Martens Micro Indentantion Study of Ni Galvanic Deposition

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of process parameters (current density, temperature and pH) on the mechanical properties of galvanic deposition of nickel with Martens hardness test. Analyzing samples obtained by galvanic deposition process using Martens hardness we could show that there are significant differences between the technological parameters of the deposits made and we could find related to the deposition parameters in order to have a galvanic deposition expected outcomes. In the paper are presented in comparison parameters can be obtained by Martens hardness, such as hardness layer, elasticity modulus E IT , mechanical work of deformation and the ratio of elastic deformation energy and the
