- particularly advantageous properties of the deposited layer can be determined, in particular with regard to the strength and the extensibility.
- At least one contoured anode is used for the deposition, the contour of which is aligned with the contour of the deposition body on which the nickel, the cobalt, the nickel government or the cobalt alloy is deposited is.
- a contoured anode is used for at least one of the anodes located closest to the deposition body.
- the effect of contouring the anode is more pronounced than for more remote anodes, i. that anodes without contouring can be used for these more remote anodes, which may be more cost-effective and can be used independently of the specific shape of the deposition body.
- a contoured container permeable to the ions of the nickel or cobalt to be deposited or the nickel alloy or cobalt alloy and filled with bodies of nickel, cobalt or a nickel alloy or cobalt alloy may be used.

- Purification of the electrolyte take place alternatively or additionally during the deposition.
- filtering of the electrolyte for example by means of activated carbon filters, is provided for this purpose during the deposition on the one hand, and on the other hand foreign elements are removed from the electrolyte by a selective bath.
- a selective bath corresponds to a galvanic bath, in which a targeted separation of foreign elements and thus their removal from the electrolyte takes place by targeted control of the currents.
- the thus purified electrolyte then ideally contains only the desired elements, in the case of a nickel electrolyte then ideally only nickel or nickel alloys in the compounds mentioned above, in the case of a cobalt electrolyte ideally only cobalt or cobalt alloys in the compounds mentioned above ,
- the purified electrolyte is then returned to the galvanic bath.
- nozzles can now in particular be designed and arranged in the bath such that a circulation of the bath is favored by the nozzles and / or a flow of the electrolyte directed onto the deposition body is achieved.

- the inventive method is basically suitable for the production of different components that are later inextricably linked to other components, for example, to be welded.
- the method is particularly suitable for the production of components that are exposed to high loads. This applies, for example, to components for rocket engines, in which case in particular the application of the method for the production of injection heads and / or combustion chambers and / or thrusters for rocket engines is called.
- the method can also be used for other components that are subject to high loads in later operation, and therefore must have sufficient strength, but nevertheless should have sufficient extensibility, such as supporting mechanical structures, components for kilns or similar arrangements with high thermal stress, etc.
- the achievable strength as well as the extensibility of the deposited layer over a relatively wide range is adjustable, as will be explained in more detail below.
- This special galvanic bath can be used to implement a specific development of the aforementioned method.

- periodic current pulses which is known in principle from the cited prior art.
- Fig. 1 determines the dependence of the yield strength (0,2-proof stress) R p 0,2 .
- Fig. 2 shows schematically the construction of the bath for the realization of the invention, which is filled with an electrolyte as described above.
- a deposition body 2 such as a combustion chamber of a rocket engine in a bath 1.
- a coating for example, nickel galvanically generated.
- at least one anode 3 is embedded in the bath 1, wherein the anode 3 is contoured such that it is adapted to the contour of the deposition body 2.
- the contouring can be given only in one spatial direction, for example in the longitudinal direction of the anode 3, or it can also be provided in more than one spatial direction, for example additionally perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
- FIG. 3 shows a possible arrangement of several anodes 3a, 3b in a bath 1, wherein those anodes 3a, which are closest to the deposition body, are formed as contoured anodes, since there makes the positive influence of the contouring most noticeable.
- the more remote anodes 3b can be designed as universally usable, in the simplest case flat anodes, for which any standardized anode form can be used. Consequently, only the anode 3 a closest to the deposition body 2 may need to be adapted to the specific shape of different deposition bodies 2.
- This anode concept represents an optimization of the effect of the anodes 3a, 3b while maintaining a possible universal arrangement.
- the contoured anode 3 in Fig. 2 is formed by a contoured container 8, which is formed for example as a titanium basket and therefore permeable is for the necessary for the deposition of nickel ions.

- the current apertures 5 which shield certain areas of the deposition body 2 at least during part of the deposition process.
- the edges of the deposition body 2 are shielded, since in these areas without shielding an increased deposition of the nickel would take place and so an inhomogeneous deposition would take place over the entire deposition body 2.
- the current apertures 5 should be provided as rings, which are arranged concentrically around the edge regions of the deposition body 2. By means of the current diaphragms 5, these regions can be shielded, at least over a certain time, so that a more homogeneous deposition over the entire deposition body 2 can be achieved over the entire deposition period.
- the deposition body 2 can be shielded analogously, the corresponding areas in which an increased deposition takes place, such as surveys. Thus, an otherwise lower deposition in other areas such as wells can be compensated.
- the current sheds 5 can for example be arranged displaceably or even completely removable in the bath 1, for which purpose suitable devices are to be provided.
- a cleaning device 6 is used to clean the electrolyte of interfering foreign elements and suspended particles during the deposition process and takes place with the aid of activated carbon filters 10 and a selective bath 11, in Fig. 2 only shown schematically.
- the discharge and return of the electrolyte in the bath is carried out by appropriate supply and discharge lines.
