Electrodeposition and mechanical and corrosion resistance properties of Ni-W/SiC nanocomposite coatings

Ni-W/SiC nanocomposite coatings with various contents of SiC nano-particulates were prepared by electrodeposition in Ni-W plating bath containing SiC particulates. The influences of the SiC nano-particulates concentration, current density and stirring rate of the plating bath on the composition of the nanocomposite coatings were investigated. The surface morphologies of the Ni-W alloy and Ni-W/SiC nanocomposite coating were observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The morphology of Ni-W/SiC nanocomposite coating is smoother than that of Ni-W alloy coating. The microhardness of composite coatings increases with the increasing content of the SiC nano-particulates in the coatings. The corrosion behavior of Ni-W alloy and Ni-W/SiC nanocomposite coatings was evaluated by the anodic polarization curves in 0.5 mol/L NaCl solution at room temperature. It shows that Ni-W/SiC nanocomposite coating has better corrosion resistance than the Ni-W alloy coating.     

Composite Electroplating to Obtain Ni-ZrO2 Nanocomposite Coatings Containing Monodispersed ZrO2 Nanoparticles

The Zirconia nanoparticles are dispersed well in the plating bath using polyelectrolyte dispersant and NiZrO2 nanocomposite coatings containing monodispersed ZrO2 nanoparticles are successfully prepared under DC electrodeposition condition. The effects of the dispersant concentration on the dispersibility of Zirconia nanoparticles in the plating bath and the hardness of nanocomposite coatings have been investigated. The results shows that the hardness of nanocomposite coatings are strongly influenced by the dispersion state of ZrO2 nanoparticles in the composite coatings and only a very low volume percent of monodispered ZrO2 nanoparticles in Ni-ZrO2 composite coatings will result in higher hardness of the coating.     

Effect of SiC particle size on the physical and mechanical properties of extruded Al matrix nanocomposites

In this work, the effect of SiC particle size and its amount on both physical and mechanical properties of Al matrix composite were investigated. SiC of particle size 70 nm, 10 μm and 40 μm, and Al powder of particle size 60 μm were used. Composites of Al with 5 and 10 wt.% SiC were fabricated by powder metallurgy technique followed by hot extrusion. Phase composition and microstructure were characterized. Relative density, thermal conductivity, hardness and compression strength were studied. The results showed that the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated that the dominant components were Al and SiC. Densification and thermal conductivity of the composites decreased with increasing the amount of SiC and increased with increasing SiC particle size. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) studies showed that the distribution of the reinforced particle was uniform. Increasing the amount of SiC leads to higher hardness and consequently improves the compressive strength of Al–SiC composite. Moreover, as the SiC particle size decreases, hardness and compressive strength increase. The use of fine SiC particles has a similar effect on both hardness and compressive strength.

Nanomechanical properties of functionally graded composite coatings: Electrodeposited nickel dispersions containing silicon micro- and nanoparticles

Functionally graded composite coatings constitute a class of materials which are mostly used for mechanical and tribological applications. Among these materials, nickel metal deposits with incorporation of SiC particles have excellent mechanical properties due to nickel metal and good tribological properties due to the SiC particles. In this work, nickel coatings containing different sizes of SiC particles, nanoparticles and microparticles (10 nm to 5 μm), were electrodeposited from an additive-free sulfate bath containing nickel ions and SiC particles. The material properties of the coatings were compared to nickel coatings containing microparticles (5 μm). The effect of current density, SiC content in the bath, and electroactive species concentration on the codeposition of SiC were studied. Afterwards, the effect of particle size and codeposition percentage of SiC particles on the nanomechanical properties on the morphology and structure of the electrodeposits were investigated. The coatings were analyzed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), nanoidentation and lateral force microscopy (LFM). The Ni–SiC electrocomposites, prepared at optimum conditions, exhibited improved nanomechanical properties in comparison to pure nickel electrodeposits. The improved properties of the composite coatings are associated to structural modifications of the nickel crystallites as well as the morphology of the electrodeposited layers. The improved nanomechanical properties of electrocomposites containing nanosized SiC particles, as compared to electrocomposites containing micron-sized SiC particles, is attributed to the increasing values of the density of embedded SiC particles with decreasing particle size and the mechanism of embedment of the SiC particles.

The phase structure, microhardness and wear resistance of Ni-W-P-SiC nanocomposite coatings were evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), microhardness tester and wear test apparatus. The surface morphology of the produced coatings and worn surfaces has been investigated using scanning electron microscope (SEM). Additionally, the composite coating exhibited higher hardness and wear resistance than the pure Ni-W-P alloy. Regardless the particle shape, the mechanical characteristics of composite coatings are improved with increasing of SiC wt.% into the matrix. The corrosion behavior of the produced coatings was studied using anodic polarization measurements. The nanocomposite coating incorporating SiC rods exhibited higher mechanical and corrosion performance compared with deposits with spherical SiC nano-particles.
