Nanocrystalline Co-1.2at%P and Co-2.1at%P layers with a thickness of 70-200 µm and a grain size of around 10 nm were prepared by pulsed current electrodeposition. These specimens were investigated by Field Ion Microscopy (FIM), Tomographic Atom Probe (TAP) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) both in the as prepared state and after different heat treatments.
The results reveal already a P-segregation at the grain boundaries in the as prepared state. In addition to normal and abnormal grain growth, the Co-1.2at%P alloy exhibited the formation of Co2P- and CoP-precipitates at grain boundaries after isochronal thermal annealing. In this paper, preliminary results of grain growth and segregation behavior as a function of temperature and time of annealing for the Co-2.1at%P alloy will be presented. The findings will be compared to the ones observed in the Co-1.2at%P alloy.
