Several Ni-P/Cu multilayer films of various thicknesses were formed on polycrystalline copper substrates using electrodeposition in a single bath. The Ni-P/Cu bilayer films which were thinner than 50 nm exhibited higher wear resistance than that of a Ni-P single layer. The wear loss of the films decreased concomitantly with increasing Ni-P layer ratio in the Ni-P/Cu bilayer.
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.
