Abstract: | For the first time, functionally ZrO2 content graded Ni-ZrO2 composite coating has been successfully co-electrodeposited from a bath with gradually increasing stirring rate. For this, different composite coatings were electroplated in the same bath with different stirring rates to find the optimum stirring rate in which the maximum content with uniform distribution of ZrO2 particles in the coating can be achieved. To produce ZrO2 content graded Ni-ZrO2 composite coating, the stirring rate was continuously increased from 0 to optimum value. By increasing of ZrO2 particles content, the microhardness increases from interface towards the surface of the coating. The results of wear resistance measurements, Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization test revealed that wear and corrosion resistances of functionally graded Ni-ZrO2 (FGNZ) is higher than that of ordinary Ni-ZrO2 (ONZ) composite coating. This result has been attributed to lower mechanical mismatch between coating and substrate in the functionally graded composite coating with respect to the uniformly distributed one. |
