Electrodeposition is one of the most extensively applied surface techniques. However, there were few reports on the effect of stress on the deposited coatings. In this thesis, the effects of compression and tensile stress on adhesion strength, deposition rate and grain growth on electrodeposited Ni and Ni-Co films on Q235 mild steel substrate were studied. The morphology, grain size, chemical and phase compositions of the coatings were characterized by using methods of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-...
