Abstract
Semibright (matte-gloss) coatings of nickel or nickel-cobalt are deposited on a metal substrate from a WATT'S-type, sulfamate or fluoroborate electroplating bath at a pH of 2.5 to 5.8, a temperature of 15.degree. to 70.degree. C and a current density of 0.5 to 20 A/dm.sup.2 in the presence of a substance which deposits with the metal and ensures a semibright or matte-gloss finish. The substances form in situ within the bath from a cationic or amphoteric first component and a second component consisting of an organic anion interactive with the first component to produce a flocculate.
