Abstract
This study presents a complete set of effective elastic-stiffness coefficients of a Ni80P20 amorphous-alloy thin film deposited on an aluminum-alloy substrate by electroless plating. The film thickness was 12 μm. The electromagnetic-acoustic-resonance method detected resonance frequencies of the triple-layered specimens (film/substrate/film), which enabled us to determine all five independent elastic-stiffness coefficients of the film using known substrate elastic properties. The resulting coefficients were those of a transverse isotropic material. There was strong anisotropy between the in-plane and normal directions; the in-plane Young’s modulus is larger than the normal Young’s modulus by 34%, for example. The anisotropic coefficients can be interpreted by considering a micromechanics model for local incomplete cohesion (thin ellipsoidal voids) aligned parallel to the film surface.
