Abstract
DURING electrodeposition in an ultrasonically agitated solution, the hardness of copper anodes increases, and sometimes they perforate in a nonuniform manner1. Deposits plated from electrolytes which have been subjected to ultrasound have a higher hardness than those produced from still solutions2,3. Here we report on the change in hardness of a wide range of metals
