Abstract
Sintered iron specimens with a 9% porosity level were successfully coated by electroless nickel deposition using a hypophosphite bath. The problems encountered during the deposition process are discussed. Some important deposit characteristics such as composition, thickness, hardness, and adhesion strength of the deposit are also reported for both as deposited and coated specimens heat treated at 400°C for 1 h in a vacuum.
