Are there specifications or recommendations for electro-deposited tin-lead plating thickness on austenitic stainless steel that would provide a shelf life of 1 year? 6 months? Would 2 to 3 microns (78 to 118 micro-inches) 90/10 tin-lead over 1.27 mi

Why are you using stainless steel? Corrosion resistance? Can the stainless be gold plated? I think this can occur metallurgically. Maybe nickel first then gold. Why are you removing the nickel? Nickel is somewhat magnetic. Had an application onc
