“…The nickel and refractory metal (Mo, W) based alloy nanostructures are known to exhibit a superior mechanical and chemical properties [16]. Ni-W alloys are useful for high temperature applications [17], lithographic galvanic deposition technique (LGDT) [18], micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) [19,20], electrocatalyst [21,22], corrosion protection [23][24][25], hydrogen energy [26][27][28], wear resistance [25,[29][30][31][32], biofuel [33] etc. Recently reported that, the Ni-W alloy electroplating is the substitute for environmentally harmful hexavalent hard chromium electroplating process because of their unique properties such as high hardness, wear and corrosion resistance [34].…”
