A. Hello Mr. Abhishek. Unfortunately, what you are asking for fills whole books! Here are two such books as a start: Chemical (Electroless) Nickel Plating, by G.G. Gawrilov and "Electroless Plating - Fundamentals & Applications" by Mallory & Hajdu [on eBay , Amazon, or AbeBooks] .

You probably need to learn a bit about electroplating and then ask some specific questions. Good luck.
