Study of the electrodeposition process of NiFE alloys from chloride electrolytes: II

Abstract

The cathodic codeposition of nickel and iron from chloride solutions with organic additives (D-mannitol, citric or ascorbic acids) has been investigated. It was found that the ratio of the concentrations of iron and nickel in the deposit was always higher that c_Fe²⁺/C_Ni²⁺ in the electrolytes irrespective of the buffer capacity of the solution. The experimental results obtained did not confirm the theory of Dahms and Croll.
