Ho PCB, nickel e sebelisoa e le seaparo sa substrate sa litšepe tsa bohlokoa le tsa motheo. Ka nako e ts’oanang, bakeng sa liboto tse ling tse hatisitsoeng ka mahlakoreng a le mong, nickel e boetse e sebelisoa ka tloaelo e le lera la holimo. E latelang, ke tla arolelana le uena likarolo tsa PCB tharollo ea nickel plating

1. Letsoai le ka sehloohong: nickel sulfamate le nickel sulfate ke tsona matsoai a ka sehloohong tharollo ea nickel, e fanang ka li-ion tsa tšepe tsa nickel tse hlokahalang bakeng sa ho roala nickel hape li bapala karolo ea letsoai la conductive. Ka letsoai le phahameng la nickel, ho ka sebelisoa matla a mangata a cathode hona joale, ‘me lebelo la deposition le potlakile. Hangata e sebelisoa bakeng sa ho roala nickel ka lebelo le phahameng. Likahare tse tlase tsa letsoai la nickel li lebisa ho sekhahla se tlase sa deposition, empa bokhoni ba ho hasana bo botle haholo, ‘me ho ka fumanoa litlolo tse ntle le tse khanyang tsa kristale.

2. Buffer: asiti ea boric e sebelisoa e le tšireletso ho boloka boleng ba pH ba tharollo ea nickel plating ka har’a mefuta e itseng. Boric acid ha e na ts’ebetso ea pH buffer feela, empa hape e ka ntlafatsa polarization ea cathodic, e le ho ntlafatsa ts’ebetso ea ho hlapa.

3. Anode activator: nickel anode e bonolo ho feta nakong ea matla. E le ho etsa bonnete ba ho qhibiliha ho tloaelehileng ha anode, palo e itseng ea anode activator e eketsoa tharollong ea plating.

4. Tlatsetso: karolo e ka sehloohong ea motsoako ke moemeli oa khatello ea kelello. Li-additives tse sebelisoang hangata ke naphthalene sulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonamide, saccharin, joalo-joalo.

5. Moemeli oa ho kolobisa: e le ho fokotsa kapa ho thibela ho hlahisa li-pinholes, ho lokela ho ekeletsoa motsoako o monyenyane oa ho kolobisa, joalo ka sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium diethylhexyl sulfate, sodium octyl sulfate, joalo-joalo.
