Abstract

Structural and microstructural characterization was performed on soft magnetic Fe1-xNix thin films on copper and stainless steel cylindrical substrates. Thin films have been prepared using an electrodeposition device with uniform cylindrical deposition ability. Plating baths, containing nickel sulfate and iron sulfate, of variable Fe/Ni ion ratio in the electrolyte have been used in order to control the stoicheiometry. The microstructural characterization and composition analysis were performed using SEM. The structure of the alloys was investigated by X-ray diffraction. All samples have been submitted to thermal treatment at 450 0C at Ar atmosphere..
