Herein we demonstrate a novel plating bath, free from cyanide, to plate highly adherent nanocrystalline copper-silver (ncCuAg) coating on stainless-steel substrate and its application as an antimicrobial coating. The microstructures, such the grain size, texture, microstrain, crystalline preferential orientation of CuAg deposits, are systematically investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis. ra...
