In current investigation, the Ni-P-W/ZrO2 electroless nanocomposite coatings are deposited upon mild steel substrate (AISI 1040 grade). The W/ZrO2 nanoparticles (50 to 130 nm range) were incorporated separately into acidic electroless Ni-P matrix as a second phase materials. The as-plated EL Ni-P-W/ZrO2 depositions were also heated at 400 οC in Argon atmosphere for one hour duration and analyzed by SEM/EDAX and XRD physical methods. The Ni-P-W/ZrO2 as-plated coupons revealed nebulous type structures while heated coupons showed crystalline structures in both cases. Furthermore Ni-P-ZrO2 coatings have very less cracks and gaps as compared to Ni-P-W coatings. The corrosion tests result in peracid (0.30 ± 0.02 % active oxygen) solutions point up that corrosivity of peracid ( 500 ppm Cl) is more than peracid (0 ppm Cl) and corrosion resistance of tested coupons varies as Ni-P-ZrO2 (as-plated) > Ni-P-ZrO2 (heated) > Ni-P-W (as-plated) > Ni-P-W (heated) > MS. The utilization of Ni-P-ZrO2 nanocomposite coatings in peracid solutions can be considered a cost effective option on the basis of its better cost/strength ratio in addition to its fair corrosion resistance.

In this study, an attempt has been made to develop electroless Ni-P-ZrO2nanocomposite coatings on mild steel substrate where the reinforced nanosized ZrO2particles were prepared by mechanical milling using high energy planetary ball mill. An alkaline bath was used with a suspension of ZrO2particles (4 g/L) for the synthesis of Ni-P-ZrO2composite coating. The surface morphology, size range and phase analysis of as-prepared ZrO2particles were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and the properties of the coatings such as hardness and wear (ball-on-disc) were investigated and compared with Ni-P deposits. The results showed that as-prepared ZrO2particles exhibit irregular shaped and size ranges from 14 to 17nm. After heat treatment (400°C,1h), the microhardness and wear resistance of the coatings are significantly improved. The Ni-P-ZrO2nanocomposite coatings exhibit enhanced wear resistance over NiP coating.

Electroless Ni-P coating containing ZrO2particles was successfully co-deposited on low carbon steel substrate. The surface and cross-sectional micrographs of the composite coatings were observed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). And the chemical composition of the coating was analyzed with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The oxidation resistance was evaluated by weight gains during high temperature oxidation test. The results showed that the embedded ZrO2particles with irregular shape uniformly distributed in the entire Ni-P matrix, and the coating showed a good adhesion to the substrate. The weight gain curves of Ni-P-ZrO2composite coatings and Ni-P coating at 923K oxidation experiments were in accordance with . The ZrO2particles in Ni-P matrix could significantly enhance the high temperature oxidation resistance of the carbon steel substrate as compared to pure Ni-P coating.

Corrosion resistance of steel has attracted substantial interest for manufacturing applications to reduce costs corresponding to part failures, unexpected maintenance, and shortening lifespan. Meanwhile, millions of tonnes of slag, non-recyclable glass, and automotive shredder residue (ASR) are discarded into landfills every year, polluting the environment. Combining these two major issues, we delivered an alternative solution to enhance corrosion resistance of high-C steel. In this research, utilisation of these wastes (which were chemically bonded into steel substrate) as sources for production of multi-hybrid layering—including the multi-phase ceramic layer, the carbide layer, and the selective diffusion layer—was successfully achieved by single step surface modification technology. High-resolution topographical imaging by SEM and chemical composition analysis in micron-volume by electron probe micro analyser (EPMA) were performed. Nano-characterisation by atomic force microscopy (AFM) using the PeakForce quantitative nanomechanical mapping (PF-QNM) method was conducted to define Young’s modulus value of each phase in detail. Results revealed improvement of corrosion resistance by 39% and a significantly increased hardness of 13.58 GPa. This integrated approach is prominent for economic and environmental sustainability, consolidating industry demands for more profits, producing durable, steel components in a cost effective way to reduce dependency on new resources, and minimising negative impacts to the environment from disposal of wastes to the landfills.

AbstractElectroless nickel coating treatment improves the corrosion resistance of mild steel. This work aims at studying the corrosion behavior of electroless Ni-P/TiO2 composite and multilayer coatings applied to the mild steel substrate as their as-plated state and furnace annealed at various temperatures and compared both the coatings’ corrosion performance. The corrosion behavior of the deposits was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization studies in 3.5 wt% sodium chloride solution. The results showed that the corrosion resistance of the multilayer coating was two times higher compared to the composite coatings. Further, the corrosion mechanism was discussed in terms of microstructure, phase transformation, grain size, and microstrain.

Electroless Ni-Cu-P alloy coatings were deposited on the ordinary steel substrate in an acidic hypophosphite-type plating bath. These coatings were characterized by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and an X-ray diffraction. The micrograph shows that coating presents a nodular aspect and is relatively homogeneous and very smooth. The EDX analysis shows that the coating contains 12 wt.% of phosphorus element with a predominance of nickel element. In addition, the anticorrosion properties of the Ni-Cu-P coatings in 1 M HCl, 1 M H2SO4, and 3% NaCl solutions were investigated using Tafel polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and SEM/EDX analysis. The result showed a marginal improvement in corrosion resistance in 3% NaCl solution compared to acidic medium. It also showed that the corrosion mechanism depends on the nature of the solution.

Over the last ten years, sulfuric acid dewpoint corrosion has become a more important concern in refinery furnaces since sulfur levels in fuels have increased. Electroless nickel phosphorous coating is one of the most widely used industrial coatings owing to its good corrosion resistance in many highly corrosive environments. In this work, electroless Ni-P-SiO2 composite coatings were prepared on AISI 1020 carbon steel. And the corrosion behaviors of Ni-P-SiO2, Ni-P coatings and carbon steel substrate were evaluated by immersion, electrochemical tests in 5%wt sulfuric acid solution, and dewpoint corrosion tests in simulated furnace flue gas. The experimental results indicated that corrosion resistance properties of Ni-P-SiO2 coating was best, followed by Ni-P coating and carbon steel was worst.
