electrolityc nickel
electroless nickel
and finally electrolytic nickel
The thing is that the last layer (electrolityc nickel) is the one that comes off the substrate...
Thanks WKTaylor

Info to put you in context
- Some of the parts are too small to conduct the test since there are no proper area to perform it.
