Abstract
A methanesulfonic electrolyte was formulated to produce bright tin-lea d coatings. Mathematical design of experiments and regression data ana lysis involving a quantitative estimate of coating quality by a method of expert assessment were employed. From the regression equations obt ained, the electrolyte composition and electrolysis conditions, which are recommended for producing bright tin-lead coatings with a preset c omposition, were optimized.
