Anew method for the determination of the ability of an electrolyte to distribute uniformly current density in an electrochemical cell is proposed. It is based on the comparison of the current in cells in which the electrode edges touch the cell side walls with the current in cells with different electrode edge – cell side wall distances. The effects of cell geometry process parameters and current density are discussed and illustrated using the results presented in the previous papers from this series.

Keywords: metal electrodeposition, electrochemical cell, current distribution.
