Electrodeposition of nickel-cobalt-tungsten alloys containing 2-51% Ni, 18-79% Co, 5-62% W has been carried out from a citrate bath under different conditions of concentration of electrolyte, current density, pH, and temperature. Tungsten content in the deposit was found to increase with an increase in its content in the bath and also with an increase in pH, temperature, and current density. Surface morphology of the deposits was examined by scanning electron microscopy and crystal structure by x-rays. Microhardness of the deposits increased with an increase in tungsten content in the alloy. 1 Present address: Udai Pratap Postgraduate College, Varanasi, India.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
