Nanocrystalline Electroplated Cu-Ni: Metallic Thin Films with Enhanced Mechanical Properties and Tunable Magnetic Behavior

ABSTRACTEnhancements in the elastic moduli by factors of two or more in compositionally modulated metallic thin films have been observed for a certain range of composition modulation wavelengths. The experimental and theoretical understanding of this phenomenon, known as the supermodulus effect, is reviewed. Also, the mechanical properties of other artificially layered and composite materials are discussed and compared with the behavior of metallic superlattice thin films.

ABSTRACTProduction of thin (10 to 200 microns thick) metallic (Cu, Co and Ni-P) foils is performed by electrodeposition on various substrates. A competition between substrate-induced and electroplating-induced inhibition of crystal growth appears. Film structures observed by SEM, TEM and X-Ray diffraction are related to the mechanical properties of the films (stress-strain curves, microhardness and work hardening bend test).In some cases, copper thin films with a large number of submicron crystals are obtained. These films recrystallize at room temperature and their mechanical properties are completely modified by this ageing process.

Carbon fiber epoxy composites have a wide range of applications in aerospace, construction, and automotive industries due to their good mechanical properties and lightweight characteristics. Carbon fiber epoxy composite structures are typically intended for service in corrosive and hostile environmental conditions. Therefore, development of coatings which are able to protect carbon fiber epoxy composite laminates against prolonged and harsh environmental conditions such as ultraviolet radiation and moisture deems critical. This paper offers a novel method for environmental protection of fiber-reinforced polymer composites by applying thin metallic films on composites' surface as coating materials. In order to investigate the protective properties of metallic thin films, copper and aluminum coatings were deposited on the surface of carbon fiber epoxy specimens by using direct current magnetron-sputtering technique, and then mechanical properties and surface morphology of specimens were monitored during the course of accelerated environmental exposure. Both metallic coatings showed good adhesion to carbon fiber epoxy samples during environmental aging and provided protection for the specimens' surface against environmental degradation. The correlation between flexural properties and surface morphology of carbon fiber epoxy specimens is also presented.
