2. Composition and structure
Electroless nickel and electrolytic nickel differ significantly in terms of purity and structure.
Electrolytic nickel purity exceeds 99%.
Electroless nickel deposited from a hypophosphite bath
This phosphorus content (which can range from 3% to 12%) has a major influence on the properties of the deposit.
Low phosphorus" refers to a phosphorus content of 2-5%.
Medium phosphorus" corresponds to a phosphorus content of 6 to 9%.
The designation "high phosphorus" corresponds to a phosphorus content of 10 to 13%.
The choice of bath depends on the properties required, such as corrosion...
