Electropolishing in Cyanide Electrolytes

Abstract: Mirrorlike polished surfaces can be obtained on silver, sterling silver, gold alloys, copper, and brass by electropolishing in cyanide electrolytes. The optimum current density and agitation rate to obtain a brilliant polish varies widely with the metal being polished. For silver and silver plate a current density range of 1.1–2.8 ASD at 45 cm/min is necessary; for copper and brass the range is 2–8 ASD at 1300–2600 cm/min. Agitation is not critical in gold alloy electropolishing because the very high current d… Show more

“…Following a preliminary annealing in flowing hydrogen at 500~ for 1 hr, the electrodes were electropolished in a cyanide bath (10). The electrolyte was saturated with Ag20 either by adding the powdered oxide into the electrolyte solution or by the anodic oxidation of the silver auxiliary electrode and subsequent agitation of the solution with the use of a mechanical shaker.…”

“…The test electrode was punched from 0.13 cm bright rolled silver sheet (99.95% pure) in the form of paddles with a blade approximately 2.54 X 0.63 cm and with a handle of 0.18 cm. Following a preliminary annealing in flowing hydrogen at 500~ for 1 hr, the electrodes were electropolished in a cyanide bath (10). They were rinsed in running distilled water and subjected to a further annealing in hydrogen at 500 ~ C for 1 hr.…”

“…Under low temperatures (<50 °C), the breakdown of the native Al 2 O 3 thin layer via the entire hydrolysis reaction is time consuming due to the unique chemistry involved. [ 13–17 ] Bunker and co‐workers quantitatively investigated the chemistry of hydration of the native Al 2 O 3 thin layer on aluminum using secondary ion mass spectrometry in conjunction with isotopic labeling. [ 18 ] Their experimental data indicated that hydroxide ions (OH − ) were the most prevalent product of the hydrolysis reaction of the native Al 2 O 3 thin layer.…”

“…USP elétrica) e superfície estável, que após pré-tratamento adequado pode ser empregado em sistemas de espectroscopia como FTIR in situ.Diferentes metodologias de preparo da superfície do Au são relatadas na literatura. Neste sentido, têm-se os pré-tratamentos mecânicos, químicos, eletroquímicos e a combinação destes[46][47][48] . A variação destas metodologias pode promover superfícies com variação de rugosidade e atividade catalítica diferente.…”
