Magnetic properties of electrodeposited amorphous nickel–phosphorus alloys

Abstract

The influence of the sodium hypophosphite concentration in a sulfate–citrate electrolyte of nickel plating on the phosphorus content in electrodeposited amorphous Ni–P alloys was analyzed. The effect of the thermal treatment on the magnetic properties (coercive force and specific magnetization) of the obtained Ni–P alloys was considered; the Curie temperatures of the alloys were determined.
