BISMUTH-NICKEL ALLOY DEPOSITION.

Recently the authors reported that bismuth-nickel alloys over a wide range of composition can be electrodeposited from aqueous solutions containing citrate complexes of the two metals, and that an increase in current density or nickel content of the solution increased the percentage of nickel in the alloy deposit. In continuation of these studies, the authors have examined the effect of agitation, temperature, pH and total metal concentration of the solution on the composition and appearance of the deposits, and the results are described in this communication.
