Change of tension state of electrolytic nickel under exposure to plasma

A study of the effect cold air plasma on cathode nickel grade N-1 has been carried out. The changes in microstructure, macro- and microstresses, as well static displacements atoms from equilibrium positions are investigated. By method aim metallography it was shown that microstructure does not change under exposure. X-ray structural studies have established level microstresses when exposed to plasma. decrease magnitude macrostresses is for 5 10 min. Macrostresses this case vary tensile stresses initial state compressive after exposure their established.
