Isn't the nickle plated over the copper? I assume the copper is still
carrying the current and heat.
Say are ENIG boards magnetic at all?

The flaw there, is that the plating doesn't 'throw' as much
copper into small vias, both because the E-field at the
throat doesn't penetrate, and because the circumference is
less.
Got any actual data about that, or are you just guessing?
Field lines that put copper onto the sidewalls of a hole, are
radial inside the hole. The math of electric fields is my
reasoning, and complaints in the literature about plating inside
holes is supporting data (Printed Circuits Handbook, Clyde
Coombs is where I recall reading about this).
There are lots of PTH section images online, like this one:

The plating generally looks uniform, a bit thinner than the
surface
Nice pic. Typically aren't the inner layers 1/2 oz... It looks
like the hole has about the same thickness as the inner layers..
maybe a bit more.
If you get 2 oz copper on the outer layers, do they do that by
plating up from 1/2 oz? That would make the copper on the PTH's
thicker too.

Fuck Copper. Use ENIG.
Isn't the nickle plated over the copper? I assume the copper is still
carrying the current and heat.
