Abstract
The application of a periodically changing current in metal electrodeposition practice leads to improvements in the quality of electrodeposits. Three types of current variation have been found useful: reversing current (RC), pulsating current (PC), and sinusoidal, alternating current superimposed on a direct current (AC) [1–12]. The schematic presentation of the different current regimes of electrolysis is shown in Fig. 4.1. Also, the beneficial effects of pulsating overpotential (PO) have also been discussed [3]. Even though this kind of electrodeposition at a periodically changing rate (EPCR) is important from a theoretical point of view and offers a variety of experimental possibilities, it is as yet not frequently used in metal electrodeposition practice.
