The effect of deposition parameters, such as time and pH, on the plating rate of the deposit were examined. The results showed that the plating rate is a function of pH bath and the highest coating thickness can be obtained at pH value from 8 to10. The surface morphology, phase structure and the magnetic properties of the prepared films have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and vibrating magnetometer device (VMD), respectively. The deposit obtained at optimum conditions showed compact and smooth with nodular grains structure and exhibited high magnetic moments and low coercivety. Potentiodynamic polarization corrosion tests were used to study the general corrosion behavior of Al alloys, Ni-P and Ni-Co-P coatings in 3.5% NaCl solution. It was found that Ni-Co-P coated alloy demonstrated higher corrosion resistance than Ni-P coating containing same percent of P due to the Co addition. The Ni-Co-P coating with a combination of high corrosion resistance, high hardness and excellent magnetic properties would be expected to enlarge the applications of the aluminum alloys. # 2007 Published by Elsevier B.V.

The study focused on the effect of (NH 4 ) 6 Mo 7 O 24 ·4H 2 O concentrations in the plating solution on the plating rate and chemical composition of the deposited layer. It was found that the Mo wt.% in the deposited layer increased from 13 to 22 wt.% with increasing (NH 4 ) 6 Mo 7 O 24 ·4H 2 O concentration. The influence of deposition current density, solution pH and deposition temperature at certain (NH 4 ) 6 Mo 7 O 24 ·4H 2 O concentration in the plating bath on the plating rate and chemical composition was studied. Polarization behavior of induced codeposition of CoMoP at various electrolyte pH values was studied using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry to estimate the current efficiency (CE%) of the plating solutions and the optimum pH for the plating process. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) techniques have been applied to characterize the morphology and chemical composition of the deposited layer. CoMoP alloys of high P wt.% as-deposited films showed irregular microcracks amorphous structure and of low P wt.% showed amorphous/nanocrystalline structure while, after annealing at 400°C for 1 h, the films deposited with low and high P wt.% converted into polycrystalline structure. The results of oxidation property showed that, the Co-13.2 wt.% Mo-10.3 wt.% P alloy has highest stability against oxidation and lowest electrical resistance values (100-150 µΩ). The ferromagnetism nature of coated materials has been studied by hysteresis loop measurements. The electrochemical corrosion results were calculated from polarization studies for as-plated and annealed CoMoP coatings in 3.5% NaCl solution.
