STUDY ON CO-ELECTRODEPOSITION OF Bi-Fe ALLOY FILMS IN ORGANIC BATH

The cyclic voltametry and potentiostatic electrolysis was used to investigate the preparation of Bi-Fe alloy films in LiClO4-DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide) system. The effects of several factors including the potential of deposition, current density and concentration of iron and bismuth in the solution on the Fe content in the alloy deposits were studied. Experimental results indicated that the amorphous alloy films of Bi-Fe containing Fe 4.40wt%-33. 67wt% could be prepared by controlling the system composition and deposition conditions. They were gray, uniform, metallic luster and adhered firmly to the copper substrates analyzed by EDS, SEM and XRD. After heat treatment of crystallization at 270℃ for 1h, the crystal phase of Bi-Fe can be found in XRD patterns.
