Summary: Double exposure laser holographic interferometry is used to investigate the surface deformation of an SS 304 substrate during the deposition of TiO2 thin films. The TiO2 film is synthesized by potentiostatic electrodeposition method. Non-destructive holographic interferometry is employed for in-situ analysis of the stress on the substrate and the thickness of deposition. The computed holographic interference fringes show an increase in TiO2 film thickness with deposition time, but a decrease in stress on the substrate.

Summary: This study focuses on the environmentally friendly electrodeposition of nanocrystalline palladium on a copper substrate using an ammonia complex to replace gold. Faraday's law of electrolysis was used to evaluate the electrodeposition of palladium prepared from the ammonia complex and solution characteristics such as current efficiency and film thickness growth per hour. The quality of the deposits was observed through Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). Crystal structure orientation and lattice parameters were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, and crystal sizes were calculated using the Debye-Scherrer equation. The presence of additives in gelatin-containing electrolyte resulted in the smallest crystal size, indicating grain refinement. The microstructures and surface morphology of the palladium deposits were examined using FESEM and AFM, respectively. XPS was employed to investigate the elemental composition and oxidation state of the palladium deposits, revealing the presence of additives that contributed to a smooth and uniform surface morphology. Gelatin served as a grain modifier.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
