electroless plating

[i′lek·trə·ləs′plād·iŋ] (metallurgy) Deposition of a metal coating by immersion of a metal or nonmetal in a suitable bath containing a chemical reducing agent.

Electroless plating

A chemical reduction process which, once initiated, is autocatalytic. The process is similar to electroplating except that no outside current is needed. The metal ions are reduced by chemical agents in the plating solutions, and deposit on the substrate. An advantage of electroless plating with current is the more uniform thickness of the surface coating.

Electroless plating is used for coating nonmetallic parts. Decorative electroless plates are usually further coated with electrodeposited nickel and chromium. There are also applications for electroless deposits on metallic substrates, especially when irregularly shaped objects require a uniform coating. Electroless copper is used extensively for printed circuits, which are produced either by coating the nonmetallic substrate with a very thin layer of electroless copper and electroplating to the desired thickness or by using the electroless process only. Electroless iron and cobalt have limited uses. Electroless gold is used for microcircuits and connections to solid-state components. Deeply recessed areas which are difficult to plate can be coated by the electroless process. See Electroplating of metals

单词	electroless plating
释义	electroless plating e·lec·tro·less plating (ĭ-lĕk′trə-lĭs)n. Any of various metal-plating techniques, with numerous applications, that use chemical interactions rather than an electric current to cause a metal coating to adhere to a surface. Also called autocatalytic plating, chemical plating. electroless plating electroless plating [i′lek·trə·ləs′plād·iŋ] (metallurgy) Deposition of a metal coating by immersion of a metal or nonmetal in a suitable bath containing a chemical reducing agent.
