Ni-TiN-CeO2 nanocomposite coatings on 45 steel substrate were prepared by ultrasound-pulse electrodeposition. The effects of process parameters, such as CeO2 and TiN nanoparticles addition, cathode current density, positive pulse duty cycle and ultrasonic power on the Ni-TiN-CeO2 nanocomposite electrodeposition process were studied by orthogonal experiments. The nanoparticles contents in the coating were determined, and the surface morphology of the coating was analyzed. The results show that the optimized process parameters are: the CeO2 particles addition of 40g/l, the TiN particles addition of 15g/l, cathode current density of 4A/dm2, positive duty cycle of 20%, and the ultrasonic power of 180W. Under the optimum condition, the desirable Ni-TiN-CeO2 nanocomposite coatings are prepared with higher particle content and better surface quality.

Boronized layer was prepared on carbon steel substrate by pulse electrodeposition in KCl-NaCl-NaF-Na2B4O7 molten salts. The orthogonal experimental design was used to study the influence of pulse electrodeposition parameters on the thickness of boronized layer. The distribution of boron content of the boronized layer was measured using the glow discharge spectrometry (GDS) and the depth from the surface to the inflection point was taken as the layer thickness. It was found that the order of significant factors for the thickness is electrodeposition temperature > electrodeposition time > current density > borax content > duty cycle. Based on the results of the range analysis, the maximum thickness was found at a current density of 120mA/cm2, a electrodeposition temperature of 900°C, a electrodeposition time of 120 min, a duty cycle of 10%, and a borax content of 0.04 mole ratio.

The article shows the role of electroplating in the restoration of parts, indicates the advantages of restoring parts with electroplating over other methods, and gives the characteristics and properties of coatings obtained by electroplating. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in increasing the speed of application of zinc electroplating when restoring parts. (Materials and methods) The cathode current density has a decisive influence on the coating speed. The main reason for limiting the cathode current density during galvanizing from sulfuric acid electrolytes is the chemical polarization of the cathode. The article presents a study on the designed installation for the application of galvanic coatings. When applying coatings to the internal surfaces of parts, there was used a device with activating elements having an electromechanical rotation drive. This device prevents depletion of the near-cathode layer of the electrolyte and reduces the chemical polarization of the cathode. Elements made of moisture-resistant skin were used as activators. (Results and discussion) The article presents the results of experiments as a dependence of the coating speed on the speed of the activator relative to the restoring surface. It also presents the relationship between the size of the abrasive grains of the activating elements, the force of their pressing against the cathode surface, the speed of movement of the activator and the speed of applying the zinc coating, as well as its quality. By activating the cathode surface, it was possible to raise the operating current density to 100-150 amperes per square decimeter. The speed of application of zinc coatings is 16-25 micrometers per minute. (Conclusions) In the course of research, authors determined the conditions of electrolysis during galvanizing, which provide a significant increase in the cathode current density and the rate of application of these coatings during the restoration of parts.

Mo-Ni coatings were prepared on Ni alloy by pulse electrodeposition method. The effects of current density, electrodeposition temperature, frequency, duty cycle and electrodeposition time on microhardness of Mo-Ni coating were researched, respectively. Microhardness of Mo-Ni coating increases with the increase of current density, electrodeposition temperature, frequency and electro-deposition time in 17.75 A/dm2 ~ 19.25 A/dm2. 21 °C~ 25 °C, 1000 Hz ~ 5000 Hz and 10 min ~ 20 min, respectively. Microhardness of Mo-Ni coating decreases with the increase of electrodeposition temperature, electrodeposition time and duty cycle in 25 °C ~ 37 °C, 20 min ~ 30 min and 0.5 ~ 0.9, respectively. In the range of current density from 19.25A/dm2 to 20.75 A/dm2, microhardness of Mo-Ni coating is neariy constant with the increase of current density. When electrodeposition parameters: current density 19.25 A/dm2, electro-deposition temperature 25 °C, frequency 5000 Hz, duty cycle 0.5 and electrodeposition time 20 min, microhardness of Mo-Ni coatin is as high as 707.9 HV.
