The present invention deals with a process for deposition of indium or indium alloys and an article obtained by the process, wherein the process includes the steps i. providing a substrate having at least one metal or metal alloy surface; ii. depositing a first indium or indium alloy layer on at least one portion of said surface whereby a composed phase layer is formed of a part of the metal or metal alloy surface and a part of the first indium or indium alloy layer; iii. removing partially or wholly the part of the first indium or indium alloy layer which has not been formed into the composed phase layer; iv. depositing a second indium or indium alloy layer on the at least one portion of the surface obtained in step iii.
