The thickness of the gold-plated layer of gold-plated tungsten wire is affected by many factors. Here are some of the major factors and their impact:
Gold plating solution concentration
The concentration of the gold plating solution is one of the main factors affecting the thickness of the gold plating layer. Within a certain range, as the concentration of the solution increases, the thickness of the gold plating layer will also increase. However, when the concentration reaches a certain value, the thickness of the gold plating layer will gradually slow down. This is because as the concentration of the solution increases, the gold ions in the solution will gradually become saturated, causing the gold plating layer to slow down. Depending on the gold plating solution and process conditions, the concentration of the gold plating solution can range from thousands to hundreds of thousands of parts.
Gold plating solution temperature
The temperature of the gold plating solution is also one of the factors affecting the thickness of the gold plating layer. Within a certain range, as the solution temperature increases, the thickness of the gold plating layer will also increase. However, when the temperature is too high, the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of the gold plating layer will decrease. Therefore, when selecting the temperature of the gold plating solution, the thickness and performance requirements of the gold plating layer need to be comprehensively considered.
PH value of gold plating solution
The pH value of the gold plating solution is also one of the factors that affects the thickness of the gold plating layer. If the pH value is too low, the thickness of the gold plating layer will decrease; if the pH value is too high, the thickness of the gold plating layer will increase. However, too high a pH value can also lead to a decrease in the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of the gold-plated layer. Therefore, when selecting the pH value of the gold plating solution, the thickness and performance requirements of the gold plating layer need to be comprehensively considered.
Gilded time
Gold plating time is also one of the factors that affects the thickness of the gold plating layer. Within a certain range, as the gold plating time increases, the thickness of the gold plating layer will also increase. However, when the gold plating time is too long, the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of the gold plating layer will decrease. Therefore, when selecting gold plating time, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the thickness and performance requirements of the gold plating layer.
Current density
Current density is also one of the factors affecting the thickness of the gold plating layer. The greater the current density, the greater the thickness of the gold plating layer. However, excessive current density will lead to a decrease in the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of the gold-plated layer. Therefore, when selecting the current density, the thickness and performance requirements of the gold plating layer need to be considered comprehensively.
Tungsten wire diameter and shape
The diameter and shape of the tungsten wire also affects the thickness of the gold plating layer. Generally speaking, the larger the diameter of the tungsten wire, the thicker the gold plating layer. In addition, the shape of the tungsten wire will also affect the thickness of the gold plating layer. For example, a tungsten wire with a rough surface will cause uneven thickness of the gold plating layer.
Ambient temperature and humidity
The temperature and humidity of the environment will also affect the thickness of the gold plating layer. Too high ambient temperature will cause the surface temperature of the tungsten wire to rise, thus affecting the thickness and quality of the gold plating layer. Excessive ambient humidity will cause water vapor in the air to adhere to the surface of the tungsten wire, thereby affecting the adhesion and thickness of the gold plating layer.
