7. Future developments in nickel-boron coatings

7.1 New deposit applications

Chemical deposits have been extensively studied for numerous industrial applications. Their diverse properties, such as hardness, thickness uniformity, wear and corrosion resistance, as well as the ability to process non-conductive and complex-shaped substrates, make electroless nickel deposits highly attractive candidates for many engineering applications, particularly in the aerospace and automotive industries.

Recently, new fields of application have opened up for these high-performance coatings. One such field is based on the catalytic properties of nickel-boron coatings. Studies on the catalytic reduction of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA)
