- the unsaturated aliphatic sulfonic acids shownin table I are unusually effective in decreasing the grain size and increasing the luster and brightness of nickel deposited from aqueous acidic: nickel-plating baths, without seriously decreasing the ductility of the plate or the current density range of the nickel bath.
- the compounds of table I are more effective than the aliphatic (four) carbon atom compound: 2-butyne-l,4-disulfonic acid in that they produce brightness and luster with much lower concentrations of material, and are vastly superior to the aliphatic (four) carbon atom compound: 2-butene-l,4-disulfonic acid in producing brightness and luster at any concentration.
- the compounds of table I are also far superior to Z-butene-l-sulfonic acid in producing luster without seriously decreasing the ductility of the plate or causing tensile stresses.
- the iirTs'iifrhtd aliphatic sulfonic acids illustrated in table I are effective not only in the Watts high nickel sulfate concentration baths, but also in high chloride, sulfamate or fluoborate nickel baths or mixtures of these baths and salts.
- concentrations of table l compounds in the nickel baths are not critical, though in general, no further improvements in luster or ductility are obtained with concentrations above about 10 grams per liter.
- the bathsoluble salts of the sulfonic acids of this invention are preferred for easier handling especially the sodium or potassium salts.
- the compounds of table I are, of course, present mainly as the sulfonicacids and their nickel salts even if added to the baths as sodium or potassium salts or for that matter. cobalt, magnesium or other salts.
- the compounds of table 1 may have halogen atoms substituted for some of the hydrogen atoms, with at the most two halogen atoms per molecule.
- the halogen atoms may be on the benzene rings as well as on the aliphatic portion of the molecules.
- a chlorine or bromine atom could replace one or both of the hydrogen atoms on the carbon next to the sulfonic group with improved results in luster of the nickel plate.
- one or two fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine atoms can be present, for example, on the benzene ring of compound of table I with slightly improved results in luster of the nickel deposit. In most cases,
- the best pH range for the acidic nickel-plating baths employing the compounds of table I is from about 2.5 to 5.5.
- the bath temperatures may be from room temperature to at least 180 F., and in this respect, the brighteners of table I used by themselves or with unsaturated compounds, such as a quaternary of pyridine or quinoline, or in conjunction with butynediol or a monoor di-ethylene oxide adduct of butynediol are superior to the well-known brighteners of table ll used alone or with the unsaturated compounds.
- the compound of table [I may be used in amounts of from 0.l g./l. to saturation.
- baths for the production of brilliant nickel plate with bright plate range from the highest current densities down to the very lowest current densities.
- the table l unsaturated aliphatic sulfonic acids of this invention can be used in very high concentrations in the acidic nickel-plating baths, in fact, up to saturation concentrations. which for some of the compounds, for example, compounds I and 2, are over 100 grams/liter. However, no further improvement of luster is obtained in concentrations above about 10 grams/liter, but since the compounds are noncritical in concentration, any concentration up to saturation concentrations can be used, preferably 0.05 to about 100 g./l.
- the compounds of table l are just as effective as brighteners in nickel-cobalt, nickel-iron and nickel-cobalt-iron alloy plating baths.
- the cobalt may be as high as at least 50 percent in the plate and the iron as high as at least 40 percent, and the total of cobalt plus iron may be as high as 50 percent of the plate. With cobalt concentrations in the plate higher than about 50 percent, it is preferred to have compound I of table II also present in the baths.
- cobalt and iron may also be present in the plate to the extent of about 50 percent of the plate as combined material, or as about 50 percent of either cobalt or iron separately, and still obtain bright plate that behaves essentially like bright nickel plate. It is therefore to be understood that the claimed nickel baths cover these nickel alloy plates.
