Deposition of Aluminum–Magnesium Alloys from Electrolytes Containing Organo-Aluminum Complexes

Organo-aluminum compounds have been used for many years as electrolytes in the coating industry. In this communication the development of a galvanic process for generating aluminum-magnesium coatings from organometallic electrolyte systems is reported as well as results on physical properties like adhesion, ductility and corrosion resistance.
