Structural properties of Cu-Ni alloy films, such as preferred orientation, crystallite size, in-ter-planar spacing, cross-sectional morphology, and electrical resistivity, are investigated in terms of tar-get configurations that are used in the film deposition by means of magnetron co-sputtering. Two different target configurations are considered in this study: a dual-type configuration in which two separate tar-gets (Cu and Ni) and different bias types (RF and DC) are used and a Ni-on-Cu type configuration in which Ni chips are attached to a Cu target. The dual-type configuration appears to have some advantages over the Ni-on-Cu type regarding the accurate control of atomic composition of the deposited Cu-Ni alloy. However, the dual-type-produced film exhibits a porous and columnar structure, the relatively large internal stress, and the high electrical resistivity, which are mainly due to the relatively low mobility of adatoms. The affects of thermal treatment and deposition conditions on the structural and electrical properties of dual-type Cu-Ni films are also discussed.

Oxide ($SnO_2$)/metal alloy (Cu(Ni))/oxide ($SnO_2$) multilayer films were fabricated using the magnetron sputtering technique. The oxide and metal alloy were $SnO_2$ and Ni-doped Cu, respectively. The structural, optical, and electrical properties of the multilayer films were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometry, and 4-point probe measurements, respectively. The properties of the $SnO_2/Cu(Ni)/SnO_2$ multilayer films were dependent on the thickness and Ni doping of the mid-layer film. Since Ni atoms inhibit the diffusion and aggregation of Cu atoms, the grain growth of Cu is delayed upon Ni addition. For $250^{\circ}C$, the Haccke's figure of merit (FOM) of the $SnO_2$ (30 nm)/Cu(Ni) (8 nm)/$SnO_2$ (30 nm) multilayer film was evaluated to be $0.17{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}^{-1}$.

The effect of gadolinium and boron on the texture development and magnetic properties of the texture controlled 23Cr-10NiCu duplex stainless steels were studied to develop a high performance neutron and electromagnetic shielding material. The 23Cr-10NiCu base alloy is composed of 60% of austenite and 40% of ferrite, whereas, the 23Cr-10NiCu-0.5Gd-0.8B modified alloy is composed of 66% of austenite, 27% of ferrite and 7% of CrFeB intermetallic compounds. The gadolinium and boron addition to the 23Cr-10NiCu base alloy increased mechanical properties. Microstructure observation showed that the small addition of 0.5 wt% gadolinium and 0.8 wt% boron to the alloy retarded to form texture at the same hot rolling conditions, and improved the maximum magnetism, residual magnetism and coercive force about 3%, 122% and 120%, respectively.

The improved properties of corrosion for 90Cu10NiFe alloy in natural seawater were explained by sodium diethyl dithio carbamate(NaDDC), namely organic compound, which is reagent for heavy metal extractions of waste water. The efficiency of NaDDC as corrosion inhibitor for 90Cu10NiFe alloy has been investigated in seawater after immersion in various concentrations of NaDDC solutions for 12~36hrs at pH 8.2 by weight loss test and electrochemical techniques including potentiodynamic polarization and SEM-EDS measurements. The results showed that the corrosion resistance of 90Cu10NiFe alloy improves with the increasing concentration of NaDDC but it did not improves with increasing time any more, so the highest inhibition efficiency was 93% at 100mg/L, 36hrs. The results obtained from weight losses and corrosion rates in polarization curve measurements were in good agreement. Therefore, it showed that NaDDC is a good inhibitor for copper corrosion of 90Cu10NiFe alloy.

This study was undertaken to measure the electrochemical corrosion of amorphous $Zr_{65}Al_8Ni_{15}Cu_{12}$ (at.%) alloy ribbon under various conditions, including 0.4 mM HCl solution, and for various values of the pH and the immersion time. The corrosion potentials($E_{corr}$) for the amorphous $Zr_{65}Al_8Ni_{15}Cu_{12}$ alloy in 0.4 mM HCl decreased with increasing temperature; the corrosion current density($I_{corr}$) increased with increasing temperature in general. The polarization resistance($R_p$) was inversely proportional to the corrosion rate. While pH=7, 9, 11 was not as sensitive as pH=3, 5, pH=3 was more sensitive for amorphous $Zr_{65}Al_8Ni_{15}Cu_{12}$ alloy than other pHs specially. The change of mass in the 70 mM $H_2SO_4$ solution with immersion time was the greatest in the first 100 h.

The magnetic properties of a series of both annealed and as-rolled Ni-$W_y$ alloy tapes with compositions y = 0, 1, 3, and 5 at.%, were studied. To compare with Ni-W alloys, the magnetic properties of a series of both annealed and as-rolled $[Ni_{97at.%}W_{3at.%}]_{100-x}Cu_x$ alloy tapes with compositions x = 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7 at.%, were studied, as well. Both the isothermal mass magnetization M(H) of a series of samples, such as both Ni-W and [Ni-W]-Cu alloy tapes, at different fixed temperatures and M(T) in fixed field, were measured using a PPMS-9 (Quantum Design). The degree of ferromagnetism of Ni-$W_y$ alloys have reduced as W-content y increases. Both the saturation magnetization $M_{sat}$ and Curie temperature $T_c$ decrease linearly with W-content y, and both $M_{sat}$ and $T_c$ go to zero at critical concentration of $y_c$ ~ 9.50 at.% W. The effect of Cu addition on both the saturation magnetization $M_sat$ and Curie temperature $T_c$ decrease linearly with Cu-content x in $[Ni_{97at.%}W_{3at.%}]_{100-x}Cu_x$ alloy tapes with compositions x = 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 at.%. The results confirm that [Ni-W]-Cu alloy tapes can have much reduced ferromagnetism as Cu-content x increases.

