ABSTRACT
Over the last decade the general knowledge of the electrolytic codeposition of inert particles with metals has increased markedly, and a few models have been proposed. In this paper a new model that overcomes several of the shortcomings of the previously proposed models is developed starting from a statistical approach of the incorporation of particles. The validity of the new model is shown for two experimental codeposition systems, namely, Cu-A1203 from acidic sulfate baths and Au-Al~O3 from additive-free potassium cyanide baths.
