Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a rhodium electroplating bath to which a metal chloride is added to obtain a glossy coating.
- the problem of the present invention was to develop a bath from which glossy rhodium layers of over 0.2 mu thickness could be deposited.
- the rhodium electroplating bath for example can contain 2 to 10 grams per liter of rhodium phosphate, and 10 to 40 grams per liter of phosphoric acid or 2 to 10 grams per liter of rhodium sulfate and 20 to 60 grams per liter of sulfuric acid.
- chlorides were considered as disturbing impurities in rhodium baths which caused gray and matte coatings. It has now been surprisingly found that by the addition of chlorides of metals of main groups I and ll of the periodic system as well as aluminum chloride and/or chromium (lll) that it is possible to deposit glossy rhodium layers having a thickness of 1 my. (one millimicron) or greater from otherwise conventional rhodium electroplating baths. It has been found advantageous to have 0.1 to 5 grams/liter of chloride in the form of the named metal chlorides.
- metals of main groups I and II whose chloride can be used there may be mentioned sodium, potassium, lithium, rubidium, cesium, magnesium, calcium, strontium and barium.
- sodium chloride, potassium chloride, lithium chloride, rubidium chloride, cesium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, strontium chloride and barium chloride as well as the above-mentioned aluminum chloride and chromium (lll) chloride. It has been found especially advantageous to add either lithium chloride or magnesium chloride.
- the rhodium coatings can be applied to steel and other metals as well as other substrates conventionally coated with rhodium.
- An aqueous bath suitable for the electroplating of glossy rhodium coatings said bath containing either (a) 2 to 10 grams/liter of rhodium phosphate and 10 to 40 grams/liter of phosphoric acid or (b) 2 to 10 grams/liter of rhodium sulfate and 20 to 60 grams/liter of sulfuric acid and at least 50 mg/liter of a chloride in the form of a metal chloride or main group II of the periodic system, lithium chloride, aluminum chloride or chromium (lll) chloride.
- a bath according to claim 1 wherein the amount of chloride is between 0.1 and 5 grams/liter.
- An aqueous bath according to claim 1 suitable for the electroplating of glossy rhodium coatings said bath containing (1) either 2 to 10 grams/liter of rhodium phosphate and 10 to 40 grams/liter of phosphoric acid or 2 to 10 grams/liter of rhodium sulfate and 20 to 60 grams/liter of sulfuric acid and (2) at least 50 rng/liter of lithium chloride or magnesium chloride.
- An aqueous bath according to claim 6 containing 2 grams/liter of rhodium as rhodium sulfate, 40 grams/- liter of sulfuric acid and 1 gram/liter of chloride as magnesium chloride.
- a bath according to claim 1 wherein the chloride is a metal chloride of a main group ll metal.
- a bath according to claim 1 wherein the chloride is chromium (lll) chloride.
- a bath according to claim 1 wherein the chloride is aluminum chloride.
- a bath according to claim 1 wherein the amount of chloride is from 50 mg/liter to 10 grams/liter.
