Topics
- Electroless
deposition of ternary alloys Ni-Me-P & Co-Me-P
(Me = Cu, Zn, Fe, W, Re) mechanism, distribution
of Me, thermal stability, other properties.
- Magnetic
& SAXS granulometry of Ni and Ni-Me precipitates
in Ni-P & Ni-Me-P amorphous alloys.
- Electrosynthesis
of photocatalytically active WO3 and
TiO2 coatings.
- Relationship
between plating parameters, structure and magnetic
properties of electro- & electroless deposited
films (cobalt based alloys).
- R
& D in high-tech magnetic materials .
- Internal
stress measurement during electrodeposition --
three types of stress: instantaneous, residual
and average. Plotting of the residual stress diagram
through the coating thickness.
- Role
of hydrogen desorption for the internal stress
origination in electro- and electroless deposited
materials.
- Internal
stress measurement and investigation of the stress
relaxation in electroless plated amorphous alloys.
