Abstract

Thermal stability and effect of heat treatment on electronic structure and microhardness of electrodeposited CoW alloy coatings using gluconate bath was characterized by DSC and XPS. XPS studies demonstrate that as-deposited alloy coating has significant amount of Co and W metals as well as Co2+ and W6+ species. There is a decrease in Co metal concentration in the alloy heated at 600 C and Co is in fully oxidized form when it is heat treated at 800 C. Marginal decrease in W metal concentration and presence of both W6+ and W5+ species are observed when the coating is heated at 600 C, whereas mostly W6+ species along with a little amount of W5+ could be seen in the coating heated at 800 C. Microhardness values of 1017 and 1336 HK are observed when Co−W coatings are heated at 500 and 600 C, respectively and they are comparable with as-deposited hard chr
