Electroplating alloys

The non-ferrous alloys include the misleadingly named nickel silver (or German silver) which contains 10-30% Ni, 55-65% Cu and the rest Zn when electroplated with silver (electroplated nickel silver) it is familiar as EPNS tableware. Monel (68% Ni, 32% Cu, traces of Mn and Fe) is used in apparatus for handling corrosive materials such as F2 cupro-nickels (up to 80% Cu) are used for silver coinage Nichrome (60% Ni, 40% Cr), which has a very small temperature coefficient of electrical resistance, and Invar, which has a very small coefficient of expansion are other well-known Ni alloys. Electroplated nickel is an ideal undercoat for electroplated chromium, and smaller amounts of nickel are used as catalysts in the hydrogenation of unsaturated vegetable oils and in storage batteries such as the Ni/Fe batteries. 

There has been some renewed interest in the use of tin-zinc alloy electroplate as a substitute for cadmium coatings on steel . It has been pointed out that tin-zinc coatings produce less loose corrosion product than zinc during full outdoor exposure...

The subject of alloy electroplating is being dealt with by an ever-increasing number of scientific publications (close to 200 in the last five years in the Journal of the Electrochemical Society alone ). The reason for this seems to be the vastness of the number of possible alloy combinations and the concomitant possible practical applications. 

Uses/Sources. Corrosion-resistant alloys, electroplating, production of catalysts, nickel-cadmium batteries nickel subsulfide (NisS2) is encountered in the smelting and refining of certain nickel ores and may be formed in petroleum refining from the use of nickel catalysts.

Zinc-nickel Zn-Ni alloys with 5 to 15 wt% Ni offer excellent corrosion resistance and are mainly used in the automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries. Above 15% Ni, the alloy coating becomes more noble than steel, and the corrosion-protection mechanism changes from a sacrificial to a pure physical one (comparable to pure Ni coatings, see Sect. 5.5.4.2.2). They can be electrode-posited from acid or alkaline baths. The acid baths are usually based on sulfate, chloride, sulfate-chloride, pyrophosphate, or acetate (Table 15). The system shows anomalous codeposition (see Sect. 5.5.1.2), which has been explained by a hydroxide suppression mechanism [47]. As in the case of Ni-Fe, the alkaline baths must contain complexing agents (see Sect. 5.5.4.6.2). The alloys electroplated from add haths contain approximately 10 to 14% Ni, whereas the alkaline Zn-Ni...
