Investigation of mirror bright metal coatings and electrolytically produced copper powders on turn of the century at Department of Electrochemistry, ICTM

Some fundamental and applied aspects of formation of mirror bright metal coatings and copper powder production by electrolysis are presented. These investigations are performed in a period between 1995 and 2000, at University of Belgrade, Institute of Chemistry, Technology and Metallurgy, Department of Electrochemisty, partly under supervisor of Prof. Dr. Miomir G. Pavlović, long-standing president of Serbian Society of Corrosion and Materials Protection (UISKOZAM). The coatings of chrome, copper and zinc are explored and the working conditions (the current density, temperature, the types of electroplating bath and cathode, addition agents for levelling and brightness, ...) which enable their mirror bright appearance were defined.
