Determination of Modulus of Elasticity, Nanohardness and Residual Stresses in Brush-plated Gold and Silver Coatings on Copper Substrate

Determination of Modulus of Elasticity, Nanohardness and Residual Stresses in Brush-plated Gold and Silver Coatings on Copper Substrate

<p>In the current study the investigated brush-plated gold coatings are generally used for repairing the commutators of generators and sliding contacts made in most cases of copper. Considering the cost, gold is sometimes replaced by silver in manufacturing electronic components.</p> <...
