ANELASTIC EFFECTS IN SINGLE CRYSTALS OF -Cu-Zn AND -Cu-Zn-Al ALLOYS

Electrodeposition of Zn, Cu, and Zn-Cu Alloys from Deep Eutectic Solvents

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) comprising choline chloride (ChCl) with either urea or ethylene glycol (EG) have been successfully used as powerful and potential electrolytes for extracting metals from their corresponding metal oxide precursors. In this work, for electrodeposition of Zn and Zn-Cu alloys, ChCl/urea-based DES was employed. Cyclic voltammetry study demonstrates that the reduction of...

Electrodeposition of Thin Film Cu-Zn Shape Memory Alloys

Cu-Zn alloys have been electrodeposited from a pyrophosphate electrolyte containing Cu2P207> Zn2P207 salts and an excess of K4P2O7 and KN03. Current-potential data for both copper and zinc, as well their plating current efficiencies were determined from electrochemical polarisation experiments. Copper deposition commenced at potentials below -0.208 V whereas zinc was deposited only below -1.157...

Electrodissolution of Cu-Zn Alloys in Acetate Media

A eletrodissolução de ligas de Cu-Zn, de diferentes composição química (CuZn37 e CuZn39Pb3) foi estudada em solução tampão de acetato, pH 5, através de medidas de potencial de circuito aberto e voltametria cíclica, sob condições estáticas e dinâmicas. A menor resistência à corrosão detectada nestas ligas, comparativamente ao Cu puro, foi atribuída à estrutura da camada anódica formada ZnO.x H 2...

Magnetoelasticity and Magnetoresistance in Cu–Al–Mn Shape-Memory Alloys

This paper is aimed at studying the effect of a magnetic field on the martensitic transition of a Cu–Al–Mn shape-memory alloy. The martensitic transition has been studied through resistance measurements under applied magnetic fields ranging from 0 to 50 kOe. Negative magnetoresistance showing an almost linear dependence with the square of the magnetization has been observed. This magnetoresisti...
