Popis: Surface modification before coating nickel by coupling agents and/or etchant of glass did not provide enough adhesive strength of electroless nickel deposits on glass. Effect of heat treatments on hardness as well as adhesion of nickel deposits was studied by using tape test for adhesion, nanoindenter for hardness and glancing angle x-ray diffractometer (GAXRD) for phase characterization. Heat treatment improved hardness as well as adhesion. XRD results give that the improvements of adhesion and hardness are due to the formation of NiSiO around the interface between the nickel deposits and the glass and the precipitation of Ni P causing precipitation hardening, respectively. The details in effects of heat treatment on adhesion and hardness are described here.
