In order to investigate and predict effects of preparation parameters on wear mass loss of Ni-SiC composite coatings, Ni coatings and Ni-SiC composite coatings were prepared on steel substrates by electrodeposition process. The results showed that the contents of SiC particles increased with density of pulse current and on-duty ratio of pulse current increasing. The predictive curves of wear mass losses predicted by ANN had the similar shapes with the measured curve, and the maximum error was 9.7%. When the current density was between 30 A/dm2 and 50 A/dm2, the wear losses of Ni coatings and Ni-SiC coatings decreased with the increase of current density. SiC particles in a composite coating electrodeposited by ultrasonic parameters were much greater in number and were dispersed homogeneously in the deposit, and the Ni-SiC composite coating exhibited a dense structure.

The mechanical properties like hardness, tensile strength, wear resistance of electro-co-deposited Ni-SiC coatings are dependent on factors like bath temperature, current density, duration of deposition, amount of SiC particles etc. Ni-SiC nano composite coatings were prepared on a mild steel substrate by electro-co-deposition process. In this study, the effect of electrochemical bath parameters such as bath temperature, current density and SiC loading were varied and effect of this variation on the coating thickness and tensile strength of Ni-SiC composite coating was studied. The experimental results showed that, a uniform deposit thickness was obtained for 3 A/dm2 current density, temperature of 55°C and loading of 4 g/l. A peak value of coating thickness was observed at a current density of 4 A/dm2 from the experiment. The experimental results also showed that, the tensile strength of the composite coating containing SiC the is significantly higher than pure Ni coating and the tensile strength increases with an increase in the percentage of SiC particles in Ni-SiC coatings. The tensile strength of the composite coating increased by nearly about 52% with increasing SiC loading and then decreased.

Ni-ZrO2-CeO2 nanocomposite coating was prepared by pulse electrodeposition. The effect of addition of ZrO2 and CeO2 nanoparticles, average current density, duty cycle and pulse current on microhardness of Ni-ZrO2-CeO2 nanocomposites were studied. The results show that microhardness of nanocomposite is increased at first and then decreased with the increasing additive amounts of two kinds of nanoparticles. With increasing reverse the average current density, the microhardness of the composite coating increases. Also, the microhardness of nanocomposite fall with the increasing of pulse frequency. With the positive duty ratio increasing, the microhardness of the composite coating increase at first and then decreased, but with the increasing of the reverse duty ratio, the microhardness of nanocomposite coating is gradually decreased.

Sulfamate Bath

In Ni-SiC composite coating, the SiC content is dependent on the surface properties of SiC particles. As sulfuric acid has a strong dehydration force, addition of sulfuric acid in the Ni sulfamate bath changed the surface properties of SiC particles, affecting the codeposition behavior of SiC particles. Also the additives such as SDS affect the electrodeposition behavior of the Ni-SiC composite coating. In this study, effects of the HSO4 ‾ and the current density on the electrodeposition behavior of the Ni-SiC composite coating have been investigated. The Ni-SiC composite coatings were electrodeposited at current densities of 50~200mA/cm2. The surface and cross-sectional morphologies of the Ni-SiC composite coatings were observed using SEM, and their mechanical properties were characterized with micro-Vikers hardness.

Tungsten-copper (W–Cu) composites are widely used as electrical contact materials, resistance welding, electrical discharge machining (EDM), and plasma electrode materials due to their excellent arc erosion resistance, fusion welding resistance, high strength, and superior hardness. However, the traditional preparation methods pay little attention to the compactness and microstructural uniformity of W–Cu composites. Herein, W–Cu composite coatings are prepared by pulse electroplating using nano-W powder as raw material and the influence of forward-reverse duty cycle of pulse current on the structure and mechanical properties is systematically investigated. Moreover, the densification mechanism of the W–Cu composite coating is analyzed from the viewpoints of forward-pulse plating and reverse-pulse plating. At the current density (J) of 2 A/dm2, frequency (f) of 1500 Hz, forward duty cycle (df) of 40% and reverse duty cycle (dr) of 10%, the W–Cu composite coating rendered a uniform microstructure and compact structure, resulting in a hardness of 127 HV and electrical conductivity of 53.7 MS/m.

In this study, Ni-P-SiC composite coatings were prepared by adding different amount of SiC particles into electroless Ni-P plating solution. The effects of SiC particles concentration in solution on depositing rate and composition of the coatings were investigated. The different SiC contents in coatings could be obtained by adjusting the amount of SiC particle concentration in electroless plating solution. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results indicate that SiC particles are dispersed in the composite coating and Ni-P alloy is mainly as a bond metal envelope with SiC particles. At the same time, the microhardness became increased and the wear resistance improved with the increasing of SiC content.

Ni–Al2O3 composite coatings were prepared with a modified Watt’s bath by using jet electrodeposition method. As the key process parameter, current density and the addition of Al2O3 nanoparticles in electrolyte were studied about the effect on the surface morphology and co-deposition of Al2O3 nanoparticles of composite coating. The mechanical and tribological properties of the composite coating were also tested. The results show that properly increasing the current density and Al2O3 addition can increase the co-deposition of nanoparticles in the coating and promote the formation of a dense and refined coating structure. Using the optimized process parameters of current density (300 A/dm2) and Al2O3 addition (30 g/L), the co-deposition of Al2O3 in the composite coating can reach a maximum of 13.1 at.%. The hardness of the coating reaches the peak at 623 HV. The wear rate of the composite coating is also greatly reduced with optimized parameters.

In this paper, dense AZ91D/SiC composite coatings were fabricated by cold spraying. The microstructure and microhardness of the as-sprayed coatings were investigated. The results show that the content of SiC particles in the composite coating was 23.6 ± 7.5 vol.%. The microhardness of the composite coating was improved to 140 HV0.3 due to the enhancement of SiC particles, compared to 98 HV0.3 for the pure AZ91D coating. The wear behavior of the composite coating in an ambient condition was studied through a ball-on-disc dry sliding test system. The composite coating showed higher friction coefficient and lower wear rate than the pure AZ91D coating. The wear mechanism of the composite coating was discussed.
