Abstract
Abstract A bath and process for the electrodeposition of palladium-nickel alloys. The bath comprises sequestering agents for the metal ions therein. Examples of such sequestering agents are glycine, aminopropionic acid, glyoxylic acid, triethylene tetramine, beta-dihydroxyphenyl-alpha-aminobutyric acid, 5-keto-valerianic acid, acetone dicarboxylic acid, polyethylene polyimine and butanone-3-carboxylic acid. The bath has good stability and produces bright deposits.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
75 words
An aqueous ammoniacal bath for the galvanic deposition of a palladium-nickel alloy containing as its essential ingredients a palladium salt and a nickel salt in alloy-forming proportions, said palladium and nickel salts being present in the form of a complex with a complexing amount of at least one sequestering agent selected from the group consisting of glycine, aminopropionic acid, glyoxylic acid, triethylene tetramine, beta-dihydroxyphenyl-alpha-aminobutyric acid, 5-keto-valerianic acid, acetone dicarboxylic acid, polyethylene polyimine, and butanone-3-carboxylic acid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
75 words
An aqueous ammoniacal bath for the galvanic deposition of a palladium-nickel alloy containing as its essential ingredients a palladium salt and a nickel salt in alloy-forming proportions, said palladium and nickel salts being present in the form of a complex with a complexing amount of at least one sequestering agent selected from the group consisting of glycine, aminopropionic acid, glyoxylic acid, triethylene tetramine, beta-dihydroxyphenyl-alpha-aminobutyric acid, 5-keto-valerianic acid, acetone dicarboxylic acid, polyethylene polyimine, and butanone-3-carboxylic acid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
A bath according to claim 1 containing polyethylene polyimine and at least one additional sequestering compound.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
45 words
In a method for the galvanic deposition of palladium-nickel alloys from an ammoniacal bath containing said metals according to claim 1, the improvement which comprises providing the metal in solution as a chelate compound comprising the metal and a sequestering agent according to claim 1.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
The method of claim 3 wherein the metal is sequestered by polyethylene polyimine and another sequestering agent selected from the group consisting of glycine, aminopropionic acid, glyoxylic acid, triethylene tetramine, beta-dihydroxyphenyl-alpha-aminobutyric acid, 5-keto-valerianic acid and butanone-3-carboxylic acid.
