Abstract

Electrodeposits of tin–iron (Sn–Fe) are obtained from a gluconate based electrolyte using a constant current technique. The effects of plating parameters such as current density, deposition time, deposition temperature and pH were examined in relation to phase composition, structure and quality of deposit. The magnetic anisotropy of the alloy deposits was investigated mainly by ⁵⁷Fe and ¹¹⁹Sn conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy (CEMS), transmission Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). ⁵⁷Fe and ¹¹⁹Sn CEMS spectra and XRD show that the dominant phases of the deposits are tetragonal FeSn₂ or amorphous Fe–Sn. It was found that the relative area of the 2nd and 5th lines of the sextets representing the magnetic iron containing phases decreases with increasing current density.
