A Mathematical Model for the Electrolytic Codeposition of Particles with a Metallic Matrix

Abstract

Over the last decade the general knowledge of the electrolytic codeposition of inert particles with metals has increased markedly, and a few models have been proposed. In this paper a new model that overcomes several of the shortcomings of the previously proposed models is developed starting from a statistical approach of the incorporation of particles. The validity of the new model is shown for two experimental codeposition systems, namely, from acidic sulfate baths and from additive‐free potassium cyanide baths.
