Ds. Ambardekar et al., STUDIES ON ELECTRODEPOSITION OF COBALT IN AMMONICAL ACETATE BATH, Journal of the Indian Chemical Society, 73(9), 1996, pp. 476-477
A new alkaline bath for deposition of cobalt has been made from cobalt
hydroxide dissolved in solution of ammonium acetate. Various paramete
rs such as influence of concentrations of cobalt ions and ammonium ace
tate, pH, current density and temperature are reported. The proposed b
ath lowers the overall cost of electrodeposition and provides desired
level of quality of deposits. The deposits are adherent and stable to
prolonged atmospheric exposure.
