16、cover.BS1561:1966 BSI 08-1999 1 1 General 1.1 Scope 1.1.1 This British Standard specifies requirements for silver anodes, silver potassium cyanide and silver cyanide for electroplating. Silver is normally electrodeposited from a solution containing essentially, a double cyanide of silver and an alka

17、li metal, additional alkali cyanide (free cyanide) and other alkaline compounds. This solution is usually produced from silver potassium cyanide or silver cyanide and pure silver anodes are normally used. 1.2 Precautions 1.2.1 As cyanides are highly poisonous, they must never be touched with unprote

18、cted hands; gloves must be worn during sampling operations. Attention is also drawn to Form385 published by the Factory Department of the Ministry of Labour and obtainable from Her Majestys Stationery Office. 2 Silver anodes 2.1 Physical form 2.1.1 Silver anodes for electroplating shall, unless othe

19、rwise specified by the purchaser, be cast, rolled or extruded and in the annealed condition. The hardness of the silver anodes shall not exceed40HV5 when tested in accordance with BS427-1 1) . 2.2 Chemical composition 2.2.1 The silver content shall be not less than99.95%, when determined by the meth

20、od described in Appendix A. The combined silver and copper content shall be not less than99.98% when determined by the methods described in Appendix A and Appendix B. 2.3 Sampling and size of sample 2.3.1 A representative sample weighing not less than20g shall be taken for the purpose of examination

21、 under this standard. In order to obtain a representative sample, at least10% of the anodes in the consignment shall be drilled and a sample taken from the mixed drillings. 3 Silver potassium cyanide (double salt) 3.1 Physical form and appearance 3.1.1 Silver potassium cyanide (double salt) for elec

22、troplating shall be white in colour and shall correspond to the formula KAg (CN) 2 . 3.2 Chemical composition 3.2.1 The silver content shall be not less than54.0% when determined by the method described in Appendix A. 3.3 Impurities 3.3.1 The amount of matter insoluble in distilled water, when deter

23、mined by the method described in Appendix C, shall not exceed0.1%. 3.4 Containers 3.4.1 Unless otherwise agreed between purchaser and vendor, the salt shall be supplied in airtight containers. 3.5 Sampling and size of sample 3.5.1 A representative sample, weighing not less than50g shall be taken for

24、 the purpose of examination under this standard. The sample shall be taken from freshly opened packages and shall be packed in a clean, dry and airtight bottle and sealed. The sample shall be rapidly crushed, well mixed and returned to the bottle. 1) BS427, “Vickers hardness test”, Part1, “Testing o

26、80.0% when determined by the method described in Appendix A. 4.3 Impurities 4.3.1 The amount of matter insoluble in an aqueous solution of potassium cyanide, when determined by the method described in Appendix C, shall not exceed0.1%. 4.4 Containers 4.4.1 Unless otherwise agreed between purchaser an

27、d vendor, the salt shall be supplied in airtight containers. 4.5 Sampling and size of sample 4.5.1 A representative sample, weighing not less than50g shall be taken for the purpose of examination under this standard. The sample shall be taken from freshly opened packages and shall be packed in a cle
