electroless
Chemical bath depositing
Electroless describes a method of metal plating that doesn't require an external electrical current.
In conventional electroplating, electric current drives metal ions onto a surface, but electroless plating uses a chemical reduction reaction instead, allowing the coating to deposit uniformly even on complex shapes and non-conductive materials.
The circuit boards underwent electroless nickel plating before final assembly.
The process is valued in electronics and engineering for producing consistent, corrosion-resistant coatings.
