A plating cell was designed to provide a method for the variable rotation of a cylindrical cathode between rubber wiper blades, since wiping the cathode greatly increased the efficiency of the process for plating iron‐molybdenum alloys from a solution containing sodium molybdate, ferric chloride, and sodium pyrophosphate buffered to a pH of 8 with excess sodium bicarbonate. A complete study of the variables showed it possible to electrodeposit alloys which are bright and adherent in thicknesses of a few hundredths of a millimeter. No theoretical treatment is yet available to explain completely this type of deposition.
