Abstract

A bath system for galvanic deposition of metals includes a solution containing at least one metal, especially a precious metal and/or precious metal alloy in the form of a water-soluble salt, at least one water-soluble protein material or amino acid and/or at least one water-soluble sulfonic acid, at least one water-soluble nitro-containing substance, at least one water-soluble surface-active agent and at least one vitamin. The bath system galvanostatically applies high quality layers with uniform quality. The bath system can be kept free of harmful substances such as cyanides, sulfites and hard complexing agents.
