Abstract

The mechanical properties of electroplated alpha and beta brasses and of deposits consisting of alternate layers of the two phases were determined. The alternate-layer deposits were stronger than the single-phase ones only if the latter were coarse grained. Some alternate-layer deposits of ordered and disordered beta brass exhibited high ductilities, apparently due to a strain-induced martensitic reaction which inhibited necking. The friction coefficients of alternate-layer deposits being lower than those of the single-phase ones indicated weak bonding between the alpha and beta layers.
