Sputtering Intermediates on Titanium to Improve Adhesion of Electrodeposited Chromium

摘要

Intermediate layers of chromium, nickel, and/or iron have been sputtered on titanium substrates. In the latter cases, upon subsequent chromium electrodeposition, adherence was localized and nonuniform. Chromium electrodeposits on chromium intermediate-sputtered layers, however, were uniform and adherent as indicated by bend tests. Experimental procedures are described and results are discussed.
