Figure 4: XRD patterns of different samples of Ni/Al coatings.
From: Structure zone diagram and particle incorporation of nickel brush plated composite coatings
(a) sample plated using reference values; for samples (b–d), the variable is (b) bath load = 500 g/l, (c) brush = white Scotch-BriteTM (d) brush = polyester jacket. Finally, (e) corresponds to as-received Al powder particles, illustrated in (f) with a SEM image. Main peaks from a Ni FCC structure and Al FCC are highlighted, according to the PDF-2 International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD) database, (04–0850 Ni, 04–0787 Al).
