This report describes the effects of both trivalent chromium content in the chromium bath and current density on the preparation of the electrodeposited amorphous chromium and describes the preparation of electrodeposited amorphous chromium binary alloys. The amorphous chromium bath was prepared by using the Cr-W alloy bath without W ions as a basic bath. Amorphous Cr film was
This report describes the crystallization processes of the amorphous Cr and the amorphous CrMo binary alloys which were prepared by the electoroplating method. The crystallization processes of the amorphous Cr and the amorphous Cr-Mo binary alloys were investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The crystallization onset temperature of the amorphous Cr, Cr-2.3at% Mo, and Cr-5.2at% Mo alloys were 773K, 838K, and 878K, respectively.The rise of crystallization onset temperature by the addition of Mo indicated that the molybdenum contributed to the thermal stability of the amorphous Cr. The cubic crystals of about 30nm diameter, which were the b.c.c. chromium single crystals consisting of six {001} planes, precipitated in the initial crystallization stage of the amorphous Cr. In the perfectly crystallized chromium film, numerous micro twins were observed in the original amorphous region which the cubic crystals did not precipitate.The crystallization process of the Cr-2.3at% Mo alloy was similar to that of the amorphous Cr except for the next two phenomena.The one phenomenon was that the size of precipitated cubic crystals was about 80nm diameter, and the other was that density of micro twins was more than that of the amorphous Cr. It was found from the measurement of lattice constants that the crystals precipitated in Cr-Mo alloys were stable solid solutions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
