Nickel-based magnetic activated carbon was synthesized from coconut shell activated carbon by electroless plating with palladium-free activation. The effect of plating solution volume on metallic ratio and adsorption capacity were evaluated. The effect of metallic ratio on specific area, pore volume, and magnetic properties were investigated. The morphologies of activated carbon before and afte...

The pretreatment of the substrate, prior to Electroless Nickel (EN) plating, plays an important role in the corrosion protection provided by the EN deposit. Many factors in the pretreatment process can affect the corrosion resistance of the EN deposit. The details of mechanical treatment, chemical/elecuo polishing, acid activation, and pre-processing procedure (such as nickel strike) are among ...

This paper discusses the effects of sodium hypophosphite concentration, pH and temperature on deposition rate. This paper also discusses the evaluation of coating strength, surface and subsurface by varying the bath parameters, percentage of phosphate, plating temperature and pH of the plating solution. Taguchi technique has been used for the analysis. In the experiment, Nickel chloride which i...

This work connects the neocybernetic theory of elastic systems to modeling of a complex industrial process. It turns out that using simple mathematics combined with multilinear tools leads to linear models that can be used for monitoring and control. As an application example, electroless nickel plating is studied.

he inherent lightness and good strength-to-weight ratio of T magnesium has focused attention on increasing applications in aerospace and allied fields. Its density is two thirds that of aluminum-a conventional structure material for aerospace. Magnesium has one drawback: It is prone to atmospheric corrosion. Further, because of its high chemical affinity for aqueous solutions, it is categorized...

The effects of anodizing condition and post treatment on the growth of nickel nanowires, were investigated. A two-step anodizing process was applied in phosphoric and oxalic acid solution. Nickel electrochemical plating was applied to fill Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO) pores. For pore filling enhancement, AAO surfaces were treated by silver predeposition. After electroplating, aluminum and oxide ...
