The process of the electrochemical deposition of an iron-tungsten alloy is investigated. It is established that, though the solution is prepared on the basis of compounds of Fe(II), stable deposition of dense deposits of the alloy begins only after a larger fraction of these compounds converts into compounds of Fe(III) as a result of oxidation by oxygen of air and anodic oxidation. The parallel evolution of hydrogen is accompanied by the process of incomplete reduction of iron ions. The current efficiency for the alloy in the working conditions exceeds 50%. The content of tungsten in the obtained alloys is weakly dependent on the current density and amounts to nearly 45% (by weight).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
