On the Electroplating of Fe-Cr-Ni Alloys from the Chloride-Glycine Baths Studies on the Polarization Behavior

Abstract

The polarization behavior of Fe-Cr-Ni ternary alloys electrodeposited on a Pt cathode from baths consisting of metal chlorides and glycine was investigated. Since hydrogen evolution predominated over metal deposition, the polarization curves were almost unchanged by metal deposition. Fe and Ni were deposited at relatively noble potentials, while Cr was deposited at the potential range of hydrogen evolution from water.
