“…The most employed matrices have been nickel and its alloys and the incorporated reinforcements usually had been carbides, silicides, nitrides, metal powders and oxides. These coatings are extensively studied with the object of hardness and wear resistance amelioration, improving of anti-corrosion properties, impartation of self-lubrication characteristics and obtaining higher service temperatures [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. With the increasing availability of ever decreasing particle sizes, quite many scholars have investigated to greatest extent on incorporation of micron, submicron and nanoparticles in metallic matrices.…”
