In this study, hardness and wear resistance of electroless Ni–P and Ni–P/Al2O3 composite coating have been investigated. These composite coatings are applied on iron substrate by electroless deposition process and then they were heat treated at 400°C for 1h. Surface and cross-section morphology of composite deposits have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and microstructural changes were evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The results showed that the Al2O3 particles co-deposited in Ni–P matrix led to an increase in the hardness and improve wear resistance, especially when the heat treated at 400°C will have the maximum hardness and wear resistance.

In this research, micro-hardness and wear resistance of two types of electroless coatings were investigated including Ni-P and Ni-P-B4C composite coatings. Dispersible B4C particles and electroless Ni-P alloy were codeposited on carbon steel by electroless plating and then heat treated at 200, 400 and 600 °C for 1 h, respectively. The cross-section morphology and microstructure of the composite coatings were characterized. Meanwhile, the micro-hardness and tribological behavior of composite coatings were evaluated. The results showed that the Ni-P-B4C composite coating presents better wear resistance in comparison with that of Ni-P coating. The Ni-P-B4C composite coating with heat treated at 400 °C exhibits high micro-hardness and good wear resistance, which the highest hardness is 1200 HV, the minimum wear weight loss is 0.12 mg and the lowest friction coefficient is 0.2054.

The Ni-Co/SiC composite coatings were prepared via jet electrodeposition in the presence of magnetic field. The microstructure and texture orientation of the composite coatings were analyzed via field emission scanning electron microscopy, three-dimensional profiling, and X-ray diffraction. The microhardness and wear resistance were characterized by a microhardness tester and a friction–abrasion testing machine. The results indicated that nano-SiC particles improved the surface morphology of the Ni-Co/SiC composite coating. In jet electrodeposition, globular structure aggregation began to form protrusions in the Ni-Co/SiC composite coating due to nanoparticle agglomeration when 6 g/L of nano-SiC was added. The Ni-Co/SiC (6 g/L) composite coating became uniform and densification by jet electrodeposition in magnetic field, with higher microhardness and better wear resistance. The microhardness of the Ni-Co/SiC composite coating increased to 626 ± 14 HV, and the corresponding friction coefficient was as low as 0.317.

Electroless nickel plating with potassium titanate whisker was co-deposited on medium carbon steel substrates. The microstructure of the composite coatings was investigated. The effect of aging temperature on the microstructure of the composite coatings was studied using X-ray diffraction. The results indicate that the composite coatings will turn into crystal state with increasing heat treatment temperature. Experimental results also show that a maximum hardness is achieved for the composite coating after heat treatment at 400°C for 1 hour. The corrosion resistance and tribological properties of the composite coatings are not inferior to those of electroless Ni-P coating.

A metal matrix composite coating reinforced by ZrC - ZrB 2 particulates has been successfully fabricated utilizing the in situ reaction of Zr , B 4 C and Fe pre-placed mixed powders by gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) cladding process. Various volume fraction of ZrC - ZrB 2 particulates composite coatings were produced through cladding different weight ratios of Zr + B 4 C (30%, 50%, 70%) to improve the wear resistance of AISI1020 steel substrate. The Microstructure of the coating was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive spectrum (EDS), meantime microhardness and wear resistance at room temperature of the composite coating were examined by means of Microhardness Tester and Wear Tester, respectively. The results show that the main phases of the composite coating obtained by GTAW are ZrC , ZrB 2 and α- Fe , ZrC exhibits hexahedron and petal shapes, ZrC - ZrB 2 compound presents acicular and clubbed forms. With the increase of content of Zr + B 4 C , the maximum volume fraction of ZrC - ZrB 2 particulates can reach 16.5%, microhardness is up to 1300HV, and wear resistance is about twenty times higher than that of AISI1020 steel substrate.

Co-based composite coatings reinforced by TiN particles were fabricated on Ni-based superalloy substrate by using a 5 kW CO2 laser. The microstructures and phases constitution of the composite coating were studied by means of optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The microhardness and wear resistance of the coating were also examined. The results showed that the composite coating was mainly composed of γ-Co, TiN, TiC, (Cr, W)23C6 and Co3Ti. And different solidification morphologies, such as planar, cellular and dendrite, were obtained. Structural transformations were attributed to the temperature gradient and solidification rate in metal-melting region. It was found that the microhardness of the composite coating was enhanced prominently as compared to the substrate region, which should be due to the undissolved TiN and other new complicated phase. Friction and wear tests without lubrication showed that the addition of TiN particles into Co-based coating can improve its wear resistance significantly without evidently increasing the friction coefficient of coating.

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effect of the electroless Ni-P/diamond/graphene composite coating on the structure and surface hardness of 2024-T6 aluminum alloy as well as their effect on the corrosion and wear resistance of the alloy in 3.5 % NaCl solution. The electroless Ni-P plating solution was prepared by adding different size diamond (6-12 μm and 0.2 μm) and nanographene into the electroless Ni-P plating solution to obtain Ni-P/diamond, Ni-P/graphene and Ni-P/daimond/graphene composite coatings for comparison. Experimental results indicated that the Ni-P/diamond, Ni-P/graphene and Ni-P/daimond/graphene composite coatings can be successfully electroless deposited on anodized 2024-T6 aluminum alloy. The anodically oxidized films, that formed on the aluminum alloy using phosphoric acid as the electrolyte, was porous with high density of pores, and thus could enhance the adhesion of the composite coatings. The Ni-P/daimond/graphene hybrid coating had a higher hardness as well as better corrosion and wear resistance of 2024-T6 alloy in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution as compared with other composite coatings. When the combination of nanographene and smaller diamond particles added this beneficial effect was significantly raised, especially the composite coating was further vacuum annealed at 400 °C for 24 h to obtain a more smooth and defect-free coating structure.

The Ni-P/SiC composite coating was prepared by chemical deposition technique. The micro-structure and wear behavior of electroless Ni-P/SiC composite coating was investigated. The results show that the composite coating was dense and no any defects at the interface between substrate and electroless composite coating. Its thickness could reach 40 μm. Wear resistance was increased with the increasing content of SiC particles for single composite coating when the SiC concentration was less than 6g/L, then decreased with the increased SiC concentration. The wear resistance of gradient composite coating was improved above 16% comparing with the single composite coating. The wear resistance of T1gradient coating was best for all electroless Ni-P/SiC composite coatings because the bonding strength was improved owing to the gradient change of SiC content.

In this study, Al–Ti–Co was used to improve the surface performance of pure Ti . Laser cladding is an important surface modification technique, which can be used to improve the surface performance of pure Ti . Laser cladding of the Al–Ti–Co + TiB2 pre-placed powders on pure Ti can form ceramics reinforced the composite coating, which improved the wear resistance of the substrate. Characteristics of the composite coating were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), microhardness and wear tests. And the laser-cladded coating can also have major dilution from the substrate. Due to the action of the fine grain strengthening and the phase constituent, the wear resistance and microhardness of pure Ti surface were greatly improved.

AbstractA hard SiC-B4C reinforced composite coating was fabricated by laser alloying of SiC-B4C+Al-Sn-Mo-Y2O3 mixed powders on a Ti-3Al-2V alloy. Al-Sn-Mo mixed powders were first used in the laser alloying technique to improve the wear resistance of titanium alloys. Proper selection of the laser alloying process parameters allows us to obtain a composite coating with a metallurgical combination with substrate. Under the action of Mo, fine particles with high microhardness were produced in the coating matrix and also hindered the formation of adhesion patches and deep plowing grooves during the sliding wear process, leading to the improvement of wear resistance of a titanium alloy substrate surface.
