The invention discloses an iron substrate plating neutral stripping agent. 
Nitrate is optimally selected as an 
oxidizing agent for stripping 
nickel, 
chromium, 
copper, 
tin and other plating on an iron substrate, and as generally, 
nitrate is relatively stable in property and relatively low in 
toxicity, so that when the stripping agent provided by the invention is used, exhaust gases and waste water are not generated, and the stripping agent is non-corrosive to a device and highly friendly to the environment; at the same time 
nitrate is matched with citrate, 
potassium sodium tartrate and a proper amount of polyhydroxyl 
aldehyde, so that the speed for stripping the 
nickel plating on the iron substrate is effectively increased, the plating stripping is achieved in a short time, and the 
production cycle is shortened while the substrate is not damaged; and particularly, 
calcium nitrate is optimally as the 
oxidizing agent, and 
ammonium ferric citrate is adopted as a first complexing agent, and 
calcium nitrate and 
ammonium ferric citrate are combined with 
mannitol and 
sodium diacetate, so that the stripping rate of the 
nickel plating on the iron substrate can be effectively increased. Relative to the prior art, the stripping agent has the advantages of being free of 
corrosion, poisonous gases and 
pollution, high in efficiency, environment-friendly in use, easy and convenient to maintain, and the like.
