An overall aspect of electroless Ni-P depositions—A review article

Literature on electroless Ni-P deposition, in recent decades, has dwelled primarily on surface engineering and corrosion-resistant applications. By contrast, we have many research articles devoted to the engineering aspects of the electroless Ni-P depositions and their technology. The present article deals with the development of electroless Ni-P bath, advantages and mechanisms of deposition, and applications of the Ni-P deposits. We also present a comparison of the properties of electroless Ni-P and Ni-B as well as the recent developments in nickel-phosphorous research. We attempt to review these in a detailed manner. We also briefly discuss the future developments of electroless Ni-P.
