SELECTION OF OPTIMAL PARAMETERS OF A PULSATING CURRENT FROM ELECTRODEPOSITION OF CADMIUM(II) FROM A TRILONATE ELECTROLYTE.

A method is suggested for calculating parameters of a pulsating current upon electrodeposition of metals. Results are presented of the experimental confirmation of this method for the cadmium-plating process from a trilonate electrolyte. It was shown that microhardness of cadmium coatings increases with an increase in density of the pulse current. The use of a pulsating current makes it possible to lower the consumption of electrolytic cadmium due to deposition of coatings, more uniform in thickness, on irregularly shaped surfaces, and also to intensify the cadmium-plating process from a trilonate electrolyte.
