The effects of supergravity on current efficiency, tank voltage and unit energy consumption of nickel foil deposition were investigated, and the surface morphology, crystal structure and mechanical properties of the nickel foil were characterized.
The results show that with gravity coefficient of G and the increase of deposition current density, grain is refined nickel foil. The nickel foil tensile strength by gravity (G = 1) often 933 mpa to 443 G = 1190 mpa, hardness is increased from 224 hv to 375 hv. The super gravity conditions (G = 111), as the deposition current density increased from 0.1 A/cm ^ 2 to 0.4 A/cm ^ 2, and the tensile strength and hardness of nickel foil were increased from 1054 mpa and 285 hv to 1121 mpa and 331 hv.
