Gold-plated Tungsten Lettering Process

Lettering in China already has thousands of years of history, it is a subsidiary derived art of calligraphy, for being loved by most literati. Lettering process can be divided into modern lettering and traditional lettering, modern lettering is based on the traditional lettering and combining the   contemporary elements thereby to move towards a expression of aesthetic consciousness. But traditional lettering is mainly for the reproduction of ancient calligraphy.
 
For the people of contemporary society, lettering in the gold-plated tungsten products is mainly to increase the aesthetics and collection values, so that can better meet the aesthetic of different people. In addition, for some people who likes to customize the gold-plated tungsten products to be specially lettered, may reflect the commemorative purposes or the individual's taste and aesthetic of the customizers.
 
Lettering also can be divided into the machine lettering (including laser lettering) and manual lettering, the latter is more difficult. The difference between them is that they using the different lettering tools, but the lettering machine has higher efficiency and better accuracy, which makes it more suitable for mass production of gold-plated tungsten lettering article. Whether it is machine lettering, or manual lettering, both of them are the reflection of the aesthetic and artistic, and the heritage of Chinese calligraphy.

CVD Diamond Coated Carbide Pretreatment—Transition Applied (1/2)

Except acid etching and plasma etching to remove cobalt (Co), deposited a transition layer between diamond film and tungsten carbide cutting tool in advance is also a common kind of pretreatment. At present, common types of transition layer can be specifically divided into single-layer transition and composite transition. Single-layer transition includes silicon (Si), chromium (Cr), boron (B), copper (Cu), titanium (Ti), silicon carbide (SiC), silicon nitride (Si3N4), silicon carbide, nitrogen (SiCxNy), titanium nitride (TiN), titanium carbide (TiC), titanium carbonitride (TiCN), (Ti, Si) Nx, diamond-like carbon coating (DLC) and so on; composite transition layer includes tungsten carbide / tungsten (WC / W), titanium carbide / titanium nitride (TiC / TiN), titanium nitride / titanium carbonitride / titanium nitride (TiN / TiCN / TiN), titanium carbonitride / titanium (TiCN / Ti ), chromium / chromium nitride / chromium (Cr / CrN / Cr), and copper / titanium (Cu / T), etc.

There are many effects of the transition layer, such as it blocks out the diffusion of Co, which promotes the growth of graphite in carbon and the matrix; secondly, it decreases the possibility of heat stress appearing caused by the mismatching of crystal lattice parameters and coefficient of thermal expansion between diamond coating and tungsten carbide matrix, thirdly, the transition layer not only can improve the binding force between traditional diamond film and tungsten carbide matrix, but also form a bond of conjunction with two different kinds of materials; and it can increase the density of nucleation of diamond (nucleation, the process of under cooling metal liquid, which is the initial stage of crystallization.) and the binding force of diamond film; last but not least, the transition layer has stable chemical properties and excellent mechanical strength.

Gold-plated Tungsten Solvent Method Hot-dipped Process

Hot-dipped method is a common process that to take the products which melting points are higher than the plating solution into the plating solution. It is primarily used for plating the corrosion-resistant metal layers on the surfaces of plating pieces in order to enhance the effectiveness of their efficacy. Its basic process is similar to other plating method, including the pre-treatment, hot-dipped and post-processing. According to the difference of pre-treatment methods, hot-dipped can be divided into solvent method hot-dip process and hydrogen reduction hot-dipped process.
 
The processes of gold-plated tungsten solvent method hot dipped process can be seen as follows:
 
1, Before taking the solvent method hot-dipped gold process, we need to check the tungsten plating pieces firstly, to see if there is any greasy dirt, dust, defects left on the surface, which will affect the uniformity of impurities follow-up.
 
2, If there is any greasy dirt on the surface of the tungsten plating pieces, it should be firstly removed. The common used methods to remove the greasy dirt of the metal surface are including: alkaline degreasing method, emulsion degreasing method and the organic solvent degreasing method. The organic solvent degreasing method is the common used method for removing the greasy dirt when using solvent method hot-dipped process.
 
3, Drying the tungsten plating pieces after cleaning the residual lye with water.
 
4, Pickling, using the acidic solvent to clean the impurities of tungsten plating pieces again, then drying them after washing with water. 
 
5, Preheating and drying tungsten plating pieces after cleaning it with solvent.
 
6, Finally, Immersing the dried and preheated tungsten plating pieces into the plating solution, and finished with drying and cooling the gold-plated tungsten products after uniformly plating.

