2. Explain
1)Bath for chemical nickel: it shall be made of PP or PVC material plate without filler;
2)Filter: PP filter element with pore diameter less than 15mn and special filter for chemical nickel are adopted for continuous filtration during plating;
3)Heating and thermal insulation: Teflon thin tube bundle, water bath spacer, stainless steel sleeve, Teflon steam and quartz tube can be used for electric heating; In order to avoid local overheating of the plating solution, start the air or mechanical agitator when heating;
4)Ventilation: ammonia smell will be produced during the production of the bath, and it is best to have ventilation facilities on the bath;
5)Standby bath: when the chemical nickel is not used for a long time, filter it to the standby tank with a filter, and soak the bath with about 40% nitric acid to remove the nickel slag on the bath and the equipment inside.
