We fabricated the Au/Ni template for YBCO coated conductors and evaluated texture formation and the microstructural evolution. The cube textured Ni substrate was fabricated by rolling and recrystallization annealing, and subsequently Au layer formed on the substrate by electroless-plating method. The texture was evaluated by pole-figure with x-ray goniometer with orientation distribution function (ODF) analysis. The surface roughness and grain boundary morphology of template were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) We observed that Au layer deposited epitaxially on Ni substrate and formed a strong cube texture when plating time was optimized. The full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) was $8.4^{\circ}$ for out-of-plane and $9.98^{\circ}$ for in-plane texture for plating time of 30 min. Microstructural observation showed that the Au layer was homogeneous and dense without formation of crack/microcrack. In addition, we observed that root-mean-square (RMS) and depth of grain boundary were 14.6 nm and 160 $\AA$ for the Au layer, respectively, while those were 27.0 nm and 800 $\AA$ for the Ni substrate, indicating that the electoless-plated Au layer had relatively smooth surface and effectively mollified grain groove.

The typical MCFC (molten carbonate fuel cell) anode is made of Ni-10%Cr alloy. The work of this paper is focused concerning long life of anode because Ni-10% Cr anode is suffering from sintering and creep behavior during cell operation. Therefore, Ni-coated Alumina powder($20{\mu}m$) was developed by electroless nickel plating. Optimum condition of electroless nickel coation on $20{\mu}m$ alumina is as follows: pH 11.7, temperature $65{\sim}80^{\circ}C$, powder amount $100cm^2/l$. The deposition rate for Ni-electroless plating was as a function of temperature and activation energy was evaluated by Arrhenius Equation thereby activation energy calculated slope of experimental data as 117.6 kJ/mol, frequency factor(A) was $6.28{\times}10^{18}hr^{-1}$, respectively.

Nickel-phosphorus alloys are attractive materials for diamond turning applications such as fabrication of large optics and other high precision parts. It is also well-known that the higher phosphorus content of the alloys minimizes the diamond tool wear. Due to the weakness of electoless nickel plating that the phosphorus contents is limited to 13-14% (wgt), increased attention has been paid at electro-nickel plating which enables the alloys with 15-16% phosphorus. In this study, experiments were carried out to observe the wear characteristic of single crystal diamond tools in micro-grooving of electro-nickel plated drums. The experiments shows that long distance (50km) machining of micro-grooving on electro-nickel plated drum is possible with a single crystal diamond tool without any significant tool wear and defective machined surface.

Alkali 물질이 포함되지 않은 $(NH_4)_2Co(SO_4)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$, $(NH_4)_2WO_4$, $(NH_4)H_2PO_4$ 등의 전구체를 사용하여 구리배선의 보호막 제조를 위한 Co 합금박막의 무전해도금을 수행하였다. pH, Co 전구체 농도, 증착온도 등의 공정변수들의 변화에 대한 Co 합금박막의 두께와 표면형상을 살펴봄으로써 이들 공정변수가 alkali 물질이 포함되지 않은 화학물질로 무전해도금된 Co 합금박막의 특성에 끼치는 영향을 살펴보았다. pH, Co 전구체 농도, 증착온도가 증가할수록 Co 합금 박막의 두께가 증가하였고 이는 alkali 물질이 포함된 Co 합금박막의 무전해도금 결과와 비슷하다. SEM(scanning electron microscopy)을 이용한 Co 합금박막의 표면형상 관측 결과, 본 연구에서 사용된 공정조건에서 Co 합금박막의 무전해도금을 위한 적절한 pH와 온도의 범위가 각각 8.5~9.5와 $75{\sim}85^{\circ}C$임을 얻었다. 본 연구를 통하여 alkali 물질이 포함되지 않은 화학물질을 이용한 무전해도금으로 구리배선의 보호막 제조용 Co 합금박막의 증착이 가능함을 확인하였다.
