ELECTROCHEMICAL ALLOYING OF IRON AND NICKEL WITH MOLYBDENUM

The composition and structure of electrolytic alloys deposited from ci trate electrolyte are studied, Electrochemical alloying of iron and ni ckel with molybdenum leads to amorphization of the resulting coatings. According to X-ray electron spectroscopy data, the amorphous alloys c ontain not only the basic components but also impurity elements: oxyge n and carbon, After annealing at 800 degrees C for 1 hr, the amorphous deposits are crystallized and consist of a mixture of three phases: e quilibrium solid solutions Me(Mo), oxides Me2O3, and Laves phases (Me2 Mo).
