Abstract: | In current study, Ni–AlN nanocoatings were successfully prepared by adopting the jet pulse electrodeposition (JPE) technique with ultrasound. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Vickers microhardness test, electrochemical workstation and friction wear tests were utilized to investigate the microstructure, mechanical properties, corrosion degree and wear resistance of the coatings. The results indicated that the Ni–AlN nanocoatings deposited by using ultrasound demonstrated the minimum and most compact surface structure compared to the other coatings. The thicknesses of Ni coating and Ni–AlN nanocoatings were approximately 56 µm. The average atomic percent of Al and Ni elements in the Ni–AlN nano-coating prepared by using ultrasound, were approximately 21.4 at% and 47.5 at%, respectively. The maximum kinetic energy of the jet plating solution was 916 m2/s2 during JPE-deposited Ni-AlN nanocoatings including ultrasound. The average micro-hardness value of the nano-coating prepared by using ultrasound equaled 767.9 HV. The Ni–AlN nanocoatings prepared using ultrasound had the minimum Ecorr and Icorr values of ? 0.167 V and 6.363 × 10?6 mA/cm2, respectively. In this case, the demonstrated corrosion resistance was the most efficient. The Ni–AlN nanocoatings prepared using ultrasound sustained the minimum friction coefficients and the average friction coefficient was approximately 0.52. In contrast, the JPE-deposited Ni coating presented the maximum friction coefficient, while the average friction coefficient was approximately 1.43. |
