Ni does not adhere well to stainless steel. It peels off easily,
a fact we use to prepare standalone Ni sheets - the underlying
SS layer can be reused for many re-platings and peelings.

Subject: [mems-talk] Plating on stainles steel


Hello
Does anyone know how I would go about plating a nickel  corrosion coat on
stainless (to be used as a probe)?
I've heard that I must plate with copper first and then nickel.
Any information or source of information will be greatly appreciated.
Liz
