Electroless deposition of powdery alloys with core-shell particles structure from solutions. Vestsi Natsyyanal’nai akademii navuk Belarusi

Methods of binary and ternary powdery alloys (Cu-Sn, Cu-Zn, Ni-Cu-Zn, Ni-Sn-Zn, Cu-Fe, Ni-Cu-Fe, Ni-Cu, Ni-Cu-Al) preparation with core-shell particles structure have been developed using the processes either of copper, nickel, tin ions cementation from solutions with tin, zinc, iron powders or nickel chemical deposition from hypophosphite solutions on the mixtures of copper and aluminum powders. Metals quota in the powdery products can be controlled by varying the duration of cementation or chemical deposition, the ratio of reagents quantities, pH and concentration of solutions. The possibility of simultaneous reduction of nickel(II) and tin(II) ions with zinc powder or copper(II) and nickel(II) ions with iron powder with the formation of ternary alloys has been revealed. Low-temperature formation of intermetallic phases in Cu-Sn, Ni-Sn-Zn systems and solid solutions in Ni-Cu-Zn, Cu-Fe, Ni-Cu-Fe systems has been shown to occur during the cementation. The particles of the initial powders (Al, Cu) are coated with loose and more or less sealed shells during nickel chemical reduction from solutions. Spherical particles, flower-type compact aggregates or dendrites, depending on the nature of metals and processes duration, are formed during the cementation. The powders obtained by cementation andchemical deposition from solutions can be used in the manufacture of products for structural and instrumental (Cu-Sn, Cu-Zn, Ni-Cu-Zn, Ni-Sn-Zn, Cu-Fe, Ni-Cu, Ni-Cu-Al), antifriction (Ni-Cu-Fe, Ni-Cu) and electrical (Ni-Cu, Ni-Cu-Zn) applications, as well as solders (Cu-Zn, Ni-Sn-Zn).
