Tests were made on the structure of CuCd alloys obtained on single crystal copper cathodes with surfaces parallel to the (111), (110) and (100) planes. X‐ray phase identification indicated the presence of α‐phase in the form of a solid solution of cadmium in copper. In the low cathode potentials range alloy crystallite orientation is governed by twinning on the {111} planes of crystallites of epitaxial orientation relative to cathode surface. The surface morphology of alloys obtained up to potential −490 mV depend on cathode type. Above this potential value alloy surface morphology is determined by potential at which it is obtained.
