Title: Laboratory procedure for sizing and electroless nickel plating assembled steel bearings

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7279846

The bearing is placed in a holder and degreased in methyl chloroform. The entire bearing is etched in hydrochloric acid and sized in an ammonium bifluoride-hydrogen peroxide solution (NH/sub 4/F.HF--H/sub 2/O/sub 2/). The bearing is removed from the holder, activated in hydrochloric acid and plated with 0.001 in. of nickel in a plating tumbler immersed in a heated electroless nickel plating bath. The bearing is water-rinsed and air-dried.
