Ni1−xFex (0.1 < x < 0.75) alloy foils prepared from a fluorborate bath using electrochemical deposition

A fluorborate bath being suitable for the continuous electrodeposition system was used to deposit Ni1−xFex (0.1 < x < 0.75) alloys. The obtained alloys were smooth, bright and flexible. The effects of pH, temperature, iron content in electrolytes and current density on alloy composition and plating current efficiency were investigated. The analysis of XRD of Ni1−xFex alloys was used to explore the relationship between alloy composition and crystal structures. The surface morphology of alloys was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
