The kinetic features of electrodeposition process of a wear-and corrosion-resistant composite electrochemical nickel-cobalt-aluminum oxide coating were investigated. Potentiodynamic studies showed that in the process of the CEC formation at the cathode the electrode polarization decreases, and the value of the limiting current density increases by more than twice. Consequently, the rate of the CEC electrodeposition process increases and the range of operating current densities expand in comparison with the control coating with the Ni-Co alloy. Temperature-kinetic, chronopotentiometric methods, values of the temperature coefficient of the reaction rate and the diffusion coefficients of nickel ions were used to determine the mechanism of CEC electrodeposition. As the result of determining the nature of limiting stage of the electrodeposition process of CEC nickel-cobalt-aluminum oxide, it was found that it is caused by such two coupled processes proceeding at comparable rates, as electrophoretic transfer of electroactive particles to the cathode and overgrowing of dispersed particles adsorbed on the cathode surface with electrodeposited metals.
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.
