Analysis of coating interlayer between silicon nitride cutting tools and titanium carbide and titanium nitride coatings

Parametric optimization and prediction of electroless Ni–B deposition

“…The deposited mass per unit area for 30 min deposition time has been denoted by y. Eq. (2) has been fitted to the observed data by using MATLAB software (version 6.12). Hence, the fitted first order RSM can be written as follows (for k = 3): …”

“…Surface properties like wear resistance, abrasion resistance, hardness and corrosion resistance can be improved using internal oxidation [1], chemical vapour deposition [2,3], physical vapour deposition [3], electroplating [4] and many other means [3][4][5]. Recently, more attention is being paid towards metal deposition processes using aqueous solutions [6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

Effect of Cu on the surface hardness of Ni−B coating for the strengthening of the Cu surface

“…However, with a lower strength and poor wear resistance, this material cannot be used in certain applications where excellent strength or good wear resistance are required [1]. In order to improve the wear resistance of pure Cu, several methods have been developed that raise the strength and wear resistance, including internal oxidation [2], chemical vapor deposition (CVD) [3,4], electroplating, electroless plating [5], and other methods [6][7][8]. Among these methods, electroless plating has the advantages of simplicity and greater relative feasibility in terms of changing the characteristics of a pure Cu surface [1].…”

Application of response surface method for predicting electroless nickel plating

“…In strongly alkaline solution (11 6 pH 6 14), the following reactions take place: 2 O þ H 2 and also 8NaBH 4 þ 10NiCl 2 þ 17NaOH þ 3H 2 O !
