Abstract

A simplified process is presented for plating nickel by the vapor decomposition of nickel carbonyl. In a preferred form of the invention a solid surface is nickel plated by subjecting the surface to contact with a mixture containing by volume approximately 20% nickel carbonyl vapor, 2% hydrogen sulfide and .l% water vapor or 1% oxygen and the remainder carbon dioxide at room temperature until the desired thickness of nickel is obtained. The advantage of this composition over others is that the normally explosive nickel carbonyl is greatly stabilized.

CATALYTIC GAS PLATING WITH NICKEL CARBONYL

Technical Report Tewes, W; Zava, T; Hoover, T

Exploratory studies were made to determine the value of four potential catalysts in increasing the gas plating rate for nickel carbonyl. The catalysts studied were anhydrous ammonia, water vapor, oxygen, and hydrogen sulfide. No catalytic effect was observed for either ammonla alone or for water vapor alone. Oxygen was not tested alone. With hydrogen sulfide present in the 0.2 to 0.4% concentration range, significant improvement in plating rate was observed. The best results were obtained with mixtures of hydrogen sulfide and water vapor or mixtures of hydrogen sulfide and oxygen, using hydrogen sulfide concentrations of 0.2 to 0.8%, water vapormore »« less

PROCESS OF COATING WITH NICKEL BY THE DECOMPOSITION OF NICKEL CARBONYL

Patent Hoover, T

An improved process is presented for the deposition of nickel coatings by the thermal decomposition of nickel carbonyl vapor. The improvement consists in incorporating a small amount of hydrogen sulfide gas in the nickel carbonyl plating gas. It is postulated that the hydrogen sulfide functions as a catalyst. i
A novel plating process for microencapsulating metal hydrides

Journal Article Law, H; Vyas, B; Zahurak, S; ... - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

One approach to increasing the lifetime of the metal hydride electrode has been the use of conventional electroless plating to produce a coating of copper or nickel on the surface of the metal hydride powders. In this paper, a novel method for microencapsulating the active electrode powders is presented. This new plating technique takes advantage of the reducing power of hydrogen already stored inside the metal hydride to plate a variety of metals onto metal hydride materials. This method greatly simplifies electroless plating for these powders, eliminating the need for stabilizers and additives typically required for conventional electroless plating solutions.more »« less

monoxide on being contacted with a heated sunface. A closed system is described wherein advantage is taken of this reaction to nickel-clad the heated surfaces of various objects by continuously circulating Ni(CO)/sub 4/ in a CO carrier. High-grade coatings of nickel can be obtatned at 275 to 285 tained C with 20 to 25 vol% Ni(CO)/sub 4/in the gas and at 270 to 310 tained C at 0.5 to 5 vol% Ni(CO)/sub 4/. The oxygen content in the gas phase should not exceed 0.4 vol%. Since the thermal decomposition of Ni(CO)/sub 4/ is accompanied by an adsorption of heat, themore »« less
Prototype nickel component demonstration. Final report

Technical Report Boss, D

We have been developing a process to produce high-purity nickel structures from nickel carbonyl using chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The prototype demonstration effort had been separated into a number of independent tasks to allow Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) the greatest flexibility in tailoring the project to their needs. LANL selected three of the proposed tasks to be performed--Task 1- system modification and demonstration, Task 2-stainless steel mandrel trials, and Task 4-manufacturing study. Task 1 focused on converting the CVD system from a hot-wall to a cold-wall configuration and demonstrating the improved efficiency of the reactor type by depositing amore »« less
