Hi, Hazel. Your question is too vague. Are you already doing it, but unsuccessfully? If so, what are the problems. Are you already successfully doing EN, but not on titanium? Are you a production plating shop or a researcher trying to do one?

Recognizing that a full in-depth response would take several book chapters if you are starting from scratch, I'd suggest that you try to get hold of ASM Metals Handbook Volume 5 "Surface Engineering" for the preparation of titanium and Mallory and Hajdu's "Electroless Plating" [on eBay , Amazon, or AbeBooks affil links] for the EN. Good luck.
