Abstract
This invention discloses the plating of a metallic workpiece, particularly aluminum with a layer of tin. The plating is accomplished in the presence of sonic or ultrasonic vibrations at a temperature determined by the phase diagram for a binary alloy to provide for the presence of an alloy interface encompassing both metals. This contrasts with the heretofore achieved adhesive bond.
