Brightness Control of Electroless Nickel Plating on Al

Hi we have started electroless nickel plating on aluminium. We are not able to control the brightness of plating. Is it necessary to add any brightener in bath? What should be the procedure otherwise? We use standard chemicals of Artek Ltd.

Yes, there are many additives which control the appearance of the deposit. See your supplier.

We're working hard to make sure we find it the best new home.
