Good Morning All,

I have a limited budget and want to buy a good reference about plating.  Can
anyone recommend a good text book covering the design considerations with
respect to the selection of plated finishes for electronic applications -
preferably something in print?  Is there a good resource that covers such
things as solderable finishes on various base metals, preservative coatings,
appropriate barrier layers, finish selection for connector contacts, tin
whiskers, fretting corrosion,  etc.

Your recommendations will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance for
your help.

Mary Davis
