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.

Duplex Ni-P/Ni-P-β-SiC coatings were prepared on 2605N double phase stainless steel substrate by electroless plating process. Experiments were carried out to compare and analyze the morphologies, composition and structure of Ni-P/Ni-P-β-SiC by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), XRD and electrochemical workstation, respectively. The results show that duplex Ni-P / Ni-P-β-SiC coating has good associativity between the coating and the substrate, β-SiC particles were uniformly distributed in the coatings, without pores, crack defects and so on. When β-SiC particle concentration is 15g/L, the microhardness reached maximum 623.285HV0.20, In addition, when the β-SiC concentration is 15g/L, the corrosion reasistence is the best.

SiC particle-reinforced Cu-Fe based braking materials were fabricated by the P/M hot pressing method. The phase composition, microstructure and the worn surface of the composite were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).The tribological properties were evaluated using a disk-on-disk type laboratory scale dynamometer. Results indicate that the friction coefficient is 0.42 in 6800rpm, 0.7MPa. With the increase of rotation speeds the coefficient of friction and stable rate were decreased.

In this paper, we focus on fabrication and physicochemical properties investigations of silica–multiwalled carbon nanotubes/poly(dimethylsiloxane) composite coatings deposited on the glass supports activated by cold plasma. Air or argon was used as the carrier gas in the plasma process. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes were modified with poly(dimethylsiloxane) in order to impart their hydrophobicity. The silica–multiwalled carbon nanotubes/poly(dimethylsiloxane) nanocomposite was synthesized using the sol–gel technique with acid-assisted tetraethyl orthosilicate hydrolysis. The stability and the zeta potential of the obtained suspension were evaluated. Then, the product was dried and used as a filler in another sol–gel process, which led to the coating application via the dip-coating method. The substrates were exposed to the hexamethyldisilazane vapors in order to improve their hydrophobicity. The obtained surfaces were characterized by the wettability measurements and surface free energy determination as well as optical profilometry, scanning electron microscopy, and transmittance measurements. In addition, the thermal analyses of the carbon nanotubes as well as coatings were made. It was found that rough and hydrophobic coatings were obtained with a high transmittance in the visible range. They are characterized by the water contact angle larger than 90 degrees and the transmission at the level of 95%. The X-ray diffraction studies as well as scanning electron microscopy images confirmed the chemical and structural compositions of the coatings. They are thermally stable at the temperature up to 250 °C. Moreover, the thermal analysis showed that the obtained composite material has greater thermal resistance than the pure nanotubes.

In order to improve the corrosion resistance and the hardness of the 45 steel, under comparison tests, the electroless Ni-B was prepared on the 45 steel. We made a contrast test to get the optimal formula. The coating under the optimal formula was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectrometer(EDS), metallurgical microscope and salt spray cabinet. The experimental results showed that the electroless Ni-B coating on 45 steel was low boron coating, with high hardness, and the hardness of the coating could catch HV524; the thickness of the coating was 16μm.

In this study Al 2 O 3- SiC nanocomposites have been fabricated by mixing of alumina and silicon carbide nano powders, followed by hot pressing at 1700°C. The mechanical properties and fracture mode of Al 2 O 3- SiC nanocomposites containing different volume fractions (5, 10 and 15%) of nano scale SiC particles were investigated and compared with those of alumina. Al 2 O 3- SiC powders were prepared by planetary milling in isopropanol. Fracture mode of specimens was investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy. Nanocomposites were tougher than alumina when they were hot pressed at the same temperature, and the values of nanocomposite's flexural strength and hardness were higher than those of alumina. Flexural strength, hardness and fracture toughness of the nanocomposites increase by increasing the volume percent of SiC up to 10% and then decrease slightly. The Scanning electron microscopy observations showed that fracture mode changes from intergranular for alumina to transgranular for nanocomposites. Finally X-ray diffraction analysis couldn't detect any chemical reactions between Al 2 O 3 and SiC particles.

Abstract Ceramic coatings were prepared on the surface of 7050 highstrength aluminum alloy using micro-arc oxidation in an aluminate electrolyte with added graphene. To analyze the surface morphology, roughness, phase composition, and corrosion resistance, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron, and electrochemical measurements were used, respectively. The addition of 9 g · L-1 of graphene to the electrolyte decreased the micro-pore size of the composite coatings and improved the density. In addition, with the addition of graphene, the roughness was the lowest, and the corrosion resistance was significantly improved.

An analysis of the surface of a plasma three-dimensional capillary-porous (TCP) Ti coating with an additional bioactive hydroxyapatite coating formed by microplasma oxidation (MPO) has been performed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyzed the open porosity of these composite coatings. The surface of the TCP Ti coating consists of ridges and depressions. The porosity of the TCP Ti coating of the depressions reaches 43 %. The presence of macro- and micropores with a size of 0.08 – 600 µm makes the TCP Ti coatings promising for use in a number of areas, including on the surface of intraosseous implants.

Ni-Mo coated TiC powders were prepared by electroless plating technique assisted by ultrasonic wave with hydrazine as reducing agent. The surface microstructure of the Ni-Mo coated TiC powders was characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The results showed that the as-plated powders, which were of nearly spheric shape, were the composite of TiC and Ni-Mo alloy. The Ni and Mo elements were uniformly distributed around the TiC powders with some plating leakage. In addition, the Ni-Mo plated thin layers on the surface of TiC powders were amorphous or microcrystalline in a supersaturated state. Diffraction peaks corresponding to Ni and Mo weren’t found, and the Ti (NO3)4 and an unknown phase were formed as the load decreased from 15 g/L to 5 g/L.

AbstractThe composite Ni-P coating with diamond particles (D) deposited on the flexible substrates of pressed polyethylene terephthalate material (PET) was obtained, to be used in the development of efficient, flexible grinding and polishing tools. The optimal conditions of the hydrodynamic regime, deposition time and temperature were found. The influence of the concentration and size of the D particles (3/7 ÷ 225/300 μm) on the coating thickness and number of co-deposited particles were studied. By Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images were defined the morphology of dispersion coatings and number of co-deposited particles in them, and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS/INCA) was used to determine the elemental chemical composition of the composite coatings.
