Electrolytic deposition of metals on aluminium and its alloys

The directions of the development of the technology for the deposition of galvanic coatings on aluminium and its alloys are examined. Attention is concentrated on the immersion method with preliminary contact segregation of metallic films, which has nowadays found the greatest practical application. Studies in the theory and practice of the electrodeposition of metals on preoxidised aluminium and also the direct deposition of galvanic coatings, whose main advantage is its universality and the simplicity of the technological process, are considered. The bibliography includes 239 references.
