Electrodeposition of basic compound of dysprosium from aqueous acidic baths has been carried out onto stainless steel, copper, brass, titanium and Indium-Tin Oxide (ITO) coated glass substrates. Oxalic acid is found to be a suitable complexing agent and the deposition potentials are found to be dependent on the nature of the substrate and complexing agent. Yellowish-gray coloured films of the thickness up to 0.25 microns have been deposited. Some of the preparative parameters are optimized.
