Electroless nickel coatings are widely popular in various industrial sectors due to their excellent tribological properties. The present study considers optimization of coating parameters along with annealing temperature to improve microhardness and corrosion resistance of Ni-P-TiO2 composite coatings. Grey relational analysis is used to find out the optimal combination of coating parameters. From the analysis, it is confirmed that annealing temperature of the coating has the most significant effect and amount of titanium particles in the coating has some significant effect on corrosion properties of the coating. The same trend is observed in case of combined study of corrosion behavior and microhardness. The surface morphology, phase transformation and the chemical composition are examined using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and energy dispersive analysis respectively. The Ni-P-TiO2 composite coating revealed nodular structure with almost uniform distribution of titanium particles and it turns in to crystalline structure after heat treatment.

Composite coatings constitute a new class of materials which are mostly used for mechanical and tribological applications. The corrosion resistance of these composite coatings, however, has not been systematically studied and compared. In this study, electroless Ni – P composite coatings are formed on St 37 steel through the addition of nano-scale SiC particles to the plating bath. This work aimed to investigate the corrosion characteristics of electroless nickel composite coatings using electrochemical measurements which include polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. The morphology and structure of the composite coatings were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrum (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that both electroless nickel and electroless nickel composite coatings demonstrated significant improvement of corrosion resistance in salty atmosphere.

Ni-P/nano- SiC composite coatings were deposited in different concentrations of SiC nano-particles in the bath. The hardness and corrosion resistance of the composite coatings with different content of SiC nano-particles were measured. Moreover, the structure of the composite coatings was investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), while their morphologies and elemental composition were analyzed using scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). Results showed that co-deposited SiC nano-particles contributed to increase the hardness but corrosion resistance of electroless Ni-P coatings decreased due to agglomeration of nano-particles and increasing porosity of coatings.

The deterioration of metals under the influence of corrosion is a costly problem faced by many industries. Therefore, particle-reinforced composite coatings are being developed in different technological fields with high demands for corrosion resistance. This work studies the effects of nanoplatelet reinforcement on the durability, corrosion resistance, and mechanical properties of copper-nickel coatings. A 90 : 10 Cu-Ni alloy was coelectrodeposited with nanoplatelets of montmorillonite (Mt) embedded into the metallic matrix from electrolytic baths containing 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15% Mt. X-ray diffraction of the coatings indicated no disruption of the crystal structure with addition of the nanoplatelets into the alloy. The mechanical properties of the coatings improved with a 17% increase in hardness and an 85% increase in shear adhesion strength with nanoplatelet incorporation. The measured polarization resistance increased from 11.77 kΩ·cm2 for pure Cu-Ni to 33.28 kΩ·cm2 for the Cu-Ni-0.15% Mt coating after soaking in a simulated seawater environment for 30 days. The incorporation of montmorillonite also stabilized the corrosion potential during the immersion study and increased resistance to corrosion.

Composite coatings were prepared using electroless nickel bath containing different concentrations of Al2O3nano-particles. The analyses of coating compositions, carried out by EDS, showed that there is marginal difference between phosphorus contents of NiP and NiP/nano-Al2O3deposits. The structure of the coatings was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It has been found that the co-deposition of nano-Al2O3particles with Ni disturbs the NiP coating’s regular surface structure and increases its surface roughness. DC and AC electrochemical tests were carried out on such coatings in a 3.5wt.% solution of NaCl in order to evaluate their corrosion resistance. The potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests both showed that, the corrosion resistance of NiP-Al2O3coatings firstly increases and then decreases when Al2O3concentration in electroless bath is increasing, but the corrosion resistance of NiP-Al2O3composite coating is better than that of amorphous NiP coating.

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.

Ni–B4C composite coatings on carbon steel substrates with various contents of B4C nano-particulates were prepared by electrodeposition in Ni plating bath containing B4C nano-particulates. Microhardness, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Tafel polarization and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were used to compare pure nickel coatings and Ni–B4C composite coatings. Pure Ni coating microhardness is lower than that of Ni–B4C coatings and the microhardness of the composite coatings increases with the increase of the content of B4C nano-particulates. The effects of various contents of B4C nano-particulates on the corrosion resistance were investigated and it was found that the best anti–corrosion property of Ni–B4C composite coatings is at 6 g/L B4C in the bath formulation.

The Ni-graphene composite coatings were prepared by electrochemical deposition method, using nickel sulfate and graphene as primary reagents. Pure Ni coatings, Ni-graphene coatings with N2H4 and Ni-graphene coatings without N2H4 were prepared from three different but similar electrolytes. The N2H4 added into the solution is for complexation with NiSO4 to settle the Ni ions. Graphene used in this work is characterized by TEM and HRTEM. The reaction of N2H4 with NiSO4 is characterized by XRD and optical graphs. The composite coatings’ morphology, structure and corrosion resistance were characterized by SEM and Potentiodynamic polarization test, respectively. The results show that well dispersed graphene–nickel coatings can be prepared with N2H4 in the electrolyte. By comparison with the situation that electrolyte without N2H4, graphene agglomerated at the surface of nickel coatings. The grain of the coatings prepared with and without N2H4 shows similar sizes. Ni-graphene coatings exhibit poor anticorrosion property by comparison with pure Ni coatings because of the defects (cracks and roughness on composite coatings with and without N2H4 in the solution, respectively) on the surface of graphene nickel coatings. These results provide a basis viewpoint for the further research of graphene-metallic composite coatings’ anticorrosion effect.

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.

Influence of surfactants on the corrosion properties of chromium-free electroless nickel deposit were investigated on AZ91D magnesium alloy. The corrosion tests were carried out by immersion test (1 M HCl) and electrochemical polarization test (3.5 wt% NaCl ). The surfactants in the electroless nickel bath increases the corrosion resistance properties of the deposit on the magnesium alloy. In addition, smoothness and amorphous plus nano-crystalline phase were increased and accounted for the significant corrosion resistance. As a consequence, the corrosion potential moved towards the positive direction and the corrosion current density decreased. The immersion tests also provided the same trend as that of electrochemical polarization test. On the whole, the study concluded that corrosion resistance was enhanced by including a surfactant in the electroless deposits on magnesium alloy.
