Definitions
- This invention relates generally to the manufacture of ferromagnetic memory elements such as wires, bobbin and torroidal shaped cores, and the like, for use in present day electronic computers and data processors, and more specifically relates to new and improved electrolytic baths for use in the manufacturing of such elements which possess greatly improved magnetic characteristics than heretofore possible.
- the magnetic memory elements be relatively small in size, require negligible expenditure of time and effort in order to be electrically connected in circuit, be physically sturdy and economical to manufacture utilizing mass production techniques, possess relatively high magnetic remanence and relatively low magnetic coercivity properties, be readily adaptable to fast switching operations measured in fractions of microseconds, and additionally, possess substantially rectangular hysteresis characteristics resulting in substantially high signal-to-noise ratios.
- the primary object of the present invention is to devise a new and improved aqueous electrolytic bath for utilization in the process of electrodeposition of a ferromagnetic coating onto an electrically conductive carrier whereby magnetic memory elements are produced which possess all of the above-mentioned characteristics.
- such a bath includes as essential constituents iron ions in a concentration in the range of .7 to 16 grams per liter, nickel ions in a concentration in the range of 3 to grams per liter, molybdenum (VI) in a concentration in the range of .1 to 1 gram per liter, and a complexing agent.
- the plating bath preferably contains simple salts of iron, nickel, and molybdenum in complexed form wherein iron is initially added as either a ferrous salt such as ferrous chloride (FeCl -4H O) or as a ferric salt such as ferric chloride (FeCl -6H O).
- a ferrous salt such as ferrous chloride (FeCl -4H O)
- a ferric salt such as ferric chloride (FeCl -6H O).
- the chlorides of iron are preferred, however, any salt of iron may be used provided the anion does not cause precipitation in the overall system.
- Nickel is preferably added to the plating bath as a simple nickel chloride salt (NiCl -6H O). However, following the addition, several nickel species may appear as free nickel ions, nickel amine complexes, nickel chelates, nickel addition agent complexes, and nickel complexes with other added metal salts. Nickel may be added in the form of other salts, as an illustrative example nickel sulfate (NiSO -6H O) provided precipitation does not occur. The form in which nickel exists in a given system depends upon many factors such as the nickel concentration, pH, ammonium ion concentration, chelating agent concentration, iron concentration, addition agent concentration, complexing agent concentration, temperature, and concentration of other metal salts.
- the nickel species in the bulk of the solution are not necessarily the same as the nickel species occurring in the so-called double layer at the cathode. It is the latter species from which deposition actually occurs and which is of major importance in determining the magnetic properties of the deposit.
- Molybdenum ing bath and it is preferably added to the bath in the form of sodium molybdate (Na MoO -2H O).
- molybdenum may be added in the form of other compounds provided they cause no precipitation in the overall system.
- molybdenum may be added in the form of molybdic acid (H2MOO4), phosphomolybdic acid (P O 24MoO -XH O), potassium molybdate ammonium molybdate [(NH MoO -2H O], ammonium heptamolybdate [(NH4)6M0I1O24'4H2O], molybdenum trioxide (M00 etc.
- the concentration of molybdenum (V1) is critical and the optimum concentration depends upon the overall conditionof the system.
- the molybdate concentration is excessive, for example an ionic concentration thereof in excess of approximately 2 grams per litter, little or no deposit results.
- Molybdate in such bath has been found to effect the plating bath similarly to addition agents in that, for example, molybdate lowers the discharge potential of the plating process and is believed to lcjo$plex with the iron and/ or nickel constituents in the Due to the fact that even the hydroxides of iron begin to precipitate even in acid solutions, it is desirable to utilize a complexing agent to maintain the plating bath in solution.
- the preferred complexing agent for this purpose is ammonium citrate [(NH HC H O
- any material which forms a complex with the iron ions of sufiicient solubility and stability is a suitable complexing agent.
