1、Designation: B 482 85 (Reapproved 2008)Standard Practice forPreparation of Tungsten and Tungsten Alloys forElectroplating1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B 482; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, th

2、e year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONBecause of the high melting point of tungsten, (3410C) this metal and its alloys are used inultra-high-tempe

3、rature applications. However, tungsten oxidizes readily and the oxides offer little orno protection to the metal because they melt or sublime below 2200C. Tungsten has a body-centered-cubic structure as does chromium. Its coefficient of thermal expansion is 4.3 m/m C; the coefficientof chromium is 6

4、.1 m/m C, therefore, chromium-coated tungsten offers a reasonable match basedon crystal structure and coefficient of thermal expansion. The effect of hydrogen must be consideredin the design of coating systems for tungsten. Molecular hydrogen when trapped under a coating canresult in failure of the

5、part. Although failure can occur if the adhesion of the coating to the tungstenis inadequate, failure within the basis metal as rupture at laminations of stringers has been observedwith off-grade tungsten.1. Scope1.1 This practice makes recommendations of several re-ported practices for electroplati

6、ng on tungsten and its alloysalong with comments as a guide in the selection of a processingmethod for a given application. Because data on methods andresults of evaluation with electroplated coatings on tungstenare limited, a recommendation of one method over anothercannot be made.1.2 This standard

7、 does not purport to address the safetyconcerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety andhealth practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.2. Processes2.1 The several processes repor

8、ted for electroplating ontungsten can be classified as either (1) providing as-depositedadhesion of the coatings or (2) depending on diffusion alloybonding to provide such adhesion. Appraisal of the relativemerits of these processes depends on the application for thecoating.2.2 Precleaning:2.2.1 The

9、 need for descaling, solvent cleaning, and alkaline-soak cleaning of tungsten is dictated by the degree of cleanli-ness of the surface to be coated. Remove gross scale andsurface imperfections by mechanical means. Remove greaseand oil by organic solvents. Remove saponifiable and dispers-ible surface

10、 dirt by soak cleaning in a hot alkaline cleaner.2.2.2 Anodic treatment of tungsten surfaces ina5to25mass % sodium hydroxide solution at 71 6 6C and 16 to 25A/dm2can be used to remove undesired surface metal. Anodicetching in a 10 mass % hydrofluoric acid electrolyte at24 6 3C and 5.4 A/dm2can be us

11、ed to remove light scale andundesired surface metal before activation and electroplating oftungsten.2.3 Activation and ElectroplatingTwo alternative meth-ods are presented below. The selection of one process over theother should be based on preliminary experimentation. Bothprocedures produce as-depo

Eitherdivide the work between two work rods or make one electrodeof platinum. Af
