Electroplated nickel plating, characteristics

Many metals are made by electrodeposition. Several metals are prepared by electrolysis in molten salts (Section 7.6). A variety of plating processes have been developed for the metals deposited by electroplating. Quite different, usually aqueous, electrol54es are used. Each electrolyte has characteristic features and produces deposits with quite different properties. As an example, some electrolytes for the plating of copper will be described. Other important plating processes, e.g., zinc, nickel, tin, and lead, are described in detail in the literature. ...
