As a widely used surface strengthening technology, electroless plating can be applied to various materials such as metals and non-metals, but its process parameters are numerous and difficult to optimize. For this reason, this study designed a three-factor and four-level orthogonal experimental scheme with the main salt/reducing agent molar ratio, lactic acid and PH value as the factors, and the plating speed and microhardness as the evaluation indicators. The range analysis was carried out on the experimental results, the best process parameters were selected, and the influence rules and reasons of the three factors on the evaluation indexes were discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
