Structure, internal stress and magnetic properties of electrodeposited Co-Ni alloys

A complex quantitative study of the structure (Phase composition, coherent scattering domain size, microstrain), internal stress and magnetic properties of electrodeposited Co-Ni alloys (0-40% Ni) has been conducted. A sharp maximum in the coercive force-nickel content dependence has been observed which is in accordance with the data of other authors, 1-4 As a result of detailed discussion it seems that the appearance of this maximum is probably caused by the simultaneous effect of four factors.
