Bath Preparation
- Fill the tank with approximately 70% water and heat to 70-80°C
- Add boric acid (H₃BO₃) and stir until thoroughly dissolved
-
Add measured nickel sulfate (NiSO₄·7H₂O) and nickel chloride (NiCl₂·6H₂O), stirring until completely dissolved
- Then add water to the required volume
- Add 1-2 ml/L H₂O₂ (30%) after dilution and stir for 2 hours
- Add nickel carbonate or 4% sodium hydroxide solution and adjust pH to 5.2
- Add 3-5 g/L activated carbon powder, stir the bath, and filter after standing for 3-5 hours
- Add diluted sulfuric acid (5-10%) to adjust pH to approximately 4
Process Transfer
Converting from other nickel processes to Nickel BP 760 barrel nickel process is straightforward. Stop adding previous brightener and softener, then replenish using the previous tank amount or add Nickel BP 760 A and B at a 1:1 ratio.
