Abstract: This paper introduces the chemical dynamics mechanism during an electroless plating process of silver on the mixture of WC, TiC, C powders. The reaction rate of electroless plating is determined by the pH value. A kinetic equation is derived from the curves of pH measurements versus time at different temperat
ures, i.e. c=c0e-kt.

Key words: electroless plating, kinetics, silver-based electric contact material
