CONVERSION ELECTRON MOSSBAUER STUDY OF SHORT-RANGE ORDERING IN ELECTROCHEMICALLY DEPOSITED FE-NI-CR ALLOYS

Fe-57 Conversion electron Mossbauer spectroscopy X-ray diffractometry and electron microprobe measurements were performed on Fe-Ni-Cr alloys coatings electrochemically deposited at different times (from 1 to 29 minutes). Significant differences have been found among the Mossbauer spectra of samples examined. The changes are also reflected by the hy perfine field distribution derived from the spectra. The observed chan ges can be associated with changes in the magnetic anisotropy and in t he short range ordering in correlated to the duration of electrochemic al deposition.
