Abstract
Anodic current density influence of on current efficiency of iron (II) and iron (III) and on potential change of anodes from steel St.3, Armco-iron, pig-iron and graphite in chloride and sulfate iron plating elec- trolytes is studied. It is shown, that in chloride iron plating electrolyte it is possible to use all investigated materials, with the exception of graphite, as soluble anodes in a range of current densities of a 2−20 А/dm2. In sulfate iron plating electrolyte it is possible to use Armco-iron and steel St.3 as soluble anodes at current densities 2-5 А/dm2 and pig-iron at current density of approximately 2 А/dm2. Graphite can be used as the insoluble anode at current densities not higher than 2 А/dm2.
