Nickel-tungsten alloys were electrodeposited on stationary working electrodes from a nickel sulfate, sodium tungstate, and tri-sodium citrate-based bath under different operating conditions. The microstructure of the deposits was studied by X-ray diffraction, the morphology by scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy, and the approximate composition by energy dispersive spectros...

Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) are ubiquitous chemical compounds in the environment due to contamination of air, water, or soil. They primarily sourced from fossil fuel combustion, mining and smelting, electroplating, dyes pigments, agricultural treatments, plastic metallic industries. These contaminants can produce various adverse effects when they enter human body also affect crops aquatic...

Abstract A sharp cube textured Ni overlayer on Cu substrates has been developed for the manufacturing of long-length RABiTS-based coated conductor tapes. Using a low-cost, non-vacuum and easily scalable technique of electroplating, smooth, crack-free and continuous Ni overlayers were deposited on cube textured Cu substrates without any intermediate layers. In addition, sharp cube textured Sm-do...

A novel polymeric sorbent has been synthesized by graft copolymerization of crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol with malic acid, and characterized by FTIR, TGA and swelling studies. A suitable and interesting method has been developed for the extraction and separation of lead ion with the graft copolymer. The lead ion uptake capacity of the polymer has been evaluated vis-a-vis varying pH and metal io...

Modern automated production lines usually use one or multiple computer-controlled robots or hoists for material handling between workstations. A typical application of such lines is an automated electroplating line for processing printed circuit boards PCBs . In these systems, cyclic production policy is widely used due to large lot size and simplicity of implementation. This paper addresses cy...

We strove to produce a microdiamond（MD）- copper composite by electroplating. Unfortunately, is naturally non-wetting with MD because of their chemical incompatibility. achieved modification the amino group for surface using photocatalytic treatment, followed electroplating copper. Results demonstrated that - material assisted photocatalysis markedly improved interfacial affinity and thermal con...

he wide use of nickel coatings is T due to their valuable properties.l-2 Nickel coatings are used primarily for decorative and industrial purposes. The uses of nickel in the decorative field are. numerous including automobile parts, fumiture, general hardware and fasteners, bicycles, as undercoats in low-cost jewelry, sporting equipment, toys, cutlery, lamps and plumbing fixtures. Most of the d...
