ABSTRACT: Conditions of gallium
plating of metal electrodes were studied in the paper. It was found that
stability of gallium cover depends on the material and is increasing in the
raw: stainless steel 08Х18Н12Т 36Ni64(Ga Ni2) compound and gallium with
copper form CuGa2compound. Different acids were used for electrode
leaching: H2SO4; HNO3; H3PO4;
HCI. It was shown that only hydrochloric acid is suit-able for gallium plating of the electrodes.
