Abstract
Thin films of Fe-Ni alloys have been electroplated from acidic sulphate bath (0.06 mol dm−3 NiSO4, O.O15 mol dm−3 FeSO4, 0.005 mol dm−3 ascorbic acid, 20 g dm−3 boric acid and 1 g dm−3 saccharin) containing aliphatic amines. The percentage Ni in the alloy varied with bath composition (Fe/Ni), current density, stirring of the medium, nature and concentration of the amine. Increase of temperature and pH of the medium increased the percentage Ni in the deposit. The composition of the alloy remained constant with thickness of the film. The cathodic current efficiency depends on the plating variables. The plating potential in acidic sulphate bath was shifted in the less noble direction by the presence of amines. Smooth and bright films are obtained with small grain size when the Ni in the film is 75% or above. Electroplating conditions are optimized to get thin, magnetic 20∶80 Fe-Ni films.

Mass transport effects on the electrodeposition of iron-nickel alloys at the presence of additives

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the rotation speed of the disc electrode and the presence of organic additives on the deposition of Fe-Ni alloys are evaluated, and the alloy composition is determined by solution equilibria, mass transfer of the electroactive species within the diffusion layer and by the surface coverage of the additives.

Studies of the mechanism for the electrodeposition of FeCo alloys

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the composition of the alloy is mainly determined by the ratio of Fe(II)/Co(II) in solution and only slightly by temperature or potential/current density.
