The leadselectrodeposited by conventional dull or bright nickel over 5μm at direct current from Watt bathare hard to pass the bend fatigue test for three times. Nickel electrodeposited at multi waveformcurrent including direct current, single and double pulse from sulfamate bath can improve the bendfatigue strength of leads. Such nickel plating has a multilayer structure, its morphology ofsublayers can be clearly seen in its cross section with SEM. The electrochemical study shows thatthese sublayers have different corrosion potentials. The bend fatigue test of leads with suchplating for T8 metal package shows that the number of bend increases with the decrease of averagecurrent density of multi waveform, which can be attributed to the reduction of every sublayerthickness and the increase of layer numbers under the same condition of total thickness.展开更多
