Metal composites electroplating

Cadmium, cobalt, copper, and nickel sulfamates react with lower aHphatic aldehydes. These stable compositions are suitable for use ia electroplating solutions for deposition of the respective metal (see Electroplating). 

Titanium is a very difficult metal to electroplate because of the presence of an oxide film. Sophisticated pretreatments with acids to remove the oxide film are necessary to achieve good adhesion. Improvements in the level of adhesion can, however, be obtained by heat treatment of the resultant Pt/Ti composites... 

One way to determine the metallic composition of an alloy is to use electroplating. Suppose an electrolytic cell is set up with solution of nickel ions obtained from a 6.753-g sample of a nickel alloy. The cell also contains a platinum electrode that has a mass of 10.533 g. Electric current is used to reduce the nickel ions to nickel metal, which is deposited on the platinum electrode. After being plated with nickel, the platinum electrode has a mass of 15.042 g. What is the percentage of nickel in the alloy ... 

Brazing of CoCr-alloys can be performed either in a hydrogen atmosphere or in vacuum. As filler metals Ni- or Co-base alloys or Au-Pd-alloys can be used. In order to achieve a better wetting by the filler metals an electroplating or flashing with Ni is performed. Copper filler metals should be avoided because of the danger of an embrittlement of the seam. Table lb.8 shows the compositions of a typical Co-base filler metal.

The metallic substrate, clean and rinsed, is immersed wet in the plating cell. The base metals which are usually plated present an essentially metallic surface to the electrolyte, and the slight corrosive action of the rinse water in preventing the formation of any substantial oxide film is important. A critical balance of corrosion processes in the initial stages is vital to successful electroplating, and for this reason there is a severe restriction on the composition of the electroplating bath which may be used for a particular substrate. This will be discussed later. The substrate is made the cathode of the cell it may be immersed without applied potential ( dead entry) or may be already part of a circuit which is completed as soon as the substrate touches the electrolyte ( live entry). Live entry reduces the tendency for the plating electrolyte to corrode the substrate in the period before the surface... 

Plating baths contain a number of salts and compounds in addition to those of the ion to be reduced to metal. Much commercial electroplating is from proprietary solutions whose use is covered by patents, and which are supplied completely or partly compounded. The precise composition is generally a trade secret, and the patents may sometimes be very widely drawn to include a larger range of compositions and ingredients than is successful. A broad classihcation of additional ingredients includes ... 

An alloy made up of tin and copper is prepared by simultaneously electroplating the two metals from a solution containing Sn(N03)2 and Cu(N03)2. If 20.0% of the total current is used to plate tin, while 80.0% is used to plate copper, what is the percent composition of tire alloy ...
