Cover Story: The nanocrystalline Ni-Co alloys are electrodeposited with a sulfamate bath. The addition of NiBr2 and a surface brightener (NSF-E) into the bath leads to an increase in the Co content (up to 65 at.%) in the alloy as well as the grain refinement effect (roughly 14 nm). The Ni-Co alloys show higher microhardness than pure Ni and Co deposits prepared under the same condition, which reveals the solid solution strengthening effect. With a decrease in the grain size, the microhardness of the alloy further increases, and this trend follows the Hall–Petch relationship well, which indicates the grain boundary strengthening effect. Moreover, the dependency of microhardness is confirmed to be higher on the grain size than on the Co content. View this paper.
