The effect is associated with the formation of surface oxy-hydroxide and hydrogenated layers. For electrodeposition of Fe–W and Co–W alloys from a citrate bath, it is established that a change in VCD at a definite value for current density of electrodeposition results in changes in the electrode potential, current efficiency, and alloy composition.
