The Formation of Composite Materials by Electrodeposition,
Abstract
Experiments have been carried out to prepare iron wire/electrodeposited nickel and carbon fibre/electrodeposited nickel composites. Electrodepositing nickel onto planar array of parallel iron wires gave a composite which had planes of weakness between the wires. The use of addition agents and subsequent heat treatment reduced the extent of these planes of weakness. A method of producing aligned carbon fibre/electrodeposited nickel composites by compacting and sintering bundles of plated fibres is proposed. 50% by volume of well spaced and aligned carbon fibres in a nickel matrix has been obtained.
