In the past 30 years, electroless nickel (EN) plating has grown to such proportions that these coatings and their applications are now found underground, in outer space, and in a myriad of areas in between. Moreover, in order to further improve the mechanical and tribological properties of the nickel-phosphorous (Ni-P) coatings, Ni-P/PTFE composite coatings can be obtained, which provides even ...

KGaA, Weinheim 1 wileyonlinelibrary.com applications, metal nanoparticles, oxides, polymers, and many other materials were inkjet-printed.[1] However, the inkjet printing of an essential material for electrochemical applications, palladium (Pd), is less commonly reported. Pd is of significant importance for electrochemical applications due to its high electroc...

Capillary zone electrophoresis was used in the analysis of anions and cations in electroless plating bath samples. Examples described in this application note include the analysis of inorganic and organic anions in nickel-plating baths, cations in nickel-iron-cobalt-plating baths and metal-EDTA complexes in plating bath waste. Sample preparation was minimal, consisting merely of diluting the sa...

We present the first evidence for spatio-temporal merging dynamics in thin

Electroless deposition of Au onto hydrogen-terminated Si(111) from aqueous HF solutions has been studied by Rutherford backscattering (RBS) and in situ surface second harmonic (SH) generation. The SH signal as a function of time goes through a maximum which becomes stronger and occurs at shorter times as the HF concentration is increased. This can be explained through resonant enhancement of th...

Ni-P Electroless coatings provide appropriate resistance to wear and corrosion. Co-deposition of particles between layers can improve their properties, especially general corrosion and erosion-corrosion behavior by means of nano diamond as reinforcing particles. In this study Ni-P/nano diamond composite deposition were deposited on steel substrate. Structure of the coatings and corrosion r...

The effect of an electroless Ni-Cu-P coating on the fatigue behavior of quenched and tempered CK45 steel has been investigated. The fatigue tests under rotating bending conditions have been conducted in three different conditions of uncoated, as-deposited and shot peened prior to the coating deposition. The results indicate that plating of the base steel leads to a fatigue life reduction. The d...
