Product information "Nickel Strike"

The new nickel strike from Betzmann Galvanik makes steels and stainless steels suitable for electroplating.

Nickel-strike or the so-called "nickel-on-nickel" was already used as an electrolyte in the 19th century. Today, nickel strike is indispensable in electroplating to prepare high-alloy stainless steels and steels for electroplating. This is because the oxides present on the surface of high-alloy metals impair the adhesive strength of the coating applied by means of bath electroplating or pin electroplating / pad electroplating. Therefore, the pretreatment with the impact nickel / nickel strike is necessary.

This is how the Nickel-Strike from Betzmann Galvanik works:

Pretreatment with Nickel-Strike prepares the surface for subsequent coatings. This is suitable for galvanic and electroless treatment. It etches the surface of the workpiece, dissolves contained chromium and creates a base layer of nickel in the course of this reaction. This micro-thin nickel layer of 0.5 - 1 µm now forms a reliably strong adhesive base for further coatings.

Ideally, you apply an intermediate layer after the treatment with impact nickel and before the final coating of the workpiece. This consists of copper or electroless or electroplated nickel. Whether the coating is applied by the bath electroplating or pin electroplating / pad electroplating processes is not relevant.

Areas of application for nickel strike

The nickel strike process covers a very wide range of applications. In addition to the pretreatment of high-alloy steels and stainless steels, a wide variety of non-ferrous metal alloys also require this pretreatment. These include, above all, alloys with silicon, magnesium, manganese, lead, tungsten or titanium.

Already nickel-plated objects that are exposed to air over a longer period of time lose the typical properties of the coating. These are then so-called passivated nickel layers, which a dip in Nickel-Strike reactivates.

Nickel-Strike for galvanic and electroless application

Nickel-strike is suitable for all electroplating processes from bath electroplating to pin electroplating / pad electroplating as well as for the electroless process.

Fields of application:

Stainless steel

Nickel

Before use:

Completely remove grease and oil especially thoroughly by using alcohol. Please remove dirt and rust with appropriate tools. Only handle the object with disposable gloves and in this way reliably prevent the transfer of skin grease to the surface.

Electroplating process (with power supply):

Anode bath electroplating: Graphite, nickel or platinum anodes.

Anode pin electroplating / pad electroplating: Graphite, nickel or platinum anodes, alternatively stainless steel anodes possible.

Parameters (these may vary, please test):

Bath electroplating: 1.5-4.5V (approx. 2.5-3V recommended at 10cm distance)

pin plating: 2,5-5V (approx. 3V recommended)

Current density: 8.5-25A/dm² (up to 50A/dm² with bath movement)

Working temperature: 20-50°C

Deposition rate: approx. 0.03µm/min at 10A/dm² and 20°C

pH value: 1

Attention:

for stainless steel: anode on positive pole - workpiece on negative pole

for nickel: anode on negative pole - workpiece on positive pole

Treat the workpiece with the pin plating or immersion process for about 10 to 60 seconds. Rinse the workpiece briefly afterwards. Immediately continue processing objects made of aluminum to prevent renewed oxidation.

Currentless process (without power supply):

Place the electrolyte in a suitable vessel and heat the impact nickel to a temperature of 35 - 50°C. Now place the object to be coated in the immersion bath for 0.5 - 3 minutes and finally rinse briefly. Please immerse aluminum objects at room temperature for a maximum of 0.5 - 1 minute!

Optionally, use the stop tickel tempered to room temperature. In this case, however, take into account the longer dwell time in the immersion bath.

To prevent renewed oxidation, objects treated with Nickelstrike should be further processed within 10 - 30 minutes. In the case of aluminum, immediate further processing is required.

Caution: Always use gloves and protective goggles and do not inhale the fumes / aerosols. Use only in well ventilated areas!

Palladium 2 Gramm / Liter

Palladium electrolyte with 2 Gram per Liter from Betzmann Galvanik - as nickel substitute - barrier layer or as hard decorative top layer! Palladium electrolyte - The allergen-free alternative to nickel! Palladinizing or plating with palladium is a rather rarely used galvanic coating. However, palladium plating can offer some advantages, especially as a substitute for galvanic nickel plating with a nickel electrolyte. The advantages of palladium electrolyte compared to electroless nickel plating: Typically, a nickel electrolyte is used to apply a barrier layer of nickel between copper and gold, preventing the two metals from mixing. However, a palladium plating offers several distinct advantages over the nickel electrolyte: Palladium is more noble than nickel, meaning there is no surface corrosion, and the palladium does NOT require extra activation prior to gold plating as nickel does. The deposition rate and efficiency are excellent, i.e. there is no unwanted gas evolution. The electrolyte deposits silvery white, very bright palladium which can be used as a bright "finish". Gold plating with the Betzmann gold electrolyte for pin electroplating achieves an optimum result on palladium. In contrast to nickel electrolyte, palladium is not carcinogenic and is therefore also permitted for private users! A very good combination for gold plating of almost all metals is: Alkaline or acid copper depending on the metal, palladium and finally gold. All necessary electrolytes are available in our store. Palladium can be plated on the following metals: Copper, nickel, brass, silver, gold, on all dechromed surfaces. Recommended voltages: Pin electroplating: from 3 volts - Bath electroplating: 3 - 4 volts. Recommended is graphite electrode or platinum electrode from our store. Palladium content: 2 grams per liter Main benefits; Makes a great alternative to rhodium plating giving an authentic 18 carat white gold or platinum plated look. palladium plating solution (unlike rhodium) doesn’t etch materials made of calcium carbonate such as pearl and coral, so you won’t have to worry about masking out these materials before submerging them in your palladium plating bath. can be used as a substitute for nickel as a barrier layer for gold plating on copper and its alloys. can be used as an alternative to silver as it doesn’t tarnish and is hard-wearing. Very low porosity – excellent for corrosion protection. Readily wettable by solder and dissolves a lot more slowly than gold in the solder making it an excellent top coat over gold for electrical contacts.
