TL;DR: In this paper, a measuring cell within which a sample is introduced from the galvanic bath is used to measure the current efficiency of a galvanic sample, and a negative voltage is applied at constant current during a first predetermined time during precipitating.
Abstract: A method for determining current efficiency in a galvanic bath employs a measuring cell within which a sample is introduced from the galvanic bath. In this sample, onto a preferably rotating electrode metal is precipitated. A negative voltage is applied at constant current during a first predetermined time during the precipitating. Thereafter, the precipitated layer is anodically eroded by use of a suitable electrolyte solution upon pole-reversal of the DC voltage. The current efficiency is then calculated.
TL;DR: A galvanic bath for the electrolytic deposit of gold-based alloys contains a cyanide complex of gold as discussed by the authors, as well as a depolarizing agent and/or an inorganic or organic brightening agent.
Abstract: A galvanic bath for the electrolytic deposit of gold-based alloys contains a cyanide complex of gold, a cyanide complex of copper, a cyanide complex of cadmium and a cyanide complex of zinc, and at least one complexing agent and one surface-active agent, as well as, if desired, a depolarizing agent and/or an inorganic or organic brightening agent. This bath functions in the presence or in the absence of free cyanide.
