Mathematical Modeling of Electroless Nickel Deposition at Steady State Using Rotating Disk Electrode

Mathematical modeling of electroless nickel deposition was performed to predict the phosphorus content in Ni‐P alloy film at steady state using the rotating disk system. The model consists of steady‐state convective diffusion equations with nonlinear boundary conditions and overpotential equations satisfying the mixed potential theory. The weight percent of phosphorus predicted in Ni‐P alloy agrees well with the experimental values within the experimental conditions carried out.