- complexing agents which may be used with equal success are sodium citrate and potassium citrate (K C H5Oq2H2O).
- Various acids such as citric acid (H3C6H507'XH2O), glycolic acid (C H O -XH O), aspartic acid (C H O N-XH O), and the sodium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid etc. may be used, provided there is no breakdown of the complex for example anodic oxidation during the plating process which might form oxidation. products at the anode thus modifying the plating bath and, consequently, modifying the magnetic properties of the cathode deposit.
- the essential function of the complexing agent is to provide a (VI) has an appreciable effect in the platsoluble reservoir of iron, nickel, and/or molybdenum (VI) ions from which are formed, through dynamic equilibria, the species from which the deposition actually occurs.
- the complexing agent must be of a concentration in the bath to supply the iron, nickel and molybdenum (VI) species rapidly enough through equilibria to provide a suitable concentration of species for deposition, and yet, not rapidly enough to form an appreciable amount of other species whose solubility limits are exceeded to cause precipitation in the bath.
- the complexing agent partially determines the concentration of the reactive species present in the plating bath, the choice of the particular complexing agent has an effect on the composition and structure, and consequently the magnetic properties of the cathode deposit, which influence may be modified by the other constituents of the plating system.
- Ammonia is preferably added to the plating bath in the form of ammonium hydroxide (NH OH) to control the pH thereof. Even though it is possible to utilize the plating baths, in accordance with the present invention, to prepare cathode deposits having magnetic properties without the addition of ammonia, it is desirable that the baths have a pH within the range of 7.5 to 9.5, preferably 8.5. Ammonia, aside from controlling the pH, is believed to modify the bath through complex formations and to be part of the reservoir complexes from which deposition occurs.
- NH OH ammonium hydroxide
- Amines have been found to be less suitable than ammonia for controlling the bath pH, however, non-complexing bases such as sodium hydroxide (NaOI-I) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) may be used with equal success, provided the amounts added to the citrate baths are of insuflicient quantity to cause precipitation therein.
- NaOI-I sodium hydroxide
- KOH potassium hydroxide
- the ammonia concentration is depleted due to evaporation and, consequently, it is necessary to continuously replenish the bath with ammonium hydroxide to maintain the pH thereof at the preferred 8.5 value.
- Ammonium is preferably added to the plating bath in the form of ammonium chloride (NH Cl).
- NH Cl ammonium chloride
- ammonium ions exert a common ion effect on the ammonia complexes, they are believed to influence the concentration of the ionic species present in the system and thereby effect the structure and magnetic properties of the electrodeposit.
- Other ammonium salts i.e. ammonium sulfate [(NH SO may be used with equal success provided precipitation does not occur in the bath as a result of the addition.
- the temperature is then adjusted to a value in the range of 80 C. to 95 C., preferably 90 C., even though the bath may successfully be operated at ordinary room temperature.
- the bath is then introduced into a conventional rubber-lined steel plating tank, or an equivalent inert container.
- the carrier, onto which the deposit is to be formed may be of any of a variety of non-magnetic electrically conductive materials such as alloys of copper, aluminum, brass, bronze, etc.
- the carrier may even be of such materials as glass, plastic, or ceramic, assuming of course that it has previously been provided with a suitable electrically conductive skin covering in a well-known manner.
- the carrier be a Phosphor-bronze wire having a diameter of approximately 9 mils. It is, of course, necessary that the metallic carrier be cleaned before plating through the use of the conventional alkaline-acidwater methods which are well known in the plating industry.
- the carrier be exposed as a cathode in the bath for only a short period of time, i.e. from approximately 30 seconds to 3 minutes, preferably in the order of 2 minutes depending upon, of course, the cathode current density to be used in the plating process.
- the process is made a continuous one whereby the carrier is moved through the bath at a constant speed, by any well known means, with electrical contact at all times maintained with the carrier to supply current thereto.
