Liz,
    Don't know but I do know that any surface treated with a plasma has a
better chance of adhesion.  I would suggest a plasma gas that contains
Hydrogen to reduce any oxide on the surface then a fast run to the plating
shop.  I do not know where you are geographically but my company manufactures
plasma equipment and we would be happy to run a sample for you.  Bill Moffat.
P.S. we are in San Jose, Silicon Valley.

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
