  • Patent number: 4160709
    Abstract: A method for galvanic deposition of nickel from an electrolyte containing nickel sulfamate and nickel chloride is disclosed wherein the formation of intermediate products resulting from the oxidation of nickel sulfamate and the escape of anode sludge into the electrolyte are controlled to such an extent so as to reduce the amount of sulfur incorporated in the deposition to less than about 15 ppm.This results in avoidance of brittleness in the nickel deposition at high temperatures and allows the coated article to be welded. These properties were difficult or impossible to obtain in the prior art processes.

  • Patent number: 4156306
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a regeneratively cooled rocket combustion chamber which includes a thrust nozzle portion connected to a combustion chamber portion and which is constructed with cooling channels which extend in the longitudinal direction between an inner shell or wall having a smooth interior surface and an outer shell or wall and which are laterally bounded by radially extending webs, comprises forming the inner shell along with the cooling channel webs by electrodepositing metal on an electroplating core which is made up of chemically dissolvable material and has its outside contour conformable to the inside contour of the inner wall of the combustion chamber which is provided with radially extending projections forming mold blades for the webs defining the lateral boundaries of the cooling channels. Thereafter, the cooling channels are filled with a multiple electrically well-conducting filling material up to the level of the outer ends of the webs after these outer ends have been finish turned.
