Mr. Kalantary et al., THE PRODUCTION OF COMPOSITIONALLY MODULATED ALLOYS BY SIMULATED HIGH-SPEED ELECTRODEPOSITION FROM A SINGLE SOLUTION, Electrochimica acta, 40(11), 1995, pp. 1609-1616
Simulation of high speed electrodeposition, using a rotating cylinder
electrode, has been carried out in order to obtain an operating window
for applied current density and cathode electrode movement as a means
of agitation. The electrolyte used was based on an acid sulphate, zin
c-nickel alloy. Electroplating was carried out at room temperature in
the range of current density from 0.5-130 A dm(-2) and at cathode spee
ds of 0-1500 rpm on 99.5% purity iron tube. By assessing the deposit c
haracteristics in terms of appearance, composition, crystal structure
and corrosion resistance and correlating these results, it is possible
to predict the conditions for production of compositionally modulated
alloys from the simple zinc-nickel non-complexing electrolyte system.
