Abstract
Abstract The electroless deposition of nickel base alloys is improved by incorporating in the bath ions of vanadium and of at least one of the metals thallium, vanadium, tin, zinc or tungsten. Three of these metals give even better results, and best results are obtained with four or all five. The effect of the plural added metals is synergetic, to improve corrosion resistance, freedom from porosity, and brightness of the deposited coating.
