“…Some examples of electrodeposited composites containing an alloy matrix include a-Al 2 O 3 particles with a Cr-Ni alloy [7], a-Al 2 O 3 , and TiO 2 in NiCu [8] and our prior work with c-Al 2 O 3 in NiCu alloys [9,10]. The interest in NiCu alloy materials are well known for their corrosion resistance [2,[11][12][13][14][15], thermoelectrical [16,17], catalytic [18][19][20], and mechanical [8,21,22] properties. The electrodeposition of alumina particles in metal-matrix composites has also been widely studied [5,6] because alumina improves not only mechanical properties [4,23], but also thermal and mechanical stability at elevated temperatures [24].…”
