Abstract
Printed electrical circuits are formed by coating an electrically insulating substrate with a layer of nickel metal followed by electroplating a second metal layer in a pattern of the desired circuit. Exposed nickel is removed from the substrate by reacting it with carbon monoxide to form nickel carbonyl vapor while the second metal remains unreacted. The nickel carbonyl vapor is heated to form nickel metal and carbon monoxide.
