Topic: Iron determination in Nickel Sulfate

I would appreciate any help in locating a method for titrametric determination of Iron in a Nickel Sulfate bath.  I am trying to see if it is interfereing with my coating that I am applying electrolytically.  Thank you to all that can assist.

Re: Iron determination in Nickel Sulfate

I'm not sure if it can be done on the scale where iron normally causes plating issues in a nickel bath.  But I can be wrong.  When we plated nickel-iron, we used the AA.  When we check our normal straight-nickel bath for iron contamination, we use the AA again.  Your vendor should be able to run this for you if you can't.

In any case, what is the problem you are having that leads you to believe the problem is iron-related?
