Electroless or chemical plating applies a consistent coating layer of nickel, copper, chromium or other metal to finished parts without relying on an external electrical source, by staging several ...

Three laser experiments today: laser-induced electroless copper plating, laser-assisted electroplating on stainless steel, ...

Editor’s note: Steven Bales is president of Bales Mold Service Inc., a supplier of engineered coatings and finishes. When a customer is hot for a job—and that’s most customers these ...

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 ...

SAN JOSE, Calif. — The College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) of the University at Albany, N.Y. and Technic Inc. have announced an R&D partnership that is designed to enable critical ...

Electroless copper plating on LIG offers a simple, scalable, and eco-conscious route to producing high-performance flexible circuits. By combining laser patterning with catalytic chemistry, it yields ...

There are plenty of chemical processes that happen commonly around the house that, if we’re really following safety protocols to the letter, should be done in a fume hood. Most of us will have had ...

New methods are currently being developed to analyze a range of parameters in-situ; for example, the pH, nickel concentration and reducing agent concentration of electroless nickel baths. These ...
