Effect of particle size on the co-deposition of diamond with nickel in presence of a redox-active surfactant and mechanical property of the coatings

Particle reinforced Ni/diamond composite coatings containing various amount of the reinforcement (up to 57.6 vol.%) were prepared by the electroplating technique using a Watt's nickel bath in which the diamond particles were dispersed with the aid of a redox-active surfactant containing an azobenzene moiety. Five different sizes of diamond particles with the mean diameter ranging from 0.21 to 2.91 μm were used to investigate the effect of the particle size in their co-deposition with nickel under the influence of the above redox-active surfactant and the mechanical property especially the micro-hardness and the abrasion wear of the composite coatings reinforced with various amount of the diamond particles was studied. Among all, the smallest diamond particles exhibited the highest particle co-deposition of 57.6 vol.%. The micro-hardness and the wear resistance of this composite with the 57.6 vol.% diamond were about 4.5 and 14 times, respectively, than that of a nickel coating without any reinforcement.

Electrochemical preparation and characterization of Ni/SiC compositionally graded multilayered coatings

In our study, Ni/SiC functionally graded coatings have been obtained by electrochemical deposition of silicon carbide microparticles (mean diameter 2 μm) from nickel Watts baths with different concentrations of SiC particles in solution. The SiC particles were characterized by electroacustics technique in order to determine zeta potential and particle size. Moreover, the effect of the concentration of SiC particles in solution on the amount of SiC deposited in the nickel layer was investigated. Further experiments showed that the degree of particle incorporation provoked changes in the texture of the nickel matrix. The characterization of the coatings proved that the Ni/SiC graded composite coatings were bright and compact, presented good adhesion and improved the hardness and wear resistance of pure nickel electrodeposits.     

Effect of bath ionic strength on adhesion and tribological properties of pure nickel and Ni-based nanocomposite coatings

The effect of electrolytic chemical concentration on wear-resistance, corrosion-resistance, adhesion and wettability properties of pure nickel and nickel–alumina composite coatings has been investigated in this paper. Coatings were electroplated over steel substrates under constant pulse conditions using pulse electrodeposition technique. Corrosion-resistance results show that the anti-corrosion properties are increasing with medium concentration (MC) both for pure nickel and nickel–alumina composite coating. For anti-wear properties, the MC showed increasing trend in case of pure nickel coatings but decreased in nickel–alumina composite coatings. In composite coating, the higher and low concentrations of electrolyte showed the higher wear resistance properties. Furthermore, the influence of electrolyte concentration on changing surface morphologies, mechanical, wettability and adhesion properties have been investigated and reported here. Surface morphologies of the synthesized coatings were studied with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. Coatings surface mapping and wear analyses were examined by using 3D white light interferometry.

Effect of titania particles preparation on the properties of Ni–TiO2 electrodeposited composite coatings

In this paper, the effect of titania particles preparation on the properties of Ni–TiO₂ electrocomposite coatings has been addressed. Titania particles were prepared by precipitation method using titanium tetrachloride as the precursor. The titanyl hydroxide precipitate was subjected to two different calcinations temperatures (400 and 900 °C) to obtain anatase and rutile titania particles. These particles along with commercial anatase titania particles were separately dispersed in nickel sulfamate bath and electrodeposited under identical electroplating conditions to obtain composite coatings. The electrodeposited coatings were evaluated for their microhardness, wettability, corrosion resistance, and tribological behavior. The variation of microhardness with current density exhibited a similar trend for all the three composite coatings. The composite coating containing anatase titania particles exhibited higher microhardness and improved wear resistance. However, the corrosion resistance of the composite coating containing commercial titania powder was superior to that of plain nickel, Ni–TiO₂ composite coatings containing anatase and rutile titania particles. The poor corrosion resistance of these composite coatings was attributed to the higher surface roughness of the coatings. This problem was alleviated by incorporating ball-milled titania powders. The composite coatings with higher surface roughness were modified with a low surface energy material like fluoroalkyl silane to impart hydrophobic and superhydrophobic properties to the coatings. Among these coatings, Ni–TiO₂–9C coating exhibited the highest water contact angle of 157°.

Studies on electrodeposited nickel–yttria doped ceria composite coatings

Incorporation of ceria particles into the Ni matrix was found to improve the corrosion resistance of pure Ni coatings. With the aim of further improving the corrosion resistance of Ni-ceria, yttria was doped with ceria and used as distributed phase. About 8-mol% yttria doped ceria (8YDC) particles synthesized by a solution combustion process were dispersed in a nickel sulfamate bath and electrodeposition was carried out to prepare Ni–8YDC composite coatings at various current densities. The microhardness of the composite coatings was determined. Optical microscopy confirmed the incorporation of 8YDC particles into the Ni matrix. Potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to characterize the corrosion behavior of the Ni–8YDC coatings. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDAX) were used to characterize the corroded samples. The results were compared with those for Ni and Ni–CeO₂ coatings. The wear behavior of Ni–8YDC was studied. Wear tracks were characterized by MicroRaman Spectroscopy.

Effect of multi-walled carbon nanotubes as reinforced fibres on tribological behaviour of Ni–P electroless coatings

After multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were modified and dispersed uniformly in electrolyte, the MWNTs composite coatings were prepared by electroless deposition. Hardness tests were carried out using a Vickers Hardness indenter. The friction and wear behavior of the Ni–P–MWNTs composite coatings in carbon-steel rings were investigated by using a ring-on-plate wear tester at pure liquid paraffin. Moreover, the friction and wear behavior of nine kinds of wear combinations, which were composed of plates and rings of different composite coatings, were studied. The experimental results indicated that addition of MWNTs would result in an increase in microhardness and an improvement of tribological properties of the Ni–P composite coating significantly. The Ni–P–MWNTs composite coatings revealed lower wear rate and friction coefficient compared with Si–C composite coatings. Moreover, the wear combination, which composed of the Ni–P–MWNTs composite coatings, showed a more excellent ability of friction-reduction and wear resistance than other combinations, and their friction coefficient and wear rate were 0.1087 and 1.49 × 10^− 6 kg/m, respectively.

Cathode plasma electrolytic deposition of Al2O3 coatings doped with SiC particles

Semiconductor particles doped Al₂O₃ coatings were prepared by cathode plasma electrolytic deposition in Al(NO₃)₃ electrolyte dispersed with SiC micro- and nano-particles (average particle sizes of 0.5–1.7?µm and 40?nm respectively). The effects of the concentrations and particle sizes of the SiC on the microstructures and tribological performances of the composite coatings were studied. In comparison with the case of dispersing with SiC microparticles, the dispersion of SiC nanoparticles in the coatings was more uniform. When the concentration of SiC nanoparticles was 5?g/L, the surface roughness of the composite coating was reduced by 63%, compared with that of the unmodified coating. Friction results demonstrated that the addition of 5?g/L SiC nanoparticles reduced the friction coefficient from 0.60 to 0.38 and decreased the wear volume under dry friction. The current density and bath voltage were measured to analyze the effects of SiC particles on the deposition process. The results showed that the SiC particles could alter the electrical behavior of the coatings during the deposition process, weaken the bombardment of the plasma, and improve the structures of the coatings.
