Electroplating of Hard Glassy Metals (MFS-31377)

Abstract:
Developed at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), this technology is a novel method for electroplating ultra-high-strength glassy metals—nickel-phosphorous and nickelcobalt- phosphorous—in a variety of alloys with different properties. Traditionally, these metals are deposited onto substrates via electroless deposition. NASA Marshall’s technology combines the material properties associated with electroless deposition with the many process advantages afforded by electroplating. This innovative technique offers several benefits and can be used in numerous commercial applications.
