There can be immersion Lead, but not electroless.

The difference is that immersion plating does a substitution of the metal in
solution, in this case Lead, for whatever the substrate is, say Copper.  The
implications are that immersion plating stops when the substrate is completely
covered, and thus tends to be thin, but also can be more uniform, and pore
free than electroless, at least for a given thickness of metal.

Ain't a whole lot of development work going on these days on Lead plating, but
we have some skeletons in our closet.  What metal do you want to plate on too?

Why not contact me directly, and not via Technet.
