Mechanical Property Evaluation of Electrodeposited Nanocrystalline Metals by Micro-testing

چکیده
Electrodeposition is a very important technology in the fabrication of micro-compo‐ nents for micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) or integrated circuits. Evalua‐ tions of the materials used in these devices as 3D components should be conducted using micro-sized specimens due to the sample size effect on the practical use of the components. Nanocrystalline metals could be deposited using an electrodeposition method with supercritical CO2 emulsion. Our experiment on the micro-specimens provides information on micro-mechanical testing of electrodeposited metals in‐ cluding the effect of sample size, grain size, and anisotropic structures on mechani‐ cal properties. In this chapter, recent studies on crystal growth in electrodeposition of metals and its evaluation using micron-sized testing will be presented.

Wear behavior of carbon steel electrodeposited by nanocrystalline Ni–W coating
Ni-W coatings, compared to pure nanocrystalline Ni, exhibit higher hardness and wear resistance. In some cases, these coatings are considered as environmental friendly alternatives for hard chromium coating. Till now, most of Ni-W coatings have been produced by direct current electrodeposition from alkaline baths. In this study square pulse current was used for deposition of Ni-W precipitates f...

Nanocrystalline materials are defined by their fine grain size, but details of the grain boundary character distribution should also be important. Grain boundary character distributions are reported for ball-milled, sputter-deposited, and electrodeposited Ni and Ni-based alloys, all with average grain sizes of ~20 nm, to study the influence of processing route. The two deposited materials had n...

Nanocrystalline 3mm thick Cu1–xNix (0.45 £ x £ 0.87) films are electrodeposited galvanostatically onto Cu/Ti/Si (100) substrates, from a citrateand sulphate-based bath containing sodium lauryl sulphate and saccharine as additives. The films exhibit large values of reduced Young’s modulus (173< Er< 192GPa) and hardness (6.4<H< 8.2GPa), both of which can be tailored by varying the alloy compositi...
