A Process for Alkaline Non-cyanide Silver Plating for Direct Plating on Copper, Copper Alloys and Nickel Without a Silver Strike Bath
Traditionally, silver is electroplated in toxic, cyanide-based chemistry. Due to cyanide’s extreme hazard to human health and environments, developing non-cyanide silver chemistry is essential for the silver electroplating industry. Discussed here is an aqueous, alkaline non-cyanide silver plating technology, which can be directly plated over nickel as well as copper and its alloys. The silver deposits have perfect white color and better anti-tarnishing properties than other non-cyanide silver processes. The silver is plated entirely from the dissolving silver anode and the bath is very stable, and maintains a stable pH level both during plating and idle time. This new non-cyanide silver technology will plate bright silver that is perfectly suitable for electronic, industrial and decorative applications.
