Electroless Nickel Plating of (EN) Aluminum Alloy 6262
-----
Q. We have been asked to electroless nickel plate Aluminium alloy 6262. In the UK there are no technical references to this material. Do you know of any processes for cleaning this alloy, We know that it contains Lead and Bismuth, do these represent any contamination problems?
Any information on this particular alloy would be gratefully received. Thank You

Hi, Mike. I'm confident that the ASM Metals Handbook will have the composition and properties data for this alloy. The metal must be zincated before electroless nickel plating, so the electroless nickel bath should not "see" the composition of the substrate.

Hi. If you can get access to them, Chemical (Electroless) Nickel Plating by G.G. Gawrilov or Electroless Plating: Fundamentals & Applications by Mallory and Hajdu will have all the answers, Vasav. Good luck.
