AbstractNi-based alloy coatings prepared by laser cladding has high bonding strength, excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The mechanical properties of coatings can be further improved by changing the composition of alloy powders. This paper reviewed the improved microstructure and mechanical properties of Ni-based composite coatings by hard particles, single element and rare earth elements. The problems that need to be solved for the particle-reinforced nickel-based alloy coatings are pointed out. The prospects of the research are also discussed.

Process and properties of pulse electrodeposited RE-Ni-W-P-SiC composite coatings were studied. The results show that the deposited rate by pulse current is larger than that by direct current; the deposited coatings by pulse current are better than that by direct current in corrosion resistance and microhardness. And the corrosion resistance of the coatings with pulse current is better than that of stainless steel (1Cr18Ni9Ti). The duty ratio and the pulse frequency in the process of electrodeposition have a large influence on the deposition rate, the composition and the properties of coatings. SEM measurement shows that the crystals with pulse current are smaller and the surface is smoother than that by direct current. It is beneficial to make crystalline grain finer by mixing rare earth.

Copper ( Cu ) is widely used as electrical conducting and contacting material. However, Cu is soft and does not have good mechanical properties. In order to improve the hardness and wear resistance of Cu , sol-enhanced Cu – Al 2 O 3 nanocomposite coatings were electroplated by adding a transparent Al oxide ( Al 2 O 3) sol into the traditional electroplating Cu solution. It was found that the microstructure and mechanical properties of the nanocomposite coatings were largely influenced by the Al 2 O 3 sol concentration. The results show that the Al 2 O 3 nanoparticle reinforced the composite coatings, resulting in significantly improved hardness and wear resistance in comparison with the pure Cu coatings. The coating prepared at the sol concentration of 3.93 mol/L had the best microhardness and wear resistance. The microhardness has been improved by ~20% from 145.5 HV (Vickers hardness number) of pure Cu coating to 173.3 HV of Cu – Al 2 O 3 composite coatings. The wear resistance was also improved by ~84%, with the wear volume loss dropped from 3.2 × 10-3 mm3 of Cu coating to 0.52 × 10-3 mm3 of composite coatings. Adding excessive sol to the electrolyte deteriorated the properties.

The development of deposition of different metal processes established on electrodeposition of nickel, different alloy and composite coatings on different surfaces has attested an upsurge in interest among researchers. In latter years, these coatings have exhibited promising corrosion and wear resistance properties. Also, huge number of modern developments became most critical from macro to nano level applications. It is well known that one may shape the microstructure and the phase present in the material to recover the mechanical properties of highly pure materials, specifically metals. Co-deposition of fine particles inside a metal matrix to generate composite coatings has treated as a practical strategy to acquire enhanced mechanical properties like wear resistance, corrosion resistance and lubrication. In this work, CuO/Ni composite coatings are processed on the small cylindrical pin by electro brush plating to evaluate the wear and corrosion resistance. To examine the effects about the different parameters of processes on wear loss of CuO/Ni composite coating, L16(44) orthogonal experiment is designed and conducted with four process parameters (voltage, concentration of nanoCuO particles in g/l, temperature and thickness) which are selected as factors. Design of experiment is employed to resolve the effects of process parameters on the wear loss of composite coatings. It is concluded that concentration of CuO nanoparticle and voltage are the most significant factors for the wear loss.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of CeO2/Y2O3/ZrO2 ceramics were investigated using ultrafine CeO2/Y2O3/ZrO2 powder as the starting material. The structures of CeO2/Y2O3/ZrO2 containing 8~12mol% CeO2 were composed of tetragonal phases. They exhibited an extremely high bending strength (950 MPa) and fracture toughness (12MPa·m1/2). The structural details of CeO2/Y2O3/ ZrO2 were studied by TEM, SEM and XRD. The effects of the structure on mechanical properties were discussed. Plungers and ball valves by the CeO2/Y2O3/ZrO2 ceramics have higher wear resistance and corrosion resistance than metal. Their service life is about 6 ~ 10 fold more than that of metal.

The effect of heat treatment on the structure and properties of composite coatings based on chromium carbide with titanium carbide fabricated by non-vacuum electron beam cladding without has been studied. It was shown that tempering leads to a decrease in microhardness and wear resistance, which is associated with the decomposition of the austenitic structure with the formation of a soft ferrite-carbide structure. The post heat treatment tempering was showed to decrease of microhardness and wear resistance, which leads to the decomposition of the austenitic structure with the formation of a soft ferrite-carbide structure. The bulk quenching of coatings after tempering leads to an increase in microhardness comparable to the values of microhardness in the initial state after electron beam cladding, due to the formation of high hard martensite. The wear resistance of composite coatings after tempering is lower than after cladding due to brittle martensite, which is not able to hold solid carbide particles. The composite coatings obtained at the optimal processing conditions have a combination of improved properties and do not require additional heat treatment, resulting in structural changes, causing a decrease in mechanical properties.
