  7. Abstract:
  8. In this thesis, the hardness of Ni-Cr alloys is optimized by design of experiment (DOE) method (Central Composite Design) in pulse electrodeposition performed in chloride solution. Various parameters were evaluated for finding significant factors in pulse electrodeposition of Ni-Cr alloy. Frequency, duty cycle, current density and temperature were selected as effective factors. 30 experiments were designed by the central composite design method. Analyses of Variance (ANOVA) were performed on the results of these 30 experiments. The best models which can predict the hardness, Cr content, deposition rate, thickness and cathode efficiency of Ni-Cr alloy electrodeposits were found and introduced. These models indicated that the frequency and quadratic behaviour of current density are the most significant model terms in hardness prediction model. Serious interaction of current density with frequency and duty cycle were also found in this model. Similar analyses of variance were performed on other purposes of this study and reported. Finally the optimum conditions of frequency, duty cycle, current density and temperature for obtaining the hardest Ni-Cr alloy electrodeposited (828 Hv) were discovered. Ni-Cr alloy which is electrodeposited with 63 Hz frequency, 18 A/dm2 current density, 75% duty cycle and 31ºC bath temperature were assessed as the optimum conditions. The optimum condition was examined by Atomic Force Microscope, Scanning Electron Microscope (with Edax attached), Polarization Curves and microhardness tester
