Abstract: (8791 Views)
Composite and nanocomposite Ni-Co/SiC coatings were synthesized by electro-codeposition of micro and nano-sized SiC particles with average diameter of 10m and 20nm using horizontal electrodes. Surface morphology, chemical composition, phase composition, hardness and corrosion resistance of the deposited coatings were studied using SEM observations and EDX, XRD, microhardness and polarization measurements as a function of the electrodeposition current density. The results indicated that the nanocomposite coatings exhibit higher hardness and corrosion resistance compared with the composite coatings containing micro-sized SiC particles despite their lower percentage of the SiC content. The maximum hardness values of 615HV and 490HV were obtained for nanocomposite and composite coatings deposited at current density of 3A/dm2. The observed properties were discussed based on the structural details.
Keywords: Composite coatings, Nanocomposite coatings, Ni-Co/SiC, Electrodeposition, Microhardness, Corrosion resistance.
