Abstract

Provided is a plating solution for a threaded connection for pipe or tube used for forming a plating film excellent in galling resistance, crevice corrosion resistance, and exposure corrosion resistance. The plating solution for a threaded connection for pipe or tube of the present embodiment contains no cyanide, but contains: a water-soluble copper salt; a water-soluble tin salt; a water-soluble bismuth salt; a free acid; and a thiourea-based compound of 10 g/L or less (excluding 0) that is represented by Chemical Formula ( 1 ): X 1 X 2 N—C(═S)—NX 3 X 4   (1), where each of X 1 , X 2 , X 3 , and X 4 is any one of hydrogen, an alkyl group, an allyl group, a tolyl group, or a group represented by Chemical Formula (2), but excluding that X 1 , X 2 , X 3 , and X 4 are all hydrogen: —CH 2 —CH 2 —S—CH 2 —CH 2 —X 5   (2), where X 5 is OH or NH 2 .

Claims (10)

1 . A plating solution for a threaded connection for pipe or tube, the plating solution containing no cyanide,

the plating solution comprising:

a water-soluble copper salt; a water-soluble tin salt; a water-soluble bismuth salt; a free acid; and a thiourea-based compound of 10 g/L or less (excluding 0) that is represented by Chemical Formula (1):

X 1 X 2 N—C(═S)—NX 3 X 4   (1),

where each of X 1 , X 2 , X 3 , and X 4 is any one of hydrogen, an alkyl group, an allyl group, a tolyl group, or a group represented by Chemical Formula (2), but excluding that X 1 , X 2 , X 3 , and X 4 are all hydrogen:

—CH 2 —CH 2 —S—CH 2 —CH 2 —X 5   (2),

where X 5 is OH or NH 2 .

2 . A producing method of a threaded connection for pipe or tube comprising:

a step of preparing the plating solution according to claim 1 ; and

a step of subjecting a pin or a box of the threaded connection to electroplating using the plating solution so as to form a Cu—Sn—Bi alloy plating film on the pin or the box.
