Definitions
- This invention relates to a process for preparing nickel film.
- it is concerned with a process for preparing a nickel film which has increased stability and is non magnetic.
- Nickel has been prepared by reducing an aqueous solution of a salt.
- Nickel has been prepared by reducing an aqueous solution of a nickel compound with a hypophosphite reducing agent.
- Nickel has also been prepared by reducing an aqueous solution of a nickel compound with an amine borane reducing agent.
- Nickel, produced by either of these processes, has a metastable non-crystalline form, ie it has a tendency to lose its amorphous state and crystallise when heated.
- Crystallisation is associated with three changes in properties which may be harmful. Firstly, the volume generally contracts. This promotes cracking and loss of adhesion. Secondly, precipitation of second phases is harmful in that it increases the susceptibility of the metal to galvanic corrosion. Thirdly, the remaining crystalline metal matrix becomes ferromagnetic.
- the invention seeks to provide a nickel film which retains its non-magnetic, amorphous state when heated to high temperatures.
- US-A-3,567,525 discloses use of a mixture of two reducing agents, one a phosphorus containing agent and one a boron containing agent, for the reduction of nickel.
- the conditions are such, however, that the process produces a material, which is strongly ferrogmagnetic and in powder form.
- a process for preparing a continuous film of nickel is characterised, according to the invention, by reducing an aqueous solution of a nickel compound in the substantial absence of any magnetic material with a mixture of a phosphorus containing reducing agent and a boron containing reducing agent in amounts so that the film retains its amorphous non-magnetic state when heated to a temperature of 300°C.
- the resulting nickel film has a greater stability than that obtained when only a single reducing agent is used.
- the rate of deposition of the nickel film is also increased.
- the film retains its amorphous, non-magnetic state when heated to a high temperature.
- the non-magnetic property is very important and desirable when the nickel is used as an undercoat on a substrate for a thin film magnetic record disk.
- hypophosphite reducing agent and the amine borane reducing agent in a ratio of about 10 equivalents to 1 equivalent.
- the preferred hypophosphite reducing agent is sodium hypophosphite
- the preferred amine borane reducing agent is dimethylamine borane.
- the relative amounts of the phosphorus containing reducing agent and the boron containing reducing agent should be such that the final product is a non-magnetic nickel containing from 10% to 15% by weight phosphorus and from 0.1% to 1% by weight boron. It is only within these critical ranges that the nickel films maintain their low level of stress and their non-magnetic character when heated.
- the present invention yields nickel deposits which are continuous films, and not layers of powder as is obtained in much of the prior art. These continuous films are also adherent to the substrate.
- the object is to form a non-magnetic film
- the reduction should be carried out in the substantial absence of any magnetic materials, ie the process and composition limits would be greatly affected by the presence of more than trace amounts of magnetic materials such as iron, cobalt and manganese.
