Further evidence of phase formation through a liquid state stage in electrodeposited metals: Part 3

Abstract

Results of structural studies of metals electrodeposited exposed to an external force directed perpendicular or at an angle to the crystallization front have been described. It has been found that there is an increase in the dislocation density in metals electrodeposited exposed to a minor external force directed perpendicular to the crystallization front. It has been revealed that the surface layers of electrodeposited metals undergo plastic deformation caused by solid particles that move under the action of a minor external force directed at an angle to the crystallization front. It has been found that the solid particles leave imprints representing the particle shape and morphology at sites of separation from the surface of the metal electrodeposits formed exposed to a minor external force directed at an angle to the crystallization front. The existence of phase formation through a liquid state stage in electrodeposited metals has been proven.
