  • Composite electroless plating
    Patent number: 8147601
    Abstract: This invention is directed to a process for electrolessly metallizing an article, as well as to a plating bath and the subsequent plated substrate. The process comprises contacting the surface of an article with an electroless metallizing bath which may be essentially free of toxic and/or heavy metals.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 7, 2010
    Date of Patent: April 3, 2012
    Assignee: Surface Technology, Inc.
    Inventors: Michael Feldstein, Thomas Stephen Lancsek, Jijeesh Jose Thottathil

  • PROCESSES FOR TEXTURING A SURFACE PRIOR TO ELECTROLESS PLATING
    Publication number: 20090302005
    Abstract: Process for roughening a surface of a base metal substrate includes contacting the surface with an aqueous solution comprising oxalic acid, sulfuric acid, and hydrogen peroxide at a temperature and for a period of time effective to roughen the surface to an average roughness greater than 60 Ra, removing a modest amount of base material, and generating no narrow and deep crevices at all. The surface is roughened prior to application of an electroless coating onto the substrate.

  • Selective codeposition of particulate matter and plated articles thereof
    Patent number: 6506509
    Abstract: The present invention relates to composite electroless coatings with varying densities of codeposited particles in the plated layer along the surface of the substrate where said variation of densities is directed by the angle of rotation of the substrate during the coating process.
