Abstract
An innovative and environmentally friendly procedure for electroless nickel plating on \AZ91D\ magnesium alloy was studied in the present paper. The composition of the alkaline and acidic fluoride-free baths and their plating process were investigated and discussed in detail. A double-layer coating was formed on \AZ91D\ magnesium alloy by alkaline and subsequent acidic plating. The inner alkaline layer was composed of Ni
