Platinum electroforming and platinum electroplating
First Claim
1. A method for preparing a platinum product having a hardness in excess of 100 Hv consisting essentially of electrodepositing a layer of platinum material onto a die having a pre-determined shape, in a platinum electrolytic bath, with said die having been coated with a release material, wherein the platinum electrolytic bath comprises:
- at least one compound selected from the group consisting of chloroplatinic acid, chloroplatinates of alkali metals, hydrogen hexahydroxoplatinate, and hexahydroxoplatinates of alkali metals, 2-100 g/l as platinum;
a hydroxylated alkali metal, 20-100 g/l; and
a soluble carboxylate;
and releasing said layer of platinum material from the die.
