9. Electroless nickel-boron plating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroless_nickel-boron...

   Electroless nickel-boron coating (often called NiB coating) is a metal plating process that can create a layer of a nickel-boron alloy on the surface of a solid substrate, like metal or plastic. The process involves dipping the substrate in a water solution containing nickel salt and a boron-containing reducing agent , such as an ...
