Ni - Sn alloys were electrodeposited from acidic chloride-sulphate solution in potentiostatic and galvanostatic conditions. Cyclic voltammetry and Hull cell were used for the selection of the appropriate deposition potentials and cathodic current densities, respectively. In the potentiostatic conditions (-1.0 - -1.2 V vs. Ag/AgCl) porous deposits (~7-10 wt% Ni) were obtained, while dense coatings (~15-34 wt% Ni) were produced in the galvanostatic conditions (0.5-1.5 A/dm2). In both cases, deposits consisted of β - Sn and Ni3Sn4 phases. Speciation of the bath was also calculated.
