ASTM-B480 › Standard Guide for Preparation of Magnesium and Magnesium Alloys for Electroplating
The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
Scope
1.1 This guide describes two processes used for plating on magnesium and magnesium alloys: direct electroless nickel plating and zinc immersion. Some users report that the direct electroless nickel procedure does not produce quite as high a level of adhesion as zinc immersion.
1.2 This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific precautionary statements, see 5.1.1 and 5.2.9.2.
