Electroless Nickel Plating by W Riedel 311 pages $120.00

rhis book is a translation of the German Edition updated through 1989. It contains 17 chapters covering a11 aspects from pretreatment to post-treatment includ- ing brief discussions of the market size, stripping, spec- ifications, and waste treatment.

The history and chemistry of electroless plating solutions are covered in more detail as are set-up, oper- ations, and applications; however, the heart of this vol- ume is concerned with the structure and properties of deposits, which make up nearly one-third of this vol- ume. A valuable reference for finishers.
