Abstract
Cr[sbnd]C, Cr[sbnd]Ni[sbnd]C and Cr[sbnd]Fe[sbnd]Ni[sbnd]C deposits were successfully prepared from Cr 3+ -based plating baths with suitable amounts of complex agents and metal salts. The Cr-based alloy deposits could be hardened after rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at 500 °C for a few seconds. The highest hardness of 1800 Hv could be detected from the Cr[sbnd]C deposit after RTA at 500 °C for 15 s. The hardening mechanism of annealed Cr-based alloy deposits is attributed to the precipitation of crystalline diamond-like phases. The diamond-like phase in a membrane shape was observed in the annealed-hardened Cr[sbnd]C alloy deposits, while nano-sized membranes and particles were found in annealed-hardened Cr[sbnd]Ni[sbnd]C and Cr[sbnd]Ni[sbnd]Fe[sbnd]C deposits, respectively.