- the carrier is preferably centrally encompassed at all times while in the bath by a helicalshaped anode having a coil diameter of approximately one inch and composed of an electrically conductive wire of approximately 50 mils in diameter.
- anode material may not arbitrarily be made, however, iron-nickel, and iron-nickel-molybdenum may successfully be used provided the anode is bagged in a conventional manner to prevent sludge formations at the anode from entering the bath solution.
- One of the important factors associated with the choice of anode material is oxidation in the system. When using bath I, ferrous ions are converted to ferric ions due to oxidation of the bath and high concentration of ferric ions therein is to be avoided. Inert anodes such as platinum, or the like, may be used provided they do not lead to excessive oxidation of the system.
- molybdenum anodes are preferred as they do not have to be bagged and tend to replenish the bath with molybdenum.
- molybdenum anode it is necessary to continually add molybdate solution to the bath in order to maintain the molybdate concentration constant at the desired value.
- nickel and iron solutions be continually added to the bath to also maintain the concentrations thereof constant at their respective values during the plating process.
- the current density involved in the deposition process is not critical and may range, for example, from 150 to 500, preferably 250, amperes per square foot of carrier surface area exposed in bath I and from 200 to 1000, preferably 250, amperes per square foot of carrier surface area exposed in bath II.
- the current density primarily determines the rate of deposition of the metallic ions onto the cathode. This affects the rate of diffusion into the cathode film which influences the amount of depositing species which must be in equilibrium with the reservoir complexes. Consequently, the bath and current density must be compatible and the current density cannot arbitrarily be chosen. For example, any addition agents in the system are less effective at relatively high current densities and, consequently, larger quantities must be used.
- the current density is one of the prime factors which determine the structure of the deposit, it is generally necessary to modify the plating system to permit the use of a specific current density.
- the ferromagnetic element On emergence from the plating bath, the ferromagnetic element is rinsed and dried and is then ready to be operated as a coincident current twistor type of data storage device in the following manner as fully described in the aforementioned copending application:
- the core along with the ferromagnetic coating, is simultaneously stretched and twisted and the ends thereof are thereafter held in a fixed position.
- the easy direction of magnetization of the coating is oriented from a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the core to one of substantially helical configuration about the body of the core and throughout its length as the threads of a screw.
- Such a ferromagnetic coating has been found to possess a substantially high positive and negative magnetic remanence and substantially rectangular hysteresis characteristic. Consequently, selected length portions of the coating, in the direction of twist, are allowed to attain one or other of the two stable states, namely, a residual positive or negative remanent induction.
- a magnetic field along the direction of twist of :H oersteds switches the length portions from one state to another, whereas a field of '-H/ 2 oersteds produces only negligible changes in the remanent induction.
- a plurality of similar coils of say 20 turns each, are separately wound about the coated wire and are positioned in a spaced side-by-side relationship with respect to one another to define a corresponding plurality of helical-path length portions of ferromagnetic material.
- Storage of binary information in a select length portion of coating is accomplished by sending a current impulse equal in magnitude to (1 into the conductive wire of the common core and simultaneously sending a current impulse equal in magnitude to (1;) into the select coil in such directions that the vector summation of the magnetic field produced by the two coincident currents are equal in magnitude to 1-H oersteds and is oriented in the same direction as the twist or easy direction of magnetization of the coating.
- the core is preferably pulsed to individually develop a magnetic field of :H oersteds in the opposite direction from the magnetic field developed during storage of the function.
- an electrical signal is or is not available between the ends of the corresponding coil according to whether the binary information 1 or 0, respectively, has been established in the particular length section of the coating as represented by its remanent state.

- new and improved ferromagnetic data storage elements are fabricated by electroplating a ferromagnetic coating onto an electrically conductive carrier.
- Such elements in addition to possessing greatly improved magnetic characteristics than heretofore possible, are readily adaptable to be fabricated by mass production techniques thereby maintaining the cost thereof at a minimum, and are ideally suited for incorporation in present day electronic data processors and computers.
