“…The corrosion behavior of electroless Ni‐P coatings is controlled by three main parameters: (i) to what extent the coating is amorphous, (ii) the percentage of phosphorous content, and (iii) the degree of internal stress. It is generally observed that electroless Ni‐P coatings are more corrosion resistant when they are amorphous , , . Such behavior has been attributed to the features of the amorphous state, a homogeneous structure and absence of grain boundaries, dislocations, kink sites and other surface defects , .…”
