Rapid electrodeposition of iron from ferrous chloride baths

Abstract

Ductile iron can be deposited from ferrous chloride solutions at current densities up to 30 amp/dm2 (280 ampjft2), which is several times the customary rate of iron deposition. The t emperature and acidity of the baths must be controlled within narrow limits. P age I. Introduchlon __ ___ __ _____________________________________________ 535 II.
