The effects of pH,mass ratio of FeSO_4/(FeSO_4 + NiSO_4 + CoSO_4) and temperature of solution on the deposition rate,compositions,surface morphologies and structures of the Ni-Co-Fe-P coatings were investigated.The results indicated that the deposition rate increased with increasing pH when pH was lower than 9 and then reduced when pH was higher than 9.The deposition rate increased with increasing temperature when temperature was lower than 80℃and then decreased when temperature was higher than 80℃.The deposition rate decreased with the increase in mass ratio of FeSO_4/(NiSO_4 + CoSO_4 + FeSO_4).The coatings consisted of Ni,Co,Fe and P.The phase structure of the coating was amorphous.展开更多
