Abstract
The influence of electroless nickel as a substrate on the coercive force and microstructure of certain electroless cobalt films was examined. Cobalt films on electroless nickel substrates exhibit (i) deposits which may contain a lesser proportion of amorphous or fine grained cobalt, (ii) a more pronounced [ 10 1 ¯ 0 ] preferred orientation perpendicular to the plane of the deposit relative to similar deposits on a Mylar‐adhesive substrate, and (iii) higher coercive force values relative to similar deposits on a Mylar‐adhesive substrate. The data suggests that the increase in coercive force may be due to a decrease in the amorphous characteristics of cobalt films prepared on electroless nickel in comparison to such films on Mylar.Keywords
