Modification of Electrodeposited FeNi Alloys by Applying External Magnetic Field

Alloy electrodeposition with superimposed uniform magnetic field leads to Lorentz force generation. The Lorentz force is a factor which is able to modify the deposit structure, its texture, morphology and magnetic properties. The objective of the presented research was to show the composition, morphology and the surface roughness development of Fe-Ni binary alloys electrodeposited under the influence of the uniform magnetic field. The applied magnetic field caused increase of the paramagnetic element content in the alloys. The surface roughness decrease with an external magnetic field application was observed.
