Structure of Electrolytic Alloys

Electrolytic deposition of alloys at constant c.p. indicated that composition of the deposited alloys, remains unaffected during the period of electrolysis carried at c.p. only. Atomic structure of electrolytic alloys such as Cu-Zn, Ag-Cd deposited at c. p. has been compared with those of their thermal counterparts and the mechanism of phase transformation in these electrolytic alloys has been explained on the basis of the discharge of ions in an amorphous condition and in a state of high energy.
