The interest for the electroplating of CuNi and its multiple layers is proportionate to the properties of these materials, such as: mechanical resistance to corrosion, mechanical (high tractive force, malleability and ductility) and magnetic properties, beyond its catalytic properties. The voltammetric results suggest that CuNi is electroplated, forming a solid solution. By cyclic voltammetry, the influence of different electrolytic bath in the electroplating of CuNi was investigated, where if it observed the formation of more noble alloys in sulphate baths and tartarate and less noble alloys in citrate and citrate/tartarate medium. Hydrodynamic experiments had been carried through, where it was verified for CuNi in sulphate and tartarate a transport of diffusional mass; for CuNi in citrate and citrate/tartarate was not observed the formation of diffusional plateau, suggesting a transport of mass by charge transference. By dispersive energy of rays-X, the atomic percentage of the constituent of the alloy was determined, where CuNi alloy in sulphate bath and tartarate present a percentage of nickel about 20% and in citrate and citrate/tartarate medium, the percentage of nickel falls espectively for 2% and 4%. By spectrometry of absorption of UV-Vis it was calculated the _ values for individual metals and CuNi, being found low values, indicating that as much the individual metals as the alloy in the different electrolytic transitions d-d type. It was made a comparative study between the electrochemical techniques (Linear Sweep Voltammetry, Chronoamperometry) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES), for copper determination. The copper taxes determined for both methods are near, presenting small variations, where the gotten errors are distributed in a random way presenting an average value of 2,56%. The carried through statistical tests had shown that the gotten results are in a reliable band of 95%. Based in these results it is possible to affirm that the used electrochemical techniques are efficient in the copper determination, making possible, thus, the validation of these for ICP-OES.
