Electrodeposition and physical mechanical properties of copper-nickel alloys from sulfosalicylate-ammoniac electrolyte

The article analyzes such physical and mechanical properties of the copper-nickel alloy coating as roughness, hardness, transient electrical resistivity, corrosion resistance. Based on the analysis of these physical and mechanical properties, the authors make some conclusions about applicability of the copper-nickel alloy coatings from the sulfosalicylate-ammonia electrolyte.
