Abstract

In the presented paper the authors attempted at analyzing the selected properties of silver coatings processed with electrochemical method on brass elements. The conducted research indicates that changes in cathode current density in the range 100 A ・ dm-2 to 333 A ・ dm-2 and the process time in the range of 60 s to 120 s have no effect on the basic properties of the obtained silver coatings (microhardness, corrosion resistance, adhesion), but it only seems to affect their appearance.

Keywords