Under the action of ultraviolet light, it can effectively degrade the air poisonous gases; can effectively kill a variety of bacteria. Fungi and bacteria can release toxins decomposition and it is a harmless treatment; it also has a deodorizing, antifouling, air purification and other functions. Photocatalyst materials are nano TiO2, ZnO, CdS, WO3, Fe2O3, PbS, SnO2, ZnS, SrTiO3, SiO2, etc. In all of the photocatalyst material, in addition, the enzyme aldehyde not only has high photocatalytic activity, and has acid corrosion, chemical resistant, non-toxic, etc. Photocatalyst has a high price, and therefore most of the use of Nano-titanium dioxide as the main raw material on the market.

wAs can be seen from the figure, the atomic weight of tungsten (W) is 74, and titanium element atomic weight is 22, the structure of atomic is more complicated. Tungsten is rare heavy metals. It was found that tungsten trioxide (WO3) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) are similar. However, they are not the same nature. Energy tungsten trioxide (WO3) outer electrons is less active compared to the titanium dioxide, its electron volts insufficient 3.2, that is to say, just 400 nm wavelength of visible light is activated.

Studies have shown that, photocatalyst tungsten trioxide is indeed light catalysis in the indoor environment, which can purify the indoor environment, for example, in fluorescent lamps (also called fluorescent) light irradiation (wavelength 400 nm) occurred photocatalysis. However, the activity is not enough. The cost of tungsten trioxide nanoscale production is too high; the production process is complex, the process requires a large number of civilian photocatalyst tungsten trioxide.

Sodium tungstate concentration on Ni-Co-W-P alloy coating influence 2/2

Influence of sodium tungstate on deposition rate: when the concentration of the quality of sodium tungstate solution is small, plating speed rises with the increase of concentration. Mass concentration in the 0.4 g/L plating velocity, concentration of sodium tungstate quality continues to increase, plating speed, began to appear the obvious downward trend. The change rule, add a small amount of sodium tungstate in plating solution, deposition has a promoting effect of plating solution, but the quality of sodium tungstate concentration exceeds a certain value, accelerated the decomposition of the plating solution, deposition rate declines.
 
Deposition RateInfluence of sodium tungstate on magnetic property: chemical plating solution mass concentration of sodium tungstate had significant effect on the magnetic coating, with the increase of mass concentration of sodium tungstate, thin film of coercive force decrease after rising first, peaked at 0.4 g/L. Sodium tungstate concentration on the influence of saturation magnetization intensity and its influence on coercive force trend similar to that of low concentration with the increase of mass concentration of sodium tungstate, coating of the saturation magnetization increased, and at the age of 0.8 g/L reached its highest 22 emu/g, then a downward trend. W mass fraction in the coating increased with the increase of mass concentration of sodium tungstate, so sodium tungstate mass concentration of magnetic can be attributed to the influence of W on the influence of coating microstructure and composition.
 
Influence of sodium tungstate on coating microstructure: through the coating obtained by different concentration of sodium tungstate quality SEM analysis, the results show that the addition of sodium tungstate can improve coating morphology. With sodium tungstate mass concentration increasing, cellular density, uniform, fine particles, growing more mature. Sodium tungstate concentration continued to increase, the morphology change, coating surface trench, uneven grain size and large cellular processes, local caking and micro cracks have appeared.

 

Sodium tungstate concentration on Ni-Co-W-P alloy coating influence 1/2

With the development of medical technology, nickel titanium shape memory alloy stent and stainless steel stents has been used in clinic. But this kind of bracket has some drawbacks. In this paper, on the bracket plating a layer of magnetic thin films, the preparation can be magnetized medical metal stents. Near plus a magnetic field is used to change the drugs to tumor cells, increase the function of stent chemical drugs, reach the role of local targeted therapy, and reduce the side effects of drugs.
 
EDS Spectrum AnalysisThere are many preparation methods of magnetic thin film. Because the bracket is made of nickel - titanium wire or stainless steel wire, complex shape, the first choice is the chemical plating method. Chemical plating has low cost, simple operation and uniform coating, and low porosity. This paper mainly discusses the Ni Ti shape memory alloy stent - table and electroless Ni-P-Co-W magnetic thin film in the formula of sodium tungstate concentration of Co-W-Ni-P film morphology and performance.
 
By chemical plating, test and analysis, we can draw the following conclusions:
1. Sodium tungstate affects deposition of W:
With the increase of mass concentration of sodium tungstate, deposition of W mass fraction increased as well. Metal Ni and Co in the coating is the main body elements, with the increase of mass concentration of sodium tungstate, irregular mass fraction of their change. P mass fraction is less.In sodium tungstate concentration is 0.8 g/L EDS spectrum analysis of coating.
2. Sodium tungstate affects coating gloss and adhesion:
Use JS28 type microscope, in different mass concentration of sodium tungstate solution of coating gloss, 90 ° bend test coating on the number of crack and spalling blocks were observed after evaluation. Coating gloss and adhesion test results show that the change in the plating solution mass concentration, sodium tungstate coated gloss and adhesion to significantly alter. When the concentration of sodium tungstate quality control in 0.4 ~ 1.0 g/L, the deposition of the luster and binding force is relatively good.
