Abstract
The only two practical lead plating baths are the fluosilicate and the fluoborate. The former is standard in electrolytic lead refining; the latter is preferred in plating lead on steel and other metals. Although the fluoborate bath is more expensive than the fluosilicate the lead deposits are finer grained and the bath is less susceptible to decomposition. Full directions are presented for the preparation, operation and control of the two baths. Instructions are also given in the testing of the lead plate produced. For satisfactory protection of steel the lead coating must be practically pinhole‐free. A short account covering the deposition of lead‐tin alloys is appended. The alloy plates are finer grained than the plates of either metal alone.
