Patent ID: 8668817

Claim:
A method of plating metal alloys, comprising the steps of: immersing at least one electrically conductive cathode and one electrically conductive anode into an electrolytic solution and supplying a potential difference between said at least one electrically conductive cathode and one electrically conductive anode for the purpose of depositing a plurality of metals for forming an alloy on the cathode, the applied potential difference having a value that follows a predefined law over time; prior to immersing said cathode into the electrolyte solution, immersing a training cathode into said electrolyte solution and applying the potential difference between the at least one anode and training cathode such that when the concentration ratios of said metals in the solution do not change over time, the training cathode is removed from the solution and the cathode is inserted; and applying the potential difference until the deposition is complete.
