The Chalkboard: Alloy Electrodeposition

Alloy electrodeposition was first developed in the 1840s at nearly the same time as metal deposition, with brass coatings being an early commercial application. Despite this long history, alloy electrodeposition continues to attract attention; the majority of the electrodeposition-related articles published by The Electrochemical Society are on alloys. The enduring interest in alloy electrodeposition is tied to the wide range and tunability of physical properties one can achieve by varying alloy composition.
