Theory and practice of electroplating of metals

The monograph is an educational and reference manual containing comprehensive information as the most important problems of electrochemistry of metals and on topical issues of practical galvanotechnics, including functional properties and the structure of galvanopy. The current state of the theory of electrode processes, the nucleation and growth of crystals, the formation of alloys and the inclusion of impurities, the influence of glossing and leveling additives, the flow of current distribution over the surface, the advantages and disadvantages of various types of coatings from metals and alloys, is given a formulation of modern electrolytes. The reader will find detailed information on the methods of preparation of solutions, operation modes, features of electroplating baths, new technological processes, as well as the role of the main components, impurities and additives, methods for controlling the physical properties and structures of galvanopy.
For students, graduate students, researchers in the field of electrochemistry and physicochemistry, developers of new materials and technologists in electrochemistry, mechanical engineering, instrument making and electronics
