Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0786539A2] The inventors disclose a process for reducing high current density edge buildup dendrite formation, edge burn, controlling high current density roughness, grain size, and orientation of a zinc coating obtained from an aqueous zinc acidic electrogalvanic coating bath comprising passing a high density current from a zinc anode in the bath to a metal cathode in the bath for a period of time sufficient to deposit a zinc coating on the cathode. The bath contains greater than about 5g/l of a water soluble zinc organosulfonate. A random or block polyoxyalkylene glycol homopolymer or copolymer based on 2 to about 4 carbon atom alkylene oxides. The inventors employ current densities from about 250 to about 4,000 ASF, and optionally, a sulfonated condensation product of naphthalene and formaldehyde, a boron oxide compound, and a lignin compound. The invention also comprises bath compositions.
