Electrodeposition

Influence of bath temperature and deposition time on hardness and magnetisation of electrodeposited Nickel Manganese Tungsten thin films

“…The electrodeposition of semiconductors, metals and alloys has established an extensive utilize in the fabrication of micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) for the past decades. Ni and its high strength alloys employ more useful materials for MEMS application due to their vast usage in the form of mechanical and magnetic elements such as motors, precision gears, latches, flexure spring arms, high density recording media, a magnetic shield, high performance transformer cores and magnetic actuators [1]. Electrodeposition is simple, rapid and inexpensive method for preparing nano structured metal and alloy as thin films [2][3][4].…”

Electro-Deposition of Cu on Open Cell Aluminum Foams

“…In this paper the copper electrodeposition was studied in order to improve the thermal properties of the aluminum foams used for heat exchanger applications. In literature there are many studies of electro-deposition [5] but the information about the deposition of copper on aluminum, in particular aluminum foams, is very poor. Electro-deposition is a very versatile technique for the coating of mainly metallic substrates [5].…”

Electro-deposition is a very versatile technique for the coating of mainly metallic substrates [5]. It can even be applied on very complex geometries [5][6][7][8].…”

“…Electro-deposition is a very versatile technique for the coating of mainly metallic substrates [5]. It can even be applied on very complex geometries [5][6][7][8]. The open cell metal foams, which were employed in this study, were produced by the method of replication of polymeric patterns [1].…”

“…Open cell metal foams have a very complex structure. This aspect causes strong limitations in mass transport due to electro-deposition technology [5]. In this paper, experimental tests were performed to study the influence of the operational parameters of electro-deposition process on the overall performance of the coated aluminum foams.…”