Recently, the actuator worked by the driving recovery-force of the thermo elastic martensitic transformation of shape memory alloys(SMA) has been studied. This paper presents a study on the fatigue life of shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators undergoing thermally induced martensitic phase transformation under various stress levels. shape memory recoverable stress and strain of Ti-44.5at.%Ni-8at.%Cu alloys were by means of constant temperature tensile tests. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was employed in order to investigate the transformation characteristics of the alloy before the tests. the results were summarized as follows. The martensite inducing stress incerased with the increasing of the Cu-contents. The fatigue life decreased with the increasing of the test load and the Cu-content. The data acquired will be very useful during the design process of an SMA NiTiCu element as a functional part of an actuator.

Ni 혹은 Cu 첨가에 따른 고규소 고용강화 페라이트계 구상흑연주철의 기계적 성질과 미세조직 변화를 실험적으로 확인하기 위해, Ni 및 Cu 투입량을 3.0wt% 이내 그리고 0.9wt% 이내에서 조절하여 시편단위 사형주조를 진행하였다. 실험 결과 고용강화 페라이트계 구상흑연주철 내 Ni 혹은 Cu 함량이 증가하면 합금 내 강도 특성과 경도가 증가하였고 연성은 감소하였다. 한편, 합금 내 Ni 및 Cu 함량이 비슷한 경우, Ni이 포함된 고용강화 페라이트계 구상흑연주철보다 Cu가 포함된 합금이 더 높은 펄라이트 분율을 나타내었다. Ni이 포함된 고용강화 페라이트계 구상흑연주철의 미세조직에 미치는 기계적 성질의 경우에는 펄라이트 분율이 10% 이내 일 때 강도, 경도, 연신율이 우수하였으나, 펄라이트 분율이 10% 이상 증가할 경우 급격한 연신율 감소를 나타내었다. 한편, Cu가 첨가된 고용강화 페라이트계 구상흑연주철의 경우에는 펄라이트 분율 증가에 따라 강도와 경도는 점점 증가하였으며 연신율은 점점 감소하는것을 확인하였다. 고용강화 페라이트계 구상흑연주철 내 첨가원소에 따른 이러한 미세조직과 기계적 성질 차이는 Cu 대비 Ni의 낮은 펄라이트 안정화 효과와 첨가원소 함량에 따른 기지상 강화효과 차이가 복합적으로 작용하였기 때문으로 판단된다.

The effects of Cu and Fe additions on the thermal stability, microstructure and mechanical properties of $Al_{85}-Ni_{8.5}-Mm_{6.5},\;Al_{84}-Ni_{8.5}-Mm_{6.5}Cu_1,\;Al_{84}-Ni_{8.5}-M_{m6.5}Fe_1$ alloys, manufactured by gas atomization, degassing and hot-extrusion were investigated. Gas atomization, with a wide super-cooled liquid region, allowed the alloy powders to exhibit varying microstructure depending primarily on the powder size and composition. Al hotextruded alloys consisted of homogeneously-distributed fine-grained fcc-Al matrix and intermetallic compounds. A substitution of 1 at.% Al by Cu increased the thermal stability of the amorphous phase and produced alloy microstructure with smaller fcc-Al grains. On the other hand, the same substitution of 1 at.% Al by Fe decreased the stability of the amorphous phase and produced larger fcc-Al grains. The formation of intermetallic compounds such as $Al_3Ni,\;Al_{11}Ce_3\;and\;Al_{11}La_3$ was suppressed by the addition of Cu or Fe. Among the three alloys examined, the highest Vickers hardness and compressive strength were obtained for $Al_{84}-Ni_{8.5}-M_{m6.5}Cu_1$ alloy, and related to the finest fcc-Al grain size attained from increased thermal stability with Cu addition.

It is well known that compositionally modulated Cu-Ni alloy can be produced by an electrochemical method in Ni sulfate solution containing trace amount of Cu. a mathematical model is presented to describe the current distribution and weight percent of Cu in Ni layer on the rotating disk electrode. The model includes convective-diffusion equation, the Laplace's equation and various overpotentials, and is solved numerically. The thickness of Cu layer is almost uniform whereas the thickness of Ni layer as well as the Ni/Cu weight ratio are increased approaching to the edge of the disk. These results agree well with the experimental values. The ohmic potential drop is suggested as a major cause of a nonuniformity in Ni layer. The optimum plating condition for the fabrication of susperlattice is proposed based on the results of this study.
