Abstract
Nanocrystalline coatings have become an essential component of single and multilayer electronic packaging ship building mining magnetorestrictive applications etc In the current work nanocrystalline NiCu films were synthesized by pulsed electrodeposition using a citrate bath Cathodic polarization experiments were carried out for optimization of bath composition to codeposit nanocrystalline NiCu films Depositions were optimized between the current density range of 005–025 A·cm−2 to achieve a uniform equiaxed coating with a target Ni content of greater than 70 owing to their superior corrosion resistance and enhanced hardness
