ELECTROLYTIC PROCESS FOR DEPOSITING A LAYER OF COPPER ON A STEEL WIRE

摘要

An electrolytic process for depositing copper on a steel wire in which the wire travels through an acidic electrolytic bath of an aqueous solution of Cu<2+> ions in the form of a salt of an acid. A direct electric current passes through the solution between at least one anode and the wire acting as cathode. The bath also has from 1.9 to 6 mM/l of a thiourea and from 1.9 to 6 mM/l of an amino acid.
