BiTEP (biaxially textured electroplating): A novel route for making improved coated conductors, based on a well established technique

We present a new technique for the deposition of Ni on cube textured Ni alloy substrates. It is superior to the commonly used PVD and CVD coating methods and easy to scale up from the laboratory to an industrial long length process. The new route, called 'BiTEP' (biaxially textured electro...

Description
Summary:We present a new technique for the deposition of Ni on cube textured Ni alloy substrates. It is superior to the commonly used PVD and CVD coating methods and easy to scale up from the laboratory to an industrial long length process. The new route, called 'BiTEP' (biaxially textured electroplating), where biaxially textured Ni alloy substrates are electrolytically plated with Ni, is shown to lead to an outstanding transfer of the texture from the substrate to the pure Ni layer.
