Title: The evolution of texture during annealing of electroless Ni-Co-P deposits

Journal Article · · Scripta Materialia

The Ni-Co-P alloy deposits can be obtained from alkaline solutions over the entire range of Co compositions. The deposits with higher Co concentrations are applied to magnetic recording media and vertical magnetic recording media by adding Mn and Re. An increase in Co concentration causes a decrease in P content and increase in grain size. No study has been made of texture changes during annealing of the Ni-Co-P alloy deposits. Microstructures and crystallization of the electroless Ni-P deposits and magnetic properties and microstructures of electroless Ni-Cu-P deposits were studied by the present authors. In this paper, the evolution of texture and phase transformation behavior during annealing of the Ni-Co-P deposits have been discussed.
