Electroplating of nickel-copper alloys

Abstract

Nickel-copper alloy with 30% nickel has Monel like properties with excellent resistance to corrosion and erosion. This alloy deposited over steel substrate has been recommended as a cost-effective replacement for cast Monel for applications in different environment. This paper deals with investigations on the development of a stable bath for electroplating this alloy. A suitable bath is reported on the basis of Hull cell studies, plating experiments, determination of alloy plating efficiency and composition of the plated alloy. Effects of operating parameters on deposition characteristics and deposit properties are also reporte
