Hello Everyone, Perhaps any operators of an anodic protected electroless nickel bath can help a brother out? System has been up and running for about 10 months; problems with plate out onto steel liner in the last 2 months. After passivating and stripping nickel with nitric acid solution bath and anodic protection works fine for about 3 operating days, then current flows above 1.5 amps and plate out ensues (at this point the current increases as the bath temp increases). I have contacted device manufacturer and the chemistry vendor, but would appreciate any suggestions from my colleagues. Thanks in advance, Russell Burdick Process Engineer 602-276-1600 _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt delivery of Technet send the following message: SET Technet NOMAIL Search previous postings at: www.ipc.org > On-Line Resources & Databases > E-mail Archives Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
