  • Cobalt as a stabilizer in electroless plating formulations
    Patent number: 5480477
    Abstract: A process for the electroless deposition of metals and alloys onto a substrate by immersion of the substrate into an electroless plating composition. Said electroless plating composition comprises a solvent, a metallic compound, an electroless reducing agent, a complexing agent and/or chelating agent, and a compound comprising cobaltic ions. The presence of the cobaltic ions assists in the stabilization of this composition of matter.

  • Electroless coating method
    Patent number: 5006367
    Abstract: A method for the electroless coating of ferromagnetic substrates substantially free of microspheres or other unwanted auxillary matter, thereby reducing the roughness of the coated articles. The method and articles produced are subjected to a magnetic field and demagnetized prior to the plating step. The method is of particular utility in the coating of textile machinery parts operating at high rotational speed in the minimizing of dust and yarn damage. The method is also of great utility in the deposition of composite electroless coatings.
