Amorphous non-laminar phosphorous alloys

An amorphous non-laminar Ni/Co/P alloy produced by electrodeposition of the alloy while maintaining the cathode efficiency at a range of between about 4 and 10 mg/amp. min. and characterized by the absence of a plurality of thick, parallel lines or regions in cross-sectional photomicrographs of the alloy after electrodeposition.

An amorphous non-laminar Co/P alloy produced by electrodeposition of the alloy while maintaining the cathode efficiency at a range of between about 4 and 10 mg/amp. min. and characterized by the absence of a plurality of thick, parallel lines or regions in cross-sectional photomicrographs of the alloy after electrodeposition.

An article or device comprised of a substrate having an amorphous non-laminar Ni/P alloy, amorphous non-laminar Ni/Co/P alloy, or amorphous non-laminar Co/P alloy deposited thereon produced by electrodeposition of the alloy on said substrate while maintaining the cathode efficiency at a range of between about 4 and about 10 mg/amp. min. and wherein the amorphous non-laminar alloy is characterized by the absence of a plurality of thick, parallel lines or regions in cross-sectional photomicrographs of the alloy after electrodeposition.

An amorphous non-laminar Ni/P alloy, amorphous non-laminar Ni/Co/P alloy, or amorphous non-laminar Co/P alloy article or device produced by electrodeposition of the alloy while maintaining the cathode efficiency at a range of between about 4 and about 10 mg/amp. min. and, wherein the amorphous non-laminar alloys are characterized by the absence of a plurality of thick, parallel lines or regions in cross-sectional photomicrographs of the alloys after electroplating.
