We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Electroless Nickel",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Photo-chemical machining promotion launched from
Tecan, which we summarised at the time by saying "As part of a promotional offer for spring 2007, Tecan is offering photo-chemical machining of customised components at reduced rates and with a turnround of just 48 hours".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release One-touch fittings shrink for 2mm tubing from
SMC Corporation of America: "The KJ 2mm series of miniature one-touch fittings includes 13 different configurations".
In August 2006, we covered the news from MacDermid
concerning its Niklad ELV electroless nickels
- take a look at Electroless nickels cut out lead and cadmium
which says: "Niklad ELV electroless nickels are free from lead and cadmium giving full compliance with the ELV, RoHs and WEEE directives".
Take a look also at the news release from Belleville Springs, Surface treatments prolong disc spring life,
as well as Reliability and flexibility from actuators from Inmoco,
and Micron level accuracy from stage from Aerotech.
