Abstract
This paper deals with a process for electroless brass plating on Zamak allo ys obtained by centrifuge casting for handicraft applications. This process is an alternative method to conventional electrolytic brass plating. Advan tages of the electroless process are cost reduction, process simplification , lower sensitivity of plating to the size of the workpieces and better col or uniformity.
