Abstract

Beschrieben wird ein Verfahren zur galvanischen Abscheidung von Nickel, Kobalt, Nickellegierungen oder Kobaltlegierungen in einem galvanischen Bad (1) unter Verwendung eines Nickelverbindungen oder Kobaltverbindungen enthaltenden Elektrolyten, wobei zur Abscheidung mindestens eine Anode (3,3a,3b) und mindestens eine Kathode des Bades (1) mit periodischen Strompulsen (Pulse Plating) beaufschlagt wird. Das Verhältnis IA/IC aus Anodenstromdichte IA zu Kathodenstromdichte IC wird dazu größer als 1 und kleiner als 1,5 gewählt, und das Ladungsverhältnis QA/QC=(TA·IA)/(TC·IC) der während eines Anodenpulses der Dauer TA transportierten Ladung QA zu der während eines Kathodenpulses der Dauer TC transportierten Ladung QC beträgt zwischen 30 und 45. Ein Bad zur Durchführung des Verfahrens weist insbesondere konturierte Anoden (3,3a,3b), Stromblenden (5), eine Reinigungseinrichtung (6) für den Elektrolyten und eine Umwälzeinrichtung (13) mit einer Rückführung des Elektrolyten durch Düsen (7) auf.
