The texture of electrodeposits is related to microstructure surface morphology and mechanical properties. When the electrodeposits annealed the recrystallization texture many be different from the original deposition texture. the <100> and <110> textures of nickel electrodeposits changed to the <100> and <{{{{ SQRT {310 } }}}}> textures when recrystallized The <100> and <{{{{ SQRT {310 } }}}}> mixed texture is changed to the <100> texture. The <002> texture of Zn electrodeposits didn't changed even after recrystallization.

The texture of electrodeposits varies with deposition conditions. Texture of electrodeposits is also related to microstructure, surface morphology and mechanical properties. When the electrodeposits annealed, the recrystallization texture may be different from the original deposition texture. The surface morphology, the microstructure and the initial and recrystallization textures of copper electrodeposits vary with deposition conditions. The texture, microstructure, surface morphology and mechanical properties of electrodeposits are known to vary with electrolysis conditions, such as bath composition, over potential, pH, current density, bath temperature, etc. The (111) and (110) textures of copper electrodeposits can be obtained from copper sulfate bath. In this study, copper electrodeposits with (111) and (110) textures are obtained from a copper sulfate bath, and the change from (111) to (110) textures of copper electrodeposits can be explained.

The nickel alloys gets a great deal of attention due to their good mechanical, chemical and magnetic properties. Especially Ni-P alloy systems are very attractive due to their good corrosion resistance and the wear resistance in important technological applications. In this study, the effects of phosphorus acid concentration in plating solution on composition of Ni-P alloy coatings were studied. The Ni-P electrodeposits of the various P contents were investigated in order to understand effect of the composition on mechanical properties of Ni-P electrodeposits. The mechanical properties of electrodeposits increased as the P content in electrodeposits increase. The results of mechanical properties were explained by grain size and P solid solution effect. The effects of heat treatment on mechanical properties of Ni-P alloy coatings were also studied.

The change of the hardness and yield strength depending upon the electrolysis conditions was investigated for Watts and bright nickel electrodeposits. The hardness of Watts nickel electrodeposits decreased with increasing current density in the range of 1-15A/Am2, while it increased with increasing bath temperature. The hardness of bright nickel deposits increased noticebly in comparison with that of Watts nickel electro-deposits. The hardness and the yield strength of the bright nickel electrodeposits increased considerably with decreasing current density and the highest value was obtained at the lowest current density (1A/dm2), while they decreased noticebly at the bath temperature of 80$^{\circ}C$ in comparison with that of 40-60$^{\circ}C$. The change of the hardness and the yield strength of bright nickel electrodeposits depending upon the electrolysis conditions could be mainly attributed to the variation of organic additives codeposited in the electrodeposits. The recrystallizatioin temperature(50% softening temperature) of the Wattss and the bright nickel electro-deposits was 520-280$^{\circ}C$ and 350-410$^{\circ}C$ respectively and then the recystallization temperature of bright nickel deposits was lower than that of the Watts nickel electrodeposits.

Nickel Plating improves on the corrosion resistance of materials in acid and moisture environment. In this study, we investigated the surface morphology, XRD patterns and pole figures of the various types of Ni electrodeposits. The texture of Ni electrodeposits changed from <100> to <111> through <110> with increasing the temperature of electrolyte and the concentration of nickel ion. The texture of Ni electrodeposits changed from <100> to <100> after annealing. Also the <110> texture changed to the <√310> texture after annealing.

We investigated the effects of Pt nano electrodeposits on the corrosion of carbon substrate in an acidic solution. The electrodes for experiments were prepared by electrodepositing Pt on carbon substrate in a solution of 5 mM $H_2PtCl_6$ and 0.5 M $H_2SO_4$ using pulse deposition technique. In cyclic voltammograms for the carbon electrodes with and without Pt nano electrodeposits, total anodic current including both currents from oxygen evolution reaction and carbon corrosion increased abruptly above a critical potential. In addition, the critical potential of the carbon electrodes with Pt nano electrodeposits was lower than that of bare carbon electrode. This phenomenon was more prominent at $75^{\circ}C$ than $25^{\circ}C$. In potentiostatic experiments, the current transients and the corresponding power spectral density increased with increasing the applied potential for the electrodes. Furthermore, the current transients for the carbon electrodes with Pt nano electrodeposits were much higher than those for the bare carbon substrate. This indicates that the corrosion of carbon substrate can be highly accelerated by Pt nano electrodeposits.

The microstructure of zine electrodeposits was investigated by using zinc sulfate solution in still bath. The cathode current efficiency decreased with increasing current density, and decreasing temperature. The preferred orientation of the zinc electrodeposits changed from (10.3) texture to(10.${\ell}$)-(00.1)(${\ell}$=1, 2, 3) texture through (10.2)-(10.3) preferred orientation with increasing cathode over potential. The surface morphology of zinc electrodeposits changed from the dendritic growth with granular crystallites to the blocks of hexagonal crystallites packed together with increasing current density. The microstructure of cross section of the above deposits are the rough granular structure and columnar structure respectively.

The texture of electrodeposits changes from the orientation that places the lowest energy crystal facets parallel to the substrate under a condition of low ion concentration adjacent to the deposit, to the orientation that places the higher energy crystal facets parallel to the substrate as the ion concentration adjacent to the deposit increases. The electrodeposits have peculiar surface morphologies and microstructures depending on their textures, which in turn may affect their mechanical properties even when they are obtained in a similar electrolysis condition. The electrodeposits undergo recrystallization, when annealed. The recrystallization texture may be different from the deposition texture. These phenomena have been discussed.

The microstructure of the zinc electrodeposits was investigated by changing the flow rate of electrolyte in zinc sulfate Bath. The cathode current efficiency increased with increasing flow rate of electrolyte. The preferred orientation of zinc electrodeposit changed from (11.2) texture to (10.3) or (10.1)+(10.2) texture with increasing current density in the range of flow rate, 0.2-1.2m/sec. The morphology of the deposits changed from the sponge deposit to the blocks of hexagonal crystallites packed together through the structures of find polycrystallite with increasing current density. The microstructure of the cross-section of the above deposits are granular structure and columnar structure respectively. The surface roughness of zinc electrodeposits decreased with increasing current density and flow rate of electrolyte.
