Abstract
In studies of the use of pulsed current (PC) or asymmetric AC in place of DC in electrodeposition, considerable attention has been devoted to the effects of PC upon the widely applied hard gold coatings normally deposited by DC from acid cyanide electrolytes containing cobalt or nickel. The authors of this article compare the properties of gold foils produced by PC, asymmetric AC and DC plating from a cyanidecitrate-sulphate electrolyte in the absence of alloying metals.
