Tungsten carbide was used as sacrificial anode in NaCl-KCl molten salt to form tungsten ion dissolution, with increasing anode potential of the charge transfer resistance decreases, tungsten ions in molten salt of average valence of +6, reduction of tungsten ion for the reversible behavior of diffusion control. Increasing the cathode distance and changing the cathode position can effectively avoid the pollution of the anode residual carbon to the tungsten powder of cathode products. The particle size of tungsten powder increases with the increase of cathode current density. When the cathode current density is 0.01Acm-2, anode potential 1.2V and anode cathode spacing 45mm, the particle size of tungsten powder is about 50nm.

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.

The surface of copper plate of the mold need to be reinforced to obtain the plating coatings with high hardness and corrosion resistant properties. Nowadays, Ni-base alloy coatings is used widely in the industrial production. In order to raise the service life of mold, the experiments on the property of Ni-base nano ZrO2 composite plating coatings was done in this paper. The experiments were planned with the orthogonal test design method. The effective factors on the property of coatings, bath temperature, cathode current density, the distance between two electrodes and the magnitude of Nano-ZrO2,were experimentally studied. The optimum process parameter were obtained. The results show that the composite plating layer of Ni-base Nano ZrO2 with good properties can be obtained.The optimal conditions are as follows: the bath temperature is 40 °C, cathode current density is 3A/dm2, the distance between two electrodes is 12 cm, the magnitude of Nano-ZrO2 is 12g/L. In addition binding strength of the coatings were measured quantitatively, and the structure of the plating layer were observed with SEM. The layer with good properties can be obtained in this method.

Pulsed Deposition

In this work, the influence of some types of the pulsed deposition mode of electrochromic films from aqueous solutions of nickel nitrate with the addition of polyvinyl alcohol was investigated. Glass coated with a fluorine-doped tin oxide film was used as the basis for deposition. The deposition of nickel (II) hydroxide – polyvinyl alcohol electrochromic films was carried out in three pulsed modes: –0.2 mA/cm2×5 s, 0 mA/cm2×5 s (10 minutes); –0.5 mA/cm2×2 s, 0 mA/cm2×8 s (10 minutes); –1 mA/cm2×1 s, 0 mA/cm2×9 s. In this case, the amount of electricity used for the formation of thin-film electrodes was the same for all samples. The resulting films showed dramatic differences in electrochemical, optical, and quality characteristics. The sample obtained in the mode of the highest cathode current density and the duration of the no-current condition (1 mA/cm2×1 s, 0 mA/cm2×9 s) had the worst specific capacity and optical characteristics. This sample was characterized by the highest number of coating defects and color non-uniformity as well. The sample, which was obtained at average current densities (–0.5 mA/cm2×2 s, 0 mA/cm2×8 s), had the highest specific characteristics among the electrodes in the series. The coating was uniform and solid. Also, this sample had the greatest stability of the coloration depth value, which varied from 79.1 to 78.1 % (first to fifth cycles). The sample obtained in the mode –0.2 mA/cm2×5 s, 0 mA/cm2×5 s showed moderate specific indicators, however, there were some coating defects. According to the results obtained, a mechanism was proposed that explained the differences in the characteristics of thin-film electrodes formed in different modes. This mechanism consists of changing the time of non-stationary processes and the distribution of the current density with a change in the value of the deposition current density, the duration of the cathode period, and the no-current condition.

Conditions of electrodeposition, the structure and physical-mechanical properties (microhardness, base cohesion, internal stresses, corrosion currents) of nickel-based galvanic composition coatings with nano and micropowders of titanium boride are investigated. It is determined that electrocrystallization of nickel in the presence of boride nanoparticles leads to the formation of coatings with small-sized structural fragments, low porosity and increased physical-mechanical properties. Titanium nanoboride is simultaneously a component of the composition coating and an effective modifier of the nickel matrix. The presence of nanoboride in the electrolyte improves its performance by increasing the allowable upper limit of the cathode current density.
