Study on properties of Ni-Fe-Pr-P alloy fabricated by electroless method on surface of glass fiber

For getting coatings with better properties, the Ni-Fe-Pr-P alloy was deposited on the surface of glass fiber via electroless plating process. The Ni-Fe-Pr-P alloy was even and compact. The morphologies of the coatings were observed through the scanning electron microscope(SEM). The elements and their content were analyzed through energy dispersion spectroscopy analysis(EDS). The electric and magnetic properties were studied via the digital multimete and the vibrating sample magnetometer. The absorption properties were measured using a vector network analyzer in frequency rang of 8.2~12.4 GHz. The experiment results show that there is almost no magnetic loss of the coatings doped praseodymium, but the conductivity of the coatings is extremely large and the praseodymium content is 9.21% at most. The plating is a typical dielectric loss material. Meanwhile, the proper praseodymium can reinforce the absorption properties.
