A study of the electroless plating of Sn onto a die-cast aluminum alloy

Abstract

"A tin layer was immersion plated onto a zinc-silicon containing aluminum alloy by using a potassium stannate solution. Conventional aluminum pretreatment was used before immersion plating.

Effects of immersion time with immersion tin thickness and Al-Sn adhesion were studied. Conditions of subsequent Sn-Pb electroplating on Sn plated aluminum samples were investigated.

SEM (scanning electron microscope) and x-ray energy dispersion studies were extensively used on samples of each stage"--Abstract, page ii.
