abstract = "Pure manganese coatings were prepared on the steel (AISI 4340) electrode by a non-conventional electrodeposition method, in the presence of 8 mol dm(-3) of urea as a plating additive. The influence of urea on the electrodeposition of Mn was investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The morphology of the coatings was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and their elemental composition by energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS). The results showed that the presence of urea in the solution increased the current efficiency for metal reduction for around 20%, and depending on the applied deposition potential, urea may act either as a complexing agent or through the adsorption mechanism. Moreover, urea improves the characteristics of Mn deposits, i.e. their adhesiveness, porosity, compactness, and appearance. Except for oxygen, as part of the Mn corrosion product at the coating surface, no carbon or nitrogen incorporation was detected in the deposits by EDS.",
