONSTITUTION:Electroplating is accomplished while an anti-oxidizing agent is fed into a plating bath in the stage of performing gold plating with a contactless electroplating device interposed with a cation exchange membrane only on the cathode side. The anti- oxidizing agent is added by the amt. corresponding to quantity of electricity, but in actual operation said agent is continuously supplied by selecting the stroke of a pump for adding the anti-oxidizing agent according to the quantity of electricity so that said agent is added at the specified amt. The difference in the turbidity of the plating bath owing to the addition of the anti-oxidizing agent is measured by changing the quantity of electricity, the amt. of the anti-oxidizing agent to be added, etc. and the relation between the quantity of electricity and the amt. of the anti-oxidizing agent to be added is determined for the above-mentioned purpose. The relation between the amt. of said agent to be added and eventually the quantity of electricity and the stroke of the pump is determined and the operation is performed in accordance with the result thereof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a non-contact electrolytic gold plating method that can prevent gold plating on the cathode surface and prevent the formation of precipitates in the plating bath.

基材上への金メッキ伝として金の錯塩をメッキ浴とする

However, in this method, it was inevitable that gold would also be deposited onto the cathode surface during the plating process. Therefore, expensive money is wasted,
Treatment of the cathode after use was also troublesome.

In order to solve these drawbacks, we proposed a method of plating by interposing a cation exchange membrane at least on the side facing the cathode of the broken plated material (Japanese Patent Application No. 58725/1983), but this method Therefore, it is recognized that if a cation exchange membrane is interposed on both the anode side and the cathode side, there is a risk of gold leakage into the anode chamber and loss of gold. When plating was performed for a long time without intervening and only on the cathode side, anions in the plating bath were decomposed at the anode, and a precipitate was observed to be formed in the plating bath.

The inventor of the present invention spent a summer conducting research to solve these problems, and recognized that the objective could be achieved by interposing a cation exchange membrane only on the cathode side and adding an antioxidant into the plating bath. Thus, the present invention has been achieved. That is, the present invention is a non-contact electroplating method in which a cation exchange membrane is not interposed between the material to be plated and the cathode, and electroplating is performed while an antioxidant is injected into the plating bath.

To this end, we measured the four-degree difference in the plating bath due to the wrinkling of the oxidation preventive agent by changing the amount of electricity and the amount of antioxidant added, and determined the relationship between the amount of antioxidant and the amount of oxidation. By keeping in mind the relationship between the amount of antioxidant added and the pump stroke, and the relationship between the amount of electricity and the pump stroke, the pump stroke can be selected to keep the amount of antioxidant added constant. It is the one that operates.

Conversely, if a large amount of cyanide is added, trivalent cobalt is produced and divalent cobalt decreases, making it difficult to produce gloss, so it is necessary to measure and replenish divalent cobalt. Furthermore, since trivalent gold may increase,
If a large number of analyzes are performed, removal using an ion exchange resin is necessary.The present invention can be applied to all non-contact electrolytic gold plating methods that use a gold complex as a plating bath, It is also possible to adjust the amount of antioxidant added while measuring the CN concentration using a method.
