In order to improve the surface property of the steel tire mold, carbon steels were processed by electroless Ni-P and Ni-P-PTFE under contrast experiment. The coatings were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS). The wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the coatings were explored by tribometer, salt spray cabinet and advanced electrochemical system. The experimental results showed that the Ni-P coating was amorphous structure, and the Ni-P-PTFE coating was micro-pore structure; The wear resistance of Ni-P-PTFE coating was superior to Ni-P coating; In view of the micro-pore structure, the corrosion resistance of Ni-P-PTFE coating was worse than Ni-P coating, but they were all superior to carbon steels, and the service life of the steel tire mold were improved.

By adding various concentrations of rare earth cerium into the acidic hypophosphite plating baths, electroless Ni-P-PTFE coatings have been successfully deposited on the surface of shaft made of mild steel. Surface morphology, microhardness and interfacial adhesion of the coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive spectrometer, vicker microhardness meter and WS-92 scrape instrument, respectively. Ring-plate wear test was applied to study the friction coefficient and wear resistance of Ni-P-PTFE coating. Results revealed that Ni-P-PTFE coatings deposited with 10ppm or 20ppm cerium in the plating baths show low friction coefficient and high interfacial adhesion,leading to its perfect wear resistance. However, both the interfacial adhesion and wear resistance of the Ni-P-PTFE coatings were decreased drastically as the cerium concentration in the plating baths was exceeds 50ppm.

Ni-P/nano- SiC composite coatings were deposited in different concentrations of SiC nano-particles in the bath. The hardness and corrosion resistance of the composite coatings with different content of SiC nano-particles were measured. Moreover, the structure of the composite coatings was investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), while their morphologies and elemental composition were analyzed using scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). Results showed that co-deposited SiC nano-particles contributed to increase the hardness but corrosion resistance of electroless Ni-P coatings decreased due to agglomeration of nano-particles and increasing porosity of coatings.

Cr-Fe2B composite coatings were prepared on carbon steels by pack-boronizing followed by electro brush-plating. The microstructure and properties of the coatings annealed at different temperatures were studied. The coatings show a gradient structure composed of a Cr-layer and a Fe2B-layer and have excellent thermal stability, and no new layers and/or transition layers are formed in the coating during annealing up to 1000 °C. The Cr-layer has an amorphous structure and is transformed into nanosized grains when the annealing temperature increases to 700 °C. As the annealing temperature is further increased, the nanograins grow rapidly. The microcracks in the Cr-layer increase sharply after annealing at 550 °C and then decrease significantly with any further increase of the annealing temperature. The pre-deposited Fe2B-layer prevents the formation of carbon-poor zones in the steel substrate during annealing. It is considered that high-temperature (>700 °C) annealing helps to eliminate coating defects, increase the coating density and obtain better wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Surprisingly, the as-plated and low temperature annealed samples also show good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, which may be related to their amorphous structure and nanocrystalline structure.

The process of electroless plating Ni - P and Ni - P /nano- SiO 2 on API-5L X65 carbon steels was improved. The Ni - P /nano- SiO 2 composite coatings were prepared from the bathes containing different concentrations of nano- SiO 2 particles. The coatings surface and morphologies were observed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The chemical compositions were analyzed by EDAX. The corrosion behaviors were evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. The experimental results indicated that SiO 2 nano-particles co-deposited but some agglomeration occurred. Micro-hardness of electroless Ni - P - SiO 2 composite coatings increased due to the existence of nano-particles. Corrosion tests showed that both electroless Ni - P and Ni - P /nano- SiO 2 composite coatings demonstrated significant improvement of corrosion resistance of substrate in salty atmosphere and latter coating type appeared to offer a better corrosion protection.

Corrosion behaviors of these coatings were investigated with open-circuit potential (OCP) and salt spray corrosion test. The results showed that the NiCrAl/BN possess better corrosion resistance as compared with Ni/BN.

Ni-Y2O3-ZrO2 nanocomposite coating was prepared by co-deposition of nickel, Yttrium oxide (Y2O3) and zirconium oxide (ZrO2) nanoparticles using ultrasonic electrodeopsition. The surface morphology and composition of coatings were ananlyzed by an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS). The high temperature oxidation, microhardness and wear resistance of the coatings were investigated. It is found that both the incorporation of nanoparticles and the use of ultrasonic could refine Ni crystal grains and improve properties of the coatings. The Ni-Y2O3-ZrO2 nanocomposite coating prepared with ultrasonic exhibits finer grains, higher microhardness and better oxidation and wear resistance.


The synthesized tungsten nanoparticles (0.5 g/l, range 40 to 150 nm) are dispersed randomly into electroless Ni-P matrix for Ni-P-W nanocompositeplatings on an AISI1040 grade steel substrate (MS). The thickness of these deposits is in range of 15 to 25 micrometer. The scanning electron microscope attached in permutation of energy dispersive spectroscopy furthermore Xray diffraction techniques were exploited to analyze surface morphology, elemental symphony and phases of platings correspondingly. The results of these studies reveal successful fusion of tungsten nanoparticles as white globules into electroless Ni-P matrix and with those as-deposited platings have amorphous structure and heated platings (400°C) have crystalline structure. Further Ni-P/Ni-P-W platings are investigated for microhardness by respective technique. The results of the studies corroborate that inclusion of tungsten nanoparticles into electroless Ni-P plating enhances the microhardness. The phase transformation initiation of amorphous nickel is headed toward nickel phosphide and crystalline nickel completely at 400°C which improved microhardness of nanocomposite Ni-P-W electrolessplatings.

Lithium was added into ZAlSi12 casting alloys to produce Al-Si-Li alloys containing 0%Li, 1%Li, 2%Li and 3%Li respectively. The corrosion performance of the alloys containing various content of lithium was tested by the Tafel polarization curves and the alloys were dipped thoroughly into the solution of 5% NaCl. The surface appearance of the alloys after corrosion was observed by Scanning Electron Microscopy, the composition of corrosion products was determined by Energy Dispersive Spectrometer. The results show that the corrosion resistance of ZAlSi12 casting alloys is improved by the addition of lithium. The alloy has an optimum corrosion resistance when the lithium content is 2%, and then the corrosion resistance decreases as increment of lithium content.
