Structure and magnetic properties of electrodeposited Ni87.3Fe11.3W1.4 alloy

Effect of Microstructural Changes during Annealing on Thermoelectromotive Force and Resistivity of Electrodeposited Ni85.8Fe10.6W1.4Cu2.2 Alloy

“…This microstructure is the result of the high electrodeposition current density applied as well as of the presence of iron, copper, and, particularly, tungsten in the FCC crystal lattice of the solid solution of nickel [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]35].…”

“…The presence of tungsten, iron, and copper in the FCC solid solution of nickel inhibits crystalline grain growth [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Tungsten, iron, and copper cause an increase in the mean interatom distance in the FCC phase, resulting in the shift of peak maxima to lower 2 values.…”

“…Nickel/iron alloys have good mechanical, electrical, and magnetic properties and a high catalytic activity for some electrochemical reactions [5][6][7]. Alloying these alloys with small quantities of tungsten improves their thermal stability, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, microhardness, and high-temperature oxidation [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. NiFeW alloys may exhibit the key properties of NiW and FeW alloys while eliminating the unwanted properties of the two-component alloys.…”

“…The metallurgical fabrication of these nanostructured alloys is expensive due to tungsten's high melting point. Therefore, other procedures for their production have been developed, such as mechanical alloying, sputtering, or electrolytic deposition from water baths [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][25][26][27].…”

“…Nanostructured coatings and powders of nickel/iron/ tungsten alloys can be obtained by electrolysis from environmentally friendly citrate ammonia solutions [8][9][10][11]16]. Electrolysis can produce alloys that differ in microstructure and, hence, in electrical, magnetic, and mechanical properties, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance from those of the same chemical composition prepared by metallurgy routes.…”
