Ionic Liquids - Unprecedented Prospects for Metal Deposition
Aluminium Processing
The high electrochemical stability of ionic liquids allows electrochemical deposition of less noble metals like aluminum or titanium, which is not possible with conventional aqueous electrolytes. Examples:
electroplating of aluminum onto steel
electroplating of chromium
electropolishing of steel and other metal surfaces
Electroplating of Aluminium onto Steel
"Ionic Liquids can be specifically modified by additives to high performing electrolytes in electroplating processes for the galvano industry."

Aluminum Plating
Ionic liquids are sufficiently stable to allow electrochemical deposition of metals such as aluminum.
