Is it true that electroless nickel-boron plating is effective as an alternative to hard chrome plating with Silvec's molds?

Q: Is it true that electroless nickel-boron (Elp-Ni-B) plating is effective as an alternative to hard chrome plating for molds? A: Electroless nickel-boron plating can achieve a hardness of 600-700 HV without heat treatment, which makes it a potential alternative to hard chrome plating for molds. However, the coating is closer to pure nickel and does not possess the same characteristics as hard chrome plating, so it goes without saying that thorough consideration is necessary beforehand.
