Microstructure and mechanical properties in Co–Ni–Ga–Al shape memory alloys with two-phase structure

Different Electrodeposition Behaviors of Ni-Co Binary Coatings in Sulphate and Chloride Baths

“…Nickel and Cobalt binary films and their alloy coatings are very attractive for their applications in various industrial fields because of the high-strength, good wear resistance, heat-conductive, electrocatalytic activity and their utility as a soft magnetic film and shape memory alloys as a function of the obtained structure [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Among the various fabrication processes [7][8][9] , electrodeposition has proven to be one of the most effective methods in fabrication of metal and alloys coatings because of the easy control by changing the electrodeposition parameters without high temperature and high pressure.…”

“…In recent years, Zn-Mn [10], Zn-Co [11], Ni-Cu-Mo [12], Zn-Ni [13], Ni-SiC [14], Ni-CNTs [15], Ni-CeO 2 [16], Fe-Cr-P [17], bronze-graphite [18] have been prepared and studied by the electrodeposition process. Ni-Co films deposited from sulphate, citrate, acetate, chloride and gluconate baths were researched, respectively, Simultaneously, the anomalous codeposition investigated in the electrodeposition was reported and the possible explanations were introduced [5,19,20]. As we can seen from the articles, the codeposition behaviors, the degree of anomalous codeposition, microstructure and magnetic properties of the deposites electrodeposited from different baths were different.…”
