Abstract

The codeposition of some elements with lead from fluoborate baths has been studied in order to obtain lead alloys with a low concentration of a second metal. The metals considered were As, Bi, Cu, Sb, Se, Sn and Te. The chemical analysis of alloys obtained in various electrolysis conditions permitted an investigation of the kinetic behaviour of the metals codeposited with lead. The results showed that only Bi, Sb, Se and Te attain a limiting value of discharge current density and that the codeposition is regular for all metals. SEM observation of the deposits revealed that Sb and Se have a marked influence on the crystal morphology while the remaining metals induce only minor modifications.
