Cr颗粒对Ni-Graphene复合沉积层组织结构及性能的优化

目的电沉积技术制备Ni-Cr-Graphene复合沉积层,调查不同Cr颗粒浓度对复合沉积层组织结构及性能的优化影响。方法利用电沉积技术在镍铝青铜(NAB)表面制备出Ni-Cr-Graphene复合沉积层。采用X射线衍射仪(XRD)、扫描电镜(SEM)、能谱仪(EDS)与拉曼光谱仪(Raman),对复合沉积层的形貌、成分与组织结构(晶粒大小、结晶形状及结晶织构)进行表征,并采用显微硬度计与电化学工作站分别对沉积层的硬度及耐腐蚀性能进行调查。结果Graphene颗粒使得纯Ni沉积层中的Ni晶粒尺寸由175.3 nm减小到Ni-0Cr-4Graphene沉积层中的Ni晶粒尺寸60.5nm。随着Cr颗粒质量浓度进一步从0g/L增加到100 g/L,Ni-Cr-Graphene复合沉积层中的Cr质量分数从0%增加到23.8%,且Ni晶粒尺寸进一步减小到Ni-100Cr-4Graphene沉积层的29.1nm,Ni[200]结晶织构被消除。Graphene与Cr颗粒显著提高了Ni-CrGraphene复合沉积层的表面硬度,所有复合沉积层的显微硬度均高于纯Ni沉积层(260.1HV0.2),且在100 g/L Cr颗粒浓度下,沉积层平均显微硬度为489.8HV0.2。同时Graphene与Cr颗粒改善了Ni-Cr-Graphene复合沉积层在3.5%NaCl溶液中的耐腐蚀性能,在100 g/L Cr颗粒浓度下,复合沉积层的自腐蚀电位(Ecorr)为-0.21 V,自腐蚀电流密度(Jcorr)为0.25μA/cm^2,其相对纯Ni沉积层Jcorr(7.01μA/cm^2)降低了1个数量级。结论溶液中Cr颗粒浓度的增加引起了Ni-Cr-Graphene复合沉积层中Cr含量的增加,使得更多Cr颗粒与Graphene颗粒共同作为Ni金属结晶形核点,促进了Ni的晶粒细化与织构转变,最终提高了复合沉积层的硬度与耐腐蚀性能。     

Amorphization of Fe38Ni30Si16B14V2 surface layers by laser cladding

Fe38Ni30Si16B14V2 amorphous composite coatings were fabricated by laser cladding on AISI 1045 steel in order to increase the wear resistance. The phase and microstructure of the coatings were analyzed by X-ray diffractometry and transmission electron microscopy. The wear properties of the coatings were also investigated by means of sliding wear test. The results show that the coating consists of amorphous phase in majority and nanocrystalline phase in minority. The amorphous coatings can be obtained while the scanning speed is 3 500 mm/min and the laser power is 4.8 kW. With increase of the laser power, the amorphous phase in the coating increases when it is lower than 4.8 kW. A gradient distribution of the microhardness ranges from Hv0.2 1 208 to Hv0.2 891 in the coating from top surface of the coating to the substrate. The amorphous coating is found to possess better property of wear than AISI 1045 steel substrate.     

Influence of Al on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Cr–Zr–(Al–)N coatings with low and high Zr content

Low Zr (S1) and high Zr (S2) quaternary Cr–Zr–(Al–)N coatings with increasing Al content were deposited by d.c. reactive magnetron sputtering. The structure, fracture cross-section morphology and mechanical properties of the coatings were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nanoindentation, scratch testing and Vickers micro-indentation testing. All the coatings present an fcc NaCl-type B1 structure; in the low Zr content coatings, the diffraction peaks shift towards higher angles as the Al content increases. The grain size is approximately constant in a range from 6 to 8 nm, except for high Zr content films where a significant decrease in crystalline order is observed (grain size ~ 2.5 nm). In both series, the microstructure changed from equiaxed to columnar with increasing Al content. The highest hardness and strongest adhesion values were achieved in coatings with lower Zr and Al content. Conversely, the coatings with high Zr and the highest Al content exhibited an abrupt decrease in hardness, adhesion strength and toughness.

The morphology and corrosion resistance of electrodeposited Co‐TiO2 nanocomposite coatings

Co‐TiO₂ nanocomposite coatings with various contents of TiO₂ nanoparticles were prepared by electrodeposition in Co sulfate plating bath containing TiO₂ nanoparticles. The influence of the TiO₂ nanoparticles concentration in the bath, of the current density and of sodium dodecyle sulfate (SDS) as anionic surfactant on the morphology, composition, texture, roughness, and microhardness of the coatings was investigated. The morphology and composition of coatings were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The phase structure of coatings was analyzed by X‐ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the maximum codeposition of TiO₂ nanoparticles in Co matrix was around 4.5 vol% obtained in 60 g/L TiO₂ in the bath, 30 mA/cm² and 0.15 g/L SDS. The microhardness of coatings was increased up to 504 Hv by increasing TiO₂ concentration in the bath to 60 g/L TiO₂. The electrochemistry tests including potentiodynamic polarization and impedance spectroscopy revealed that by addition of TiO₂ into Co matrix, the corrosion current density, polarization resistance, and charge transfer resistance of Co‐TiO₂ coating were increased compared with Co coating.     

