Electroless Nickel-plated Steel versus Stainless Steel: Case Studies
This paper highlights two case studies of manufacturers that have replaced, or done studies to replace, stainless steel with electroless nickel-plated mild steel. In both cases, cost savings could be realized while maintaining or improving product quality.

Nanoscale Characterization of Thin Immersion Silver Coatings on Copper Substrates
The rather long history of silver plating, both by electrodeposition and via immersion plating, started with the cyanides. Though such compounds are rather hazardous, they are still used today for many metal plating tasks in the microelectronic industries. New trends, aim at replacing the cyanide. Using new complexing agents and additives in the newer industrial immersion silver baths, there should be less concern that immersion silver processes would be inappropriate or less advantageous than gold in high-tech applications in the microelectronic industries.
