The Ni-P coatings were deposited on closed-cell aluminum foams substrate by electroless process. Electroless coatings cover the entire surface of the foams (thickness ∼30 μm) with a high corrosion resistance (corrosion current density 15.5 μA/cm2, as compared to the 308.8 μA/cm2 of as-received aluminum foams).
