Pure nickel is very hard, ductile, shiny, resistant to corrosion, and has a silvery-white color. Thanks to these extraordinary properties, nickel is often utilized in surface engineering and coating ...

IN the plating industry, the addition agents for bright nickel plating have been classified into two classes. The brighteners of the first can be added to a plating bath in rather higher concentration ...

The use of electroless nickel (EN) plating as a method for providing lightweight materials with higher durability, greater corrosion performance, and enhanced fuel efficiencies was introduced more ...

Maintaining internal compressive stress through 20 metal turnovers (MTO), the process provides consistent deposit properties over an extended operating life without the use of expensive ...

Brenner and Riddell 1 have described a method for nickel and cobalt plating by chemical reduction of the metal salts with sodium hypophosphite under both acid and alkaline conditions. Aside from its ...

A new method of deposition of Nickel alloy coatings on high-performance materials in engineering applications can replace environmentally toxic chrome coatings. The coatings obtained are also highly ...
