Abstract (en)

Improvement of an electroless tin-plating method of articles of copper or of a copper alloy with a strongly alkaline solution which contains at least 0.20 mol/litre of bivalent tin ions and at least 1 mol/litre of alkalihydroxide at a temperature between 60 and 95 DEG C. The improvement consists of a pre-treatment with an acid solution of a bivalent tin salt and a complex former for Cu<+><+> and/or Sn<+><+> ions with which a layer of copper at the surface is exchanged for tin. The complex former preferably is thiourea.
