Electroplated nickel coatings provide ductility, excellent corrosion resistance and good wear resistance, which qualifies them to meet complex demands of engineering, microtechnology and microelectronics. The co-deposition of particles is a promising alternative to deposit layers with adequate microstructure and properties avoiding the rise of residual stress. The incorporation of the sufficient quantity of particles, monodisperse distribution and downsizing to nanometre scale affect the amount of strengthening by dispersion hardening. To avoid agglomeration in the electroplating bath as well as in the layer is a challenge which has been met by simple Watts nickel electrolyte with a minimum of organic additives and adequate bath agitation comprising sonication, i.e. the exposure of the bath to high-frequency sound waves. Well-dispersed hard particles (titanium oxide and silicon carbide) were incorporated in nickel films. The focus was set on the correlation between the gained microstructure of the composites with particles from micron to nanometre scale and the electrochemical and mechanical properties. Corrosion was quantified from polarisation curves and volumetric erosion measurements. Wear resistance was evaluated by scratch energy density studies, oscillating sliding wear testing and cavitation wear testing and compared to indentation hardness results. Sonication and particle downsizing result in matrix grain refinement and dispersion hardening. Incorporation of different particles with respect to different material and size proved to meet different demands. Submicron TiO2 is best for high corrosion resistance, sonicated nickel without particle incorporation is best for high abrasion resistance, nano TiO2 is best for oscillating sliding wear resistance and submicron SiC is best for cavitation wear resistance.

By vacuum fusion sintering technique made different CeO2 addition Ni-WC composite coatings on 45 steel. Hardness, wear resistance property and corrosion resistance property of the Rare-earth Ni-WC composite coatings were measured and analyzed by Rockwell hardness tester,micro-hardness tester, friction wear testing machine and Salt spray corrosion box. The results showed that:The CeO2 content comes up to 0.75% of the coatings` hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance property better than those of other coatings.

In this paper, nickel-based alloy coatings were deposited on the surface of pure copper by jet electrodeposition. The wear resistance of the coatings was studied by a material surface comprehensive performance tester under dry sliding. Hardness testing, friction, and wear testing were performed to characterize the microhardness, surface morphology, and wear resistance of the coatings. The results indicated that adding Fe and W could refine and purify the microstructure. The coatings with additions of 5 wt.% Fe and 7 wt.% W exhibited the highest wear-resistant properties. Moreover, new compound phases NiO, Fe2O3, and WO3 were found on the surface coatings, such that the microhardness was higher than that in the other coatings. Detailed discussions on the influences of Fe and W on the sliding wear are presented.

Background: Clinical success depends on the contact strength and wear resistance of medical devices made of polymer materials. The scientific goal resulted from the problem of using different methods of surface evaluation of materials used in the production of orthodontic appliances. The purpose of the work was an experimental comparative assessment of indentation hardness and scratch hardness and the sliding wear of four selected polymeric materials used in the manufacture of orthodontic appliances. Methods: Four commercial materials were compared. Shore hardness tests and a scratch test with a Rockwell indenter were performed. A sliding wear test was performed using the ball-on-disc method. Statistical PCA and correlation analyses were performed. Results: The results of scratch hardness measurements using a contact profilometer correlated with the Shore hardness to a greater extent than measurements made using an optical microscope. PCA showed that Shore hardness explains 45% of the total variance in all the results across the materials. Conclusions: The scratch hardness method allows for a more explicit ranking of orthodontic polymeric materials when measurements are made with a profilometer. The ranking of sliding wear resistance should be made separately.

Bulk cobalt- and nickel-based metallic materials exhibit superior resistance to cavitation erosion and sliding wear. Thus, thermally deposited High-Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) coatings seem promising for increasing the wear resistance of the bulk metal substrate. However, the effect of chemical composition on the cavitation erosion and sliding wear resistance of M(Co,Ni)CrAlY and NiCrMo coatings has not yet been exhaustively studied. In this study, High-Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) coatings such as CoNiCrAlY, NiCoCrAlY, and NiCrMoFeCo were deposited on AISI 310 (X15CrNi25-20) steel coupons. The microstructure, hardness, phase composition and surface morphology of the as-sprayed coatings were examined. Cavitation erosion tests were conducted using the vibratory method in accordance with the ASTM G32 standard. Sliding wear was examined with the use of a ball-on-disc tribometer, and friction coefficients were measured. The mechanism of wear was identified with the scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) method. In comparison to the NiCrMoFeCo coating, the CoNiCrAlY and NiCoCrAlY coatings have a lower sliding and cavitation wear resistance.

This paper provides the results of an extensive sliding wear testing program to evaluate wear resistance of several material couples currently used for high temperature applications such as ground based gas turbines and aircraft engines. Nickel and cobalt base superalloys and iron base stainless steels were tested in different combinations, and their wear rates compared to determine optimal wear resistance. The results show that an alloy’s wear resistance is highly dependent on operating temperature and its coupling with another material. The influences of friction, hardness, and oxide formation on the alloy’s wear resistance are also presented and discussed.
