Abstract

Describes the requirements for the nickel-plating of ferrous metals, copper alloys, aluminum alloys and zinc alloys for one or more of the following purposes: a) the production of wear-resistant surfaces; b) the building up of worn or over-machined surfaces; c) corrosion resistance; and d) to provide an undercoat for subsequent deposits, e.g., chromium.
