Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0384679A1] A gold-copper alloy of good corrosion resistance is electrolytically deposited from a bath containing a cyanide compound of gold (e.g. KAu(CN)2), a cyanide compound of copper and tellurium or bismuth in the form of a soluble salt (e.g. sodium tellurite), the bath being substantially free of any other metal in an electrolytically depositable form. The bath generally also contains a cyanide salt (e.g. KCN) and may also contain a surface-active agent. Foreign metals, e.g. zinc, may be chelated or complexed to prevent deposition thereof.
