Process for the preparation of noble metal coated non-noble metal substrates, coated materials produced in accordance therewith and compositions utilizing the coated materials

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A multi-coating step immersion coating process for producing a coating of a noble metal on a non-noble metal substrate wherein the noble metal is of a predetermined amount expressed as a percent of the total weight of coated product, and wherein the non-noble metal substrate is in the form of fine particles or a powder is disclosed. The process also utilizes inter-plating step and post-plating step rising step sequences which together with the use of the plurality of coating steps consistently results in high quality product having a uniform coating excellent, corrosion resistance and excellent electrical conductivity. Use of the coated products produced according to the process in a …
