Impact performance of electrodeposited nickel coating on steel substrate

The elastic-plastic finite element method of a dynamic explicit algorithm was used to simulate the deep drawing processes of nickel coating electrodeposited on a steel substrate to form an advanced battery shell. The Belytschko-Wong-Chiang shell element was used to mesh the materials, the kinematical work-hardening model was adopted for the components, and the tied-with-failure contact criterion was given to the interfacial combination. The rate-type elastic-plastic constitute law was employed to handle the large deformation, and the central difference method was utilized to solve the finite element equations. The simulations of the materials in the first and final processes illustrated that the steel substrate and the nickel coating were simultaneously deformed and yielded in the die fillet profile and the flange area. The thickness variation of the nickel coating and steel substrate was dependent on the main principal stress, and their variation rule was consistent. In the entire drawing processes, the thinnest region after forming was at the lower part of the cup near the cup bottom, the extent of the coating being thinned after drawing was acceptable, and the material was capable of forming the battery shell. The simulated results were partly compared with tests and other analysis and showed good agreement.

Element Method

A finite element method is used to simulate the deep drawing processes of nickel coating with steel substrate into battery shells. The Belytschko-Wong-Chiang shell elements are used and the kinematical work hardening model is adopted, while the ties with failure contact criterion is given to the coating and substrate interface. The stress-strain field and interfacial stresses in the drawing processes are obtained. The nickel coating appeared to be yielded in the drawing processes, of which the maximum effective stress reached 241MPa, and the biggest effective strain reached 0.7524. The interfacial stresses in the coating and substrate varied during the drawing process, and their maximal values reached 40MPa in compressive state.

Sliding wear and hardness tests in Ni/Cu multilayers electrodeposited on polycrystalline copper substrate were carried out. The multilayers had a total thickness of 5 μm and an individual layer thickness from 5 to 100 nm. Hardness of the multilayers measured with a nanoindentation tester was found to be dependent on layer thickness. The multilayer with the layer thickness of 20 nm showed the highest value among them. It was found that the wear resistances of all the multilayers tested were higher than that of an electrodeposited nickel coating. It was also revealed that the specific wear rate of multilayers decreased with decreasing the layer thickness although the highest hardness was attained at the 20 nm layer thickness. Scanning ion microscope observation showed that the subsurface area kept the layered structure of nickel and copper even after sliding wear. The multilayer had plasticity sufficient to accommodate deformation coming from the sliding wear, because fine grains peculiar to severe plastic deformation process were formed near the worm surface.

Sliding Distance

Nickel coating on zinc alloy is quite promising for the achievement of an additional wear improvement in corrosive environment. To investigate this point, block-on-ring tests were carried out. Blocks measuring 5 × 5×20 mm3 were obtained from real locking components, made of ZP5 EN 12844 and coated by Zn/Cu1Ni5s ISO 1458. As counter material, an AISI 304 with a 40 mm diameter cylindrical geometry was used. Three load levels (5, 10 and 15 N) and three coating thickness levels (low: 5 to 10 µm; medium: 10 to 15 µm; high: 15 to 20 µm) were considered. The sliding distance was initially set to 500 m. Then, since the coating was worn out very quickly during the test, the sliding distance was set to 150 m. The results, in terms of volume loss due to wear, were processed using the statistical tool of two-way ANOVA and Fisher test. It was assessed that the wear rate is strongly affected by the applied load. The coating thickness does not significantly affect the wear.

This paper investigated the effect of nano-SiC particle on microstructure and properties of brush electroplated nano-Al2O3/Ni composite coating. Three kinds of coatings, such as pure nickel coating, nano-Al2O3/Ni composite coating and nano-SiC-Al2O3/Ni composite coating, were fabricated on 1045 steel substrate. Before deposited, Zeta potential of nano-particles in the solution was examined. The results show Zeta potential of the nanoparticles in the nano-Al2O3/Ni electrolyte is negative, but that of the nanoparticles in nano-SiC-Al2O3/Ni electrolyte is positive when the pH value of electrolyte is about 7.5. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) results show Al element content in the nano-Al2O3/Ni coating is 5.65%, while the content of Al and Si elements in nano-SiC-Al2O3/Ni coating is 5.63% and 4.86% respectively. It confirms that nano-SiC particle co-deposited in the composite coating while nano-Al2O3 particle content keeps constant. The microhardness of nano-SiC-Al2O3/Ni coating exhibits the highest, while the pure nickel coating is the lowest. And surface morphology of nano-SiC-Al2O3/Ni coating is the most smooth and compact among the three coatings. The wear test results reveal that wear resistance of nano-SiC-Al2O3/Ni coating is 1.7 times of that of nano-Al2O3/Ni coating, and 2.3 times of that of pure nickel coating. The above results show the nano-SiC particle services a strengthening effect on the combination performance of nano-SiC-Al2O3/Ni coating.