Effects of carbide size and Co content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of HVOF-sprayed WC-Co coatings

Twelve commercially available WC-Co powders with different average WC grain sizes (0.2, 2, and 6 μm) and cobalt contents (8, 12, 17 and 25 wt.%) were sprayed on carbon steel substrates using High Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) spraying process. Hardness, Young's modulus, and fracture toughness of the coatings were measured. While the hardness and Young's modulus decreased with increasing cobalt content from 1600 to 1100 Hv and from 400 to 300 GPa respectively, the fracture toughness remained in the range from 4 to 6 MPam^1/2. The coatings with 2 μm carbide showed lower hardness than those deposited from 0.2 and 6 μm carbide. These measured mechanical properties were discussed with the help of microstructures of the coatings investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis. Finally, the hardness of the binder phase in these coatings was estimated to range from 1000 to 1300 Hv by applying the mixture rule for composites to the experimental data, demonstrating that such hardening of the binder phase is a key factor affecting the mechanical properties of the coatings.     

Si3N4/Ni nanocomposite formed by electroplating:Effect of average size of nanoparticulates

Properties of Si3N4/Ni electroplated nanocomposite such as corrosion current density after long time immersion,roughness of obtained layer and distribution of nanometric particulates were studied.Other effective factors for fabrication of nanocomposite coatings were fixed for better studying the effect of the average size of nanoparticulates.The effects of the different average size of nanometric particulates(ASNP)from submicron scale(less than 1μm)to nanometric scale(less than 10 nm)were studied.The nanostructures of surfaces were examined by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM)and atomic force microscopy(AFM).Corrosion rates of the coatings were determined using the Tafel polarization test.It is seen that decreasing the ASNP will lead to lower corrosion current densities;however,in some cases,pitting phenomena are observed.The roughness illustrates a minimum level while the distribution of nanometric particulates is more uniform by decreasing the ASNP.The effects of pulsed current on electrodeposition(frequency,duty cycle)and concentration of nanoparticulates in electrodeposition bath on trend of obtained curves have been discussed.Response surface methodology was applied for optimizing the effective operating conditions of coatings.The levels studied were frequency range between 1 000 and 9 000 Hz,duty cycle between 10%and 90%and concentration of nanoparticulates of 10-90 g/L.     

The effect of saccharin addition and bath temperature on the grain size of nanocrystalline nickel coatings

Nanocrystalline nickel coating was synthesized by direct current electrodeposition from a Watts bath at the current density of 100 mA/cm² and pH = 4. The effect of saccharin addition (0-10 g/l) and bath temperature (45-65 °C) on the average grain size of the deposits was investigated by XRD technique. The results showed that the average grain size decreased from 426 nm to 25 nm as the saccharin concentration increased from 0 to 3 g/l, while further increase in saccharin concentration had no significant effect. Theoretical model also indicated a non-linear function for dependence of grain size on saccharin concentration, which was in accordance with experimental results. The experimental results showed that the increases in the bath temperature had no considerable effect on the average grain size of the deposits. A theoretical formula was also established for the temperature dependence of the grain size.

The effect of current density on the grain size of electrodeposited nanocrystalline nickel coatings

The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of current density on the grain size of electrodeposited nickel coatings. For this purpose, nanocrystalline nickel coatings were deposited from a Watts bath containing 5 g/l sodium saccharin as an additive, by direct current electroplating at different current densities. X-ray diffraction analysis and modified Williamson–Hall relation were used to determine the average grains size of the coatings. The experimental results showed that the coating grains size decreased sharply by increasing the current density from 10 mA/cm² to 75 mA/cm². Nanocrystalline nickel coating with average grain size smaller than 30 nm can be achieved at the current densities higher than 50 mA/cm². Furthermore, a general and simple theoretical model based on atomistic theory of electrocrystallization has been made in order to find out the relationship between the grain size and current density. According to this model the variation of log (d) versus log (i) was linear which is in accordance with experimental results for the current densities lower than 75 mA/cm².

Effects of sodium tungstate on properties of micro-arc coatings on magnesium alloys

Anodic coatings were prepared by micro-arc oxidation on AZ91HP magnesium alloys in a base solution containing 10 g/L NaOH and 12 g/L phytic acid with addition of 0-8 g/L sodium tungstate.

The sodium tungstate has a minor effect on the coating thickness, but lightens the coating color. With increasing sodium tungstate concentration, the size of micropores on the coatings is enlarged and the corrosion resistance of the anodized samples decreases.

Synthesis, characterization and optimization of nanostructured Fe-Ni coatings by electrodeposition method

In this paper, nanostructured Fe-Ni coatings were successfully coated onto steel substrates by electrodeposition method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were all employed to characterize nanostructured coatings.

Furthermore, utilizing argon gas during the coating procedure reduced the amount of cavities on the surface of coatings. The coatings had different morphologies depending on the current density and Ni content of the solutions. With optimizing the coating procedure parameters, a coating with star-like morphology and crystallite size of about 16 nm was obtained.
