Plating of the sintered components has some problems due to interconnected porosities in
those parts. In this research, iron-based sintered specimens infiltrated with copper were used. The
pretreated specimens were then plated with nickel and the adhesion of coated layer to substrate was
investigated. The results showed that the adhesion of coated layer in copper infiltrated iron sintered
components is independent of substrate initial density.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
