Effect of Heat Treatment on the Structure of Oriented Nickel Electrodeposits

Abstract

INVESTIGATIONS on the development of preferred orientations on electrodeposits using electron diffraction techniques1–4 and examination of texture and topography of electrodeposited metal surfaces4–8 have been reported in recent years. Little information is available at present, however, regarding the effects of heat treatment of electro-deposited metals, at different temperatures, on changes in the foregoing properties. An electrodeposited metal develops not only preferred orientation but also internal stresses9–11, their extent depending on deposition conditions. Since annealing removes most of the stresses in a strained metal, it is of interest to follow possible changes accompanying such treatment.
