Industrial applications of electrodeposited nanocrystals

In recent years electrodeposition has emerged as a technologically and economically viable synthesis route to produce nanostructured metals, alloys and composite materials both in bulk form and as coatings of varying thickness. This paper deals with several industrial applications including corrosion and wear resistant coatings, electronic connectors, heat exchanger repair technology, catalysis for hydrogen oxidation and evolution reaction electrodes, etc. (C) 1997 Acta Metallurgica Inc.
