ABSTRACT

Noble metal coatings, which provide high corrosion reistance, usu­ ally are applied to products for which corrosion resistance and deco­ rative appearance are requirements. It may be mentioned that ad­ vancements in technology in this field have been made in the develop­ ment of multilayer coatings as well as in the electroless plating proc­ ess. Coating metals belonging to this category are nickel, chromium, tin, lead, and their alloys.
