The synthesized tungsten nanoparticles (0.5 g/l, range 40 to 150 nm) are dispersed randomly into electroless Ni-P matrix for Ni-P-W nanocompositeplatings on an AISI1040 grade steel substrate (MS). The thickness of these deposits is in range of 15 to 25 micrometer. The scanning electron microscope attached in permutation of energy dispersive spectroscopy furthermore Xray diffraction techniques were exploited to analyze surface morphology, elemental symphony and phases of platings correspondingly. The results of these studies reveal successful fusion of tungsten nanoparticles as white globules into electroless Ni-P matrix and with those as-deposited platings have amorphous structure and heated platings (400°C) have crystalline structure. Further Ni-P/Ni-P-W platings are investigated for microhardness by respective technique. The results of the studies corroborate that inclusion of tungsten nanoparticles into electroless Ni-P plating enhances the microhardness. The phase transformation initiation of amorphous nickel is headed toward nickel phosphide and crystalline nickel completely at 400°C which improved microhardness of nanocomposite Ni-P-W electrolessplatings.

In current investigation, the Ni-P-W/ZrO2 electroless nanocomposite coatings are deposited upon mild steel substrate (AISI 1040 grade). The W/ZrO2 nanoparticles (50 to 130 nm range) were incorporated separately into acidic electroless Ni-P matrix as a second phase materials. The as-plated EL Ni-P-W/ZrO2 depositions were also heated at 400 οC in Argon atmosphere for one hour duration and analyzed by SEM/EDAX and XRD physical methods. The Ni-P-W/ZrO2 as-plated coupons revealed nebulous type structures while heated coupons showed crystalline structures in both cases. Furthermore Ni-P-ZrO2 coatings have very less cracks and gaps as compared to Ni-P-W coatings. The corrosion tests result in peracid (0.30 ± 0.02 % active oxygen) solutions point up that corrosivity of peracid ( 500 ppm Cl) is more than peracid (0 ppm Cl) and corrosion resistance of tested coupons varies as Ni-P-ZrO2 (as-plated) > Ni-P-ZrO2 (heated) > Ni-P-W (as-plated) > Ni-P-W (heated) > MS. The utilization of Ni-P-ZrO2 nanocomposite coatings in peracid solutions can be considered a cost effective option on the basis of its better cost/strength ratio in addition to its fair corrosion resistance.

Ni-P-W composite deposit on the mild steel substrate was derived by the electroless process. The composition of the eletroless coating was Ni-10.7wt.%P-8.7wt%W analyzed by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). The coating was annealed at various temperatures from 350oC to 600oC for 4h and the structure at different heat-treated temperature was studied by X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The crystallization behavior was evaluated by the differential scanning calorimeter analysis with continuously heating from room temperature to 550oC at different heating rates. The hardness at all depths of the coating on the substrate could be acquired by the nanoindentation. From the DSC analysis, the onset temperature and crystallization temperature were 397.7oC and 405.5oC, respectively, at the heating rate of 10oC/min. The activation energy of the Ni-P-W coating was 307 kJ/mol analyzed by Kissinger, and Augis and Bennett methods with different heating rates. The Ni-P-W coating showed an amorphous structure in the as-deposited state and exhibited a relatively low hardness of approximately 6.8 GPa. As temperature was raised to 380oC, the hardness was slightly increased to 8.7 GPa due to the partial precipitation of Ni and Ni3P in the amorphous matrix. On heating to 500oC for 4 h, the hardness reached the maximum value of 12.3 GPa with a grain size of 33.1 nm and followed by gradual degradation above 500oC.

In this work, a mechanically durable anticorrosion superhydrophobic coating is developed using a nanocomposite coating solution composed of silica nanoparticles and epoxy resin. The nanocomposite coating developed was tested for its superhydrophobic behavior using goniometry; surface morphology using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy; elemental composition using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy; corrosion resistance using atomic force microscopy; and potentiodynamic polarization measurements. The nanocomposite coating possesses hierarchical micro/nanostructures, according to the scanning electron microscopy images, and the presence of such structures was further confirmed by the atomic force microscopy images. The developed nanocomposite coating was found to be highly superhydrophobic as well as corrosion resistant, according to the results from static contact angle measurement and potentiodynamic polarization measurement, respectively. The abrasion resistance and mechanical durability of the nanocomposite coating were studied by abrasion tests, and the mechanical properties such as reduced modulus and Berkovich hardness were evaluated with the aid of nanoindentation tests.

In this paper, response surface methodology (RSM) was utilized for the experiment design of CuSO4 and H2SO4 concentrations and current densities. RSM was also used to evaluate the significance of each parameter and its interaction on the adhesion strength of austenitic stainless steel substrate. Adhesion strength was investigated by a Teer ST-30 tester, and the structure of the samples investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results showed that increasing the concentration of CuSO4 and decreasing theat of H2SO4 strengthens adhesion. Conversely, the current density only has a slight effect.

Cu–Mn–Dy resistive thin films were prepared on glass and Al2O3 substrates, which wasachieved by co-sputtering the Cu–Mn alloy and dysprosium targets. The effects of the addition ofdysprosium on the electrical properties and microstructures of annealed Cu–Mn alloy films wereinvestigated. The composition, microstructural and phase evolution of Cu–Mn–Dy films werecharacterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electronmicroscopy and X-ray diffraction. All Cu–Mn–Dy films showed an amorphous structure when theannealing temperature was set at 300 °C. After the annealing temperature was increased to 350 °C,the MnO and Cu phases had a significant presence in the Cu–Mn films. However, no MnO phaseswere observed in Cu–Mn–Dy films at 350 °C. Even Cu–Mn–Dy films annealed at 450 °C showedno MnO phases. This is because Dy addition can suppress MnO formation. Cu–Mn alloy filmswith 40% dysprosium addition that were annealed at 300 °C exhibited a higher resistivity of ∼2100 μΩ·cm with a temperature coefficient of resistance of –85 ppm/°C.

The present chapter aims to determine optimal tribo-testing condition for minimum coefficient of friction and wear depth of electroless Ni-P, Ni-P-W and Ni-P-Cu coatings under lubrication using grey relational analysis. Electroless Ni-P, Ni-P-W and Ni-P-Cu coatings are deposited on AISI 1040 steel substrates. They are heat treated at suitable temperatures to improve their hardness. Coating characterization is done using scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-Ray analysis and X-Ray diffraction techniques. Typical nodulated surface morphology is observed in the scanning electron micrographs of all the three coatings. Phase transformation on heat treating the deposits is captured through the use of X-Ray diffraction technique. Vicker's microhardness of the coatings in their as-deposited and heat treated condition is determined. Ni-P-W coatings are seen to exhibit the highest microhardness. Friction and wear tests under lubricated condition are carried out following Taguchi's experimental design principle. Finally, the predominating wear mechanism of the coatings is discussed.
