Abstract:The electroplating of copper on Cu-Zn alloy substrates (brass) is normally carried out using alkaline cyanide baths. However, cyanide copper baths are toxic, requiring care with regard to the environment and the health of the worker. This work studies the modeling and optimization of the electrodeposition of copper on a brass substrate using an electrolytic bath containing cyanide-free glycerol. A central composite experimental design was carried out to evaluate the effects of the factors glycerol concentratio… Show more
