Abstract: An ABS plastic surface metal layer and method of manufacturing the same, the structure of said ABS plastic surface metal layer includes: a chemical nickel layer 102 having thickness of 0.05˜0.5 ?m, a watt nickel layer having thickness of 1˜3 ?m, a semi-bright nickel layer having thickness of 3˜10?m, a PVD resistant alloy layer having thickness of 0.1˜2 ?m, and a PVD color layer having thickness of 0.1˜0.3 ?m. The manufacturing method includes: pre-processing the ABS plastic; electroplating the watt nickel layer and the semi-bright nickel layer in sequence; performing dragging process for the plated semi-bright nickel layer; performing hydrocarbon vacuum degreasing and baking processes for a dragged ABS plastic plated piece, then form the PVD resistant alloy layer and the PVD color layer, to complete the ABS plastic surface metal layer.

Abstract: A method for applying a semi-dry electroplating method on a surface of plastic substrate is related to an electroplating method of plastic. which realizes the surface metallization of plastic materials, simplifies the electroplating procedure, dramatically reduces the amount of waste water, reduces the pollution to environment and expands electroplatable range of plastic substrates, is provided. Water-free cleaning and dust removal are conducted to a plastic substrate; a first-time activated treatment is conducted to the surface of the plastic substrate; a PVD plating metallic base layer, an alloy transition layer and a metallic electrical conductive layer are applied in turn on it, ultrasonic water washing and a second-time activated treatment are conducted on the treated plastic substrate; the treated plastic substrate is directly electroplated with acid copper or is moved to a nickel plating bath, and then complete the final surface treatment according to the actual process requirements.
