STAINLESS STEEL FOR ELECTROLESS PLATING AND ITS PRODUCTION

摘要

PURPOSE: To obtain a stainless steel for electroless plating having a surface compsn. suitable for electroless plating by constituting the surface compsn. of the topmost surface layer of a stainless steel of the hydroxide of iron. ;CONSTITUTION: The surface compsn. of the topmost surface layer of a stainless steel is made of the hydroxide of iron. This surface compsn. is obtd. by subjecting the surface of the stainless steel to polishing in the presence of a reducing agent. By this polishing, the diffusion of the iron components to the surface of the stainless steel is promoted, and, by the reducing agent, the surface layer rich in iron oxide is formed. By applying the stainless steel having the same surface layer with electroless plating of a prescribed metal in the presence of a suitable reducing agent, the plated layer good in precipitation and adhesion can be obtd.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1995,JPO
