The effects of composition and concentration of sulfate bath on the cathodic polarization curves and on the internal stress of Ni-Cd electrodeposit have been investigated. Limiting current density (l.c.d.) for Cd2+ deposition is influenced by Ni2+ discharge, if [Cd2+]/[Ni2+]>12×10-2. In the bath concentration range where Ni2+ discharge has no influence on l.c.d. of Cd2+, the internal stress of electrodeposited alloys shows deflection of expansion, which is a typical property of Cd. In the concentration range where Ni2+ discharge has an influence on l.c.d. of Cd2+, on the other hand, the internal stress of electrodeposited alloys shows deflection of contraction, which seems to be interpreted in terms of an interaction between Cd2+ and Ni2+. However, in the case that [Cd2+]/[Ni2+]=12×10-2 the electrodeposited alloys show no deflection.
