in this research a layer of ni-cu-p was deposited on 304 stainless steels by using gelatin and thiourea asadditives in a sulfate solution. in order to determine the properties of deposited layers, a microhardness testerwas used for microhardness measurement, x.r.d. for microstructural analysis, and a scanning electronmicroscope equipped with e.d.x. for determining morphology and analyzing the d...

Fe-Ni alloys of meteoritic composition were solidified by a plane front solidification technique. Distribution coefficients of Ni, P, Ir, Ge, and Cu were determined from the composition data of the plane front solidified alloys. Equations that describe the distribution coefficients (P, Ni, Ir, Ge, and Cu) as a function of S and P content as well as S to P ratio were used to calculate solute par...

The ternary Ni–P–W alloy coating was fabricated by RF magnetron sputtering technique with dual targets of Ni–P/Cu and pure W. Electroplating Ni–P process was introduced to obtain the NiP compound target with extra-high phosphorous contents around 21 at.%. The deposition rate achieved as high as 20 Am/h after modification of the processing parameters. The Ni–P–W coating with a high P/Ni ratio of...

Atomic motion and electronic structures of Pd–Ni–Cu–P bulk metallic glasses were investigated using P nuclear magnetic resonance. The hopping rate of P atoms was determined by the stimulated echo technique. Significant hopping was observed in all alloys well below the glass transition temperature. Increasing the Cu content to above 25 at. % increases P hopping significantly, consistent with the...

The long-lived isotopes of nickel (Ni, Ni) have current and potential use in a number of applications including cosmic radiation studies, biomedical tracing, characterization of low-level radioactive wastes, and neutron dosimetry. Methods are being developed at LLNL for the routine detection of these isotopes by AMS. One intended application is in Hiroshima dosimetry. The reaction Cu(n,p)Ni has...

the effect of an electroless ni-cu-p coating on the fatigue behavior of quenched and tempered ck45 steel has been investigated. the fatigue tests under rotating bending conditions have been conducted in three different conditions of uncoated, as-deposited and shot peened prior to the coating deposition. the results indicate that plating of the base steel leads to a fatigue life reduction. the d...

In this paper, the effect of Ni on the formation of Cu6Sn5 and Cu3Sn intermetallics between tin and (Cu,Ni)-substrates has been studied by making use of the thermodynamic assessment of the Sn-Cu-Ni system. The driving forces for the diffusion of the elements in the intermetallic layers were calculated as a function of Ni-content. Assuming constant mobilities of component atoms, the results sugg...
