Copper was electrodeposited from additive-free acid sulfate baths on nickel (passivated in chromate solution for each run) or SUS304 substrate, the surfaces of which were engraved with 41 parallel lines at 0.25mm intervals. Tension tests were made on the copper foil obtained, and measurements were made of total elongation (gauge length=10mm) E, elongation for gauge length of 2.5mm including point of rupture) E
3, and the maximum elongation at the rupture point E
1. Observations with SEM and X-ray diffraction were also made. Constant linear relationships were found between E
1, E
2 and E
3 regardless of bath composition, current density and foil thickness, though these relationships depended on the shape of the tensile specimen. For electrolytic copper foil 25-35μm thick, tensile strength and E
3 were 30-40kg/mm
2 and 15-25% respectively. For thicker foils, tensile strength was lower and elongation values were higher.
