Electroless plating

...article ] Nickel-phosphorus (8–12% P) is deposited to give hardness of 500–600 VPN (as deposited) and 800–1000 VPN (heat treated 400⁰C for 60 min). Gives more uniform deposit than electroplating, and better corrosion resistance. Surface has good lubricating properties due to phosphorus content. Deposit thickness 75 µm. Composition of nicrolyte 30 g l-1 nickel...
