The coatings ZrB2 and Zr-B-N were deposited by magnetron sputtering of ZrB2 target in Ar and Ar–15%N2 atmospheres. The structure and properties of the coatings were investigated via scanning and transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersion analysis, optical profilometry, glowing discharge optical emission spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. Mechanical and tribological properties of the coatings were investigated using nanoindentation, “pin-on-disc” tribological testing and “ball-on-plate” impact testing. Free corrosion potential and corrosion current density were measured by electrochemical testing in 1N H2SO4 and 3.5%NaCl solutions. The oxidation resistance of the coatings was investigated in the 600–800 °С temperature interval. The coatings deposited in Ar contained 4–11 nm grains of the h-ZrB2 phase along with free boron. Nitrogen-containing coatings consisted of finer crystals (1–4 nm) of h-ZrB2, separated by interlayers of amorphous a-BN. Both types of coatings featured hardness of 22–23 GPa; however, the introduction of nitrogen decreased the coating’s elastic modulus from 342 to 266 GPa and increased the elastic recovery from 62 to 72%, which enhanced the wear resistance of the coatings. N-doped coatings demonstrated a relatively low friction coefficient of 0.4 and a specific wear rate of ~1.3 × 10−6 mm3N−1m−1. Electrochemical investigations revealed that the introduction of nitrogen into the coatings resulted in the decrease of corrosion current density in 3.5% NaCl and 1N H2SO4 solution up to 3.5 and 5 times, correspondingly. The superior corrosion resistance of Zr-В-N coatings was related to the finer grains size and increased volume of the BN phase. The samples ZrB2 and Zr-B-N resisted oxidation at 600 °C. N-free coatings resisted oxidation (up to 800 °С) and the diffusion of metallic elements from the substrate better. In contrast, Zr-B-N coatings experienced total oxidation and formed loose oxide layers, which could be easily removed from the substrate.

Electroless nickel composite coatings possess excellent mechanical and tribological properties such as, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance. Composite coatings can easily be coated not only on electrically conductive materials but also on non-conductive materials like as fabrics, plastics, rubber, etc. This review emphasizes on the development of electroless nickel composite coatings by incorporating different types of hard/soft particles (micro/nano size) in the electroless Ni-P matrix to improve the mechanical and tribological properties of the coatings. The preparation of electroless bath for nickel-phosphorus composite coating, methods to incorporate hard and/or soft particles in the bath, factors affecting the particle incorporation in the coating and its effect on coating structure, hardness, wear resistance, friction behavior, corrosion resistance, and mechanical properties are discussed thoroughly.

Composite Ni/Al2O3 coatings were electrochemically deposited from a Watts bath modified with the organic additions of dioctyl sulphosuccinate sodium salt C20H37NaO7S–(DSS) and 2,3-dihydroxy-1,2 benzisothiazol-3-one 1,1-dioxide C7H5NO3–(LSA). The effect of different amount (50 and 100 g/l) of Al2O3 powder and organic additions on microstructure, microhardness, corrosion resistance and tribological properties was investigated. The coatings were examined by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The electrochemical behaviour of the coatings in corrosive solutions (1 M NaCl and 1 M Na2SO4) was investigated by potentiodynamic polarisation. The tribological properties were investigated by the Taber abrasive wear test, a standard test often applied in industrial practice. The results show that Al2O3 particles are uniformly distributed in the composite coatings compared with coatings without organic additions. The addition of organic compounds also reduced the size of the forming nickel crystallites and improved the tribological and corrosion properties of coatings containing the dispersed hard particles of Al2O3 added in an amount of 50 g/l and the addition of organic LSA and DSS compounds.

Ni-Mo-ZrO2 composite coatings were produced by pulse electrodeposition technique from alkaline electrolytes containing dispersed ZrO2 nanopowder. The structure, microhardness, corrosion properties and tribological properties of Ni-Mo-ZrO2 composites with different content of molybdenum and ZrO2 have also been examined. Structural characterization was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was found that an increase in molybdate concentration in the electrolyte affects the microstructure, microhardness, corrosion properties and tribological properties of the amount of co-deposited ZrO2 nanoparticles. The incorporation of ZrO2 nanoparticles into the Ni-Mo alloy matrix positively affects the microhardness and also slightly improves the corrosion properties of Ni-Mo alloy coatings. In addition, both the coefficient of friction and the salt-water lubrication sliding wear rate of Ni-Mo-ZrO2 coatings decreased with increasing the ZrO2 content. Wear test and corrosion resistance test results indicated that the intermetallic composite had an excellent wear-resistance and corrosion resistance at room-temperature, which is attributed to the high hardness and strong atomic bonding of constituent phases Ni-Mo and polarization effect of ZrO2 nanoparticles.

NbN/TiN, TiNb-NX and CH-TiNb-N12 coatings are deposited by RF magnetron sputtering to determine the tribological properties and corrosion resistance. ‘x’ is the flux rate for nitrogen and ‘CH’ signifies the addition of acetylene. In terms of the corrosion resistance, all the coatings have a similar corrosion potential and NbN/TiN multilayer coatings exhibit the lowest corrosion current. The NbN/TiN multilayer has a low pitting potential so severe pitting corrosion is observed on the surface. CH-TiNb-N12 coating is most resistant to corrosion and exhibits no pitting before the test ends. In contact with counter-bodies with a Si3N4 ball or an AISI 52100 ball, a CH-TiNb-N12 coating acts as a solid lubricant so the wear mechanism shows the least abrasion. The CH-TiNb-N12 coating has the lowest wear rate and coefficient of friction for sliding against Si3N4 and AISI 52100 balls. The wear rate is respectively 3.2 and 6.8 times less than that for SKH51 substrate when sliding against Si3N4 and AISI 52100 balls. The results for this study show that a TiNb-N12-CH coating has the best tribological properties and corrosion resistance.

Abstract In this work, polyetheretherketone-based TiN/PEEK708 nanocomposite coatings on oxygen hardened Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy substrates were fabricated by using cathodic electrophoretic deposition and post-heat treatment. The microstructure of coatings was investigated by using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffractometry. The scratch resistance, tribological properties, and electrochemical corrosion resistance were also studied. The results show that homogeneous TiN/PEEK708 coatings may be deposited from ethanol-based suspensions containing cationic chitosan polyelectrolyte, which provides electrosteric stabilization of the suspension. Heat treatment densified the coatings and changed the PEEK structure from amorphous to semi-crystalline. The coatings were characterized by very good scratch resistance, with no cohesive and adhesive cracks being observed up to the load of 30 N. They reduced the coefficient of friction from 0.70 for the baseline alloy and 0.65 for the oxygen hardened alloy to 0.30. They also significantly increased the wear resistance of the alloy during dry sliding contact with an alumina ball. The wear rate of the coated oxygen hardened alloy was about 70 and 650 times lower in comparison with the oxygen hardened and baseline alloy, respectively. The corrosion studies demonstrated that the baseline and oxygen hardened alloy have comparable corrosion resistance. The TiN/PEEK708 coating enhanced the electrochemical corrosion resistance of the alloy in the NaCl aqueous solution.
