Abstract

La présente invention concerne des matériaux nanostratifiés déposés par électrolyse ayant des couches constituées de nickel et/ou de chrome ayant une dureté élevée et des procédés pour leur fabrication. L'aspect uniforme ou sensiblement uniforme, la résistance chimique, et la dureté élevée de modes de réalisation des matériaux NiCr nanostratifiés de la présente invention les rendent utiles pour différentes applications comprenant des revêtements de barrière résistants à l'usure (abrasion) ou des gainages pour utilisation dans les environnements décoratifs ainsi que des environnements physiques, structuraux et chimiques exigeants.
