Abstract

622,750. Electrolytic polishing of silver surfaces. WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC INTERNATIONAL CO. Oct. 3, 1946, No. 29509. Convention date, July 20, 1945. [Class 41] Surfaces of articles composed of silver or alloys having such a predominant amount of silver as to simulate pure silver in appearance and polish are polished by immersing the article in an alkaline aqueous electrolyte containing at least 5 grams/litre of silver cyanide and at least 5 grams/litre of free alkali metal cyanide and passing a periodically reversing current through the article while immersed in the electrolyte, the anode current through the article being not less than 30 amps/sq. ft. and increasing inversely to the anode time of the cycle, and the cathode current is so proportioned to the anode current that the product of cathode time and cathode current substantially equals the product of anode time and anode current. The electrolyte may also contain an alkali metal carbonate and an alkali metal hydroxide and should have a pH of 10 or higher. For any given value of the anode time, the anode current density should lie above the curve shown in Fig. 3. The polishing process may succeed the silver plating process in a cyanide bath utilizing the same bath.
