Composite plating of Ni/SiC using azo-cationic surfactants and wear resistance of coatings

Mechanical and anticorrosive properties of copper matrix micro- and nano-composite coatings

“…The electrolytic codeposition of ceramic particles for the production of metal matrix composite coatings is a research domain of wide interest as these coatings might be used for a large field of industrial applications, especially in cases where high abrasive and protective properties are required [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. On the other hand there is not so much literature about the copper matrix composite coatings.…”

Electrochemical deposition and tribological behaviour of Ni and Ni–Co metal matrix composites with SiC nano-particles

“…The presence of fine particles as the second phase improves the microhardness, high temperature inertness, wear and corrosion resistance of the composite coatings [1][2][3][4][5][6]. High wear resistance, low cost and chemical inertness of ceramic oxides, carbides and nitrides has led to their widespread use as distributed phase [2,7].…”

“…The availability of nano-size particles in late 1990s and the resulting enhanced properties imparted by them to the coating have increased the interest in the production of Ni based nano-composite coatings [1,10]. Quite a lot of researchers have studied the incorporation of micro/sub micro SiC in nickel matrix [1][2][3]9,[11][12][13][14][15]. Studies have also been reported on the influence of operating parameters on the codeposition of nano-SiC [2,5,10,[16][17][18].…”

Hardening effect induced by incorporation of SiC particles in nickel electrodeposits

“…Considerable research has been mainly focused on the impact of the electrodepostion parameters: electrolysis conditions (composition of the electrolytic bath, presence of additives, pH value), current conditions (type of imposed current and values of the current density) and properties of the reinforcing particles (size, surface properties, concentration and type of dispersion in the bath) on the electrolytic codeposition process of SiC with Ni, as well as the properties of the composite electrocoatings [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. In general, it has been observed that the amount of embedded SiC particles increases with both increasing concentration of suspended SiC particles and surfactant or organic additives in the electrolyte [14][15][16][17][18]. It has also been reported that a decrease in the SiC particle size affects the wear and corrosion resistance in a positive way [6,9,17].…”
