Optimization of Tin Magneto Electrodeposition under Additive Electrolyte Influence Using Taguchi Method Application

Operational conditions of tin magneto electrodeposition were successfully obtained using Taguchi technique. The parameters which optimize using Taguchi orthogonal array were tin sulphate, sulphuric acid, gluconate concentrations and magnetic strength (Tesla). The gluconate in this process is additive electrolyte which acts as an inhibitor against corrosion. The effects of those parameters toward the fractal dimension of tin electrodeposits were studied in this research. The results show that microstructures of tin electrodeposit from magneto electrodeposition have a compact structure than the tin electrodeposits of conventional electrodeposition.
