Plating of Permalloy Using Flow Cell

Electroplating of 80%Ni permalloy thin plate for magnetic core materials. was studied The convected flow of electrolyte was used for stirring methode. The current density could be increased up to 250mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ by flow cell. The composition of electroplated layer with vespect to current density and flow rate was investigated and experimental equation to predict the composition was made. How cell yielded more uniform thickness distribution than paddle cell did. The composition distribution was also studied. The thickness was the most important factor to the permeability. The permeability of 5$\mu\textrm{m}$plated permalloy was over 2000 at 1 MHz.
