Gold–Silver Electroless Plating on Laser Powder-Bed Fusion Additively Printed AlSi10Mg Parts

Laser powder bed fusion of Ti-6Al-4V parts: Thermal modeling and mechanical implications

A continuum-scale modeling approach is developed and employed with three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA), for simulating the temperature response of a Ti-6Al-4V, two-layered parallelepiped with dimensions of 10×5×0.06 mm during Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF), a metals additive manufacturing (AM) method. The model has been validated using experimental melt pool measurements from the l...

Laser assisted Pd seeding for electroless plating on SiQ2

Electroless Nickel Plating on Magnesium Alloy

he inherent lightness and good strength-to-weight ratio of T magnesium has focused attention on increasing applications in aerospace and allied fields. Its density is two thirds that of aluminum-a conventional structure material for aerospace. Magnesium has one drawback: It is prone to atmospheric corrosion. Further, because of its high chemical affinity for aqueous solutions, it is categorized...

Preparation of the Copper Coatings on Fe Powder by Electroless Plating Technique

The electroless coating technique is one of the elegant methods available for the production of protective coatings on surface. Our study has been aimed at the conditions of the electroless deposition of copper coating onto the iron powder particles from sulphate electrolyte. The course of the electroless process depends on the composition and pH of the electrolyte as well as on the size and co...

Electroless Nickel Plating with Hypophosphite

In the previous chapter, the components of electroless nickel plating baths were discussed from the viewpoint of the function each performs in the bath, with little attention paid to their effect on the plating process. The metal and the electron source (the reducing agent) are consumed in the electroless plating reaction and so their concentrations in the bath are continuously decreasing. Ther...
