Abstract

AbstractThe electrodeposition of cobalt‐nickel alloys has been studied from ammoniacal single‐complex baths containing 5–50 CoSo4·7H2O, 5–50 NiCl2·46H2O, 20–50 g dm−3 (NH4)2SO4 and 250–350 cm3 dm−3 NH4OH (20.5% solution). The effects of the plating current density and the concentrations of the bath constituents on the cathodic polarisation, current efficiency and composition of the alloy were investigated. A wide range of alloy compositions with a current efficiency of 60–80% could be obtained from the main baths examined. The alloy plating system interchanged between the normal and the anomalous types depending upon the plating current density and the concentration of NH+4 ion in the bath. Electron microscopic and X‐ray diffraction studies proved that the structure of the electrodeposited alloy was controlled by the alloy composition.
