I am trying to plate 400 series stainless steel (I believe it is 416) with Electroless Nickel/Boron Nitride. The problem is it is smutting, and comes out of the Wood's nickel strike black.
1. Soak clean in a Sp degreaser Alkaline based
2. Rinse in DW
3. 50% HCl dip 1 min (the part never stops gassing)
4. Rinse in DW
5. Woods Nickel Strike (part starts to gas before power is connected)
