摘要

PCT No. PCT/EP84/00223 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 11, 1985 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 11, 1985 PCT Filed Jul. 18, 1984 PCT Pub. No. WO85/00623 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 14, 1985.To metallize a preferably glass-like body with good adhesion of the metal, the glass-like body is coated with a thin layer of an indium-tin alloy, whereupon a catalytic germination layer is produced for currentless chemical metal precipitation by reducing a catalyst metal compound to the catalyst metal directly by the indium-tin layer or after the indium-tin layer has been reacted by salt formation or hydrolysis. After currentless chemical metallization, reinforcement may continue by electroplating with conventional metals.
