Effects of pH Variation on the Properties of Electroless Nickel Plating on ABS Made by MmSH

순간금형가열법에 의해 제작된 ABS의 pH변화에 따른 무전해 Ni도금 특성

The MmSH is a process of injecting ABS to produce innovated physical properties compared to the conventional injection process. Physical properties such as thickness and adhesion strength of Ni plate electrolessly coated on a conventional and a MmSH injected ABS have been studied in the pH range 4~8. Thickness of the plate on the MmSH and the conventionally injected ABS appeared to be directly proportional to pH. The ABS processed by the conventional injection showed adhesion strength corresponded to ASTM 4B above pH 5. On the other hand, the ABS processed by the MmSH injection showed a superior adhesion strength corresponded to ASTM 5B above pH 6. It was calculated the shielding effectiveness of above 50 dB in all conditions.
