Nickel-Cobalt electroless solution


Is there any commercial solution for electroless plating of Cobalt-Nickel or Cobalt and where I can get it.

While there are a number of articles available about electroless cobalt plating, similar questions to yours have been asked a few times and haven't yet received a positive response. I guess I have to assume that, for some good reason, electroless cobalt isn't being widely marketed. If someone knowledgable in this issue would chime in and tell us why, I'd certainly like to hear a definitive response.

I know Enthone-OMI has developed an electroless nickel-cobalt. Enthone is now a subsidiary of Cookson Electronics.

Allied kelite developed a nickel-cobalt (electroless) used for magnetic recording. Macdermid now owns the formulas. If there is sufficient volume Macdermid may consider supplying a solution.
