Electrodeposition of aluminium-magnesium alloys have been carried out onto platinum and copper cathodes from Lewis acidic aluminium(III) chloride-1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid containing magnesium(II) chloride by constant current and constant potential methods at room temperature. Magnesium content in the deposited alloy increases with increasing MgCl₂ concentration in the ionic liquid and with increasing cathodic current density. The influences of various experimental conditions on electrodeposition and the morphology of the electrodeposited layers have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX). On increasing the deposition current densities the dense, bright, adherent and smooth electrodeposited layers are obtained. The cathodic current efficiency for the deposition of Al-Mg alloys is about 99%. The electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) has been used to study alloy deposition. The composition of the metal co-deposit has been calculated from the slopes of the mass-charge (m-Q) plots of gravimetric acoustic impedance analysis.
