HIGH-STRENGTH NANOCRYSTALLINE Ni-W ALLOYS PRODUCED BY ELECTRODEPOSITION
نویسنده
چکیده
Nanocrystalline Ni-W alloys having both high ductility and high strength were produced by electrodeoisition. The plating bath for the electrodeposition contained nickel sulfate, citric acid, sodium tungstate and ammonium chloride, and was operated at various bath concentrations and conditions of electrolysis. The ductility and tensile strength of the deposited alloys are strongly influenced by inclusion of codeposited hydrogen during deposition process. After degassing the hydrogen, the high-strength nanocrystalline Ni-W alloy containing about 20.7 at. % W with an average grain size of about 3 nm has been obtained: the tensile strength attained to about 2300 MPa. The high ductility of this alloy was also observed: bending through an angle of 180 degree was possible without breaking. Corresponding author: Tohru Yamasaki, e-mail: [email protected]

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...
متن کاملEnhanced solid solution effects on the strength of nanocrystalline alloys
Solid solution strengthening in nanocrystalline alloys is studied using sputtered Ni–W as a model system. In the composition range of 0–20 at.% W, the sputtered alloys have a nanocrystalline structure with a grain size that is independent of composition. Nanoindentation of these alloys shows that solute addition increases strength to very high levels, almost in proportion to the solute content....

Abstract: current densities. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results showed that the codeposition mechanism oftungsten in Ni-W deposition is the reduction of tungsten oxide which changed to the reduction of tungsten-containingion complexes at higher current densities. In Co-W electrodeposition, the tungsten codeposition takes place viareduction of tungsten oxide, although, the role...
متن کاملMechanics of indentation of plastically graded materials—II: Experiments on nanocrystalline alloys with grain size gradients
A systematic study of depth-sensing indentation was performed on nanocrystalline (nc) Ni–W alloys specially synthesized with controlled unidirectional gradients in plastic properties. A yield strength gradient and a roughly constant Young’s modulus were achieved in the nc alloys, using electrodeposition techniques. The force vs. displacement response from instrumented indentation experiments ma...
