A wood-based composite was prepared via simple electroless Ni-Cu-P plating on birch veneer for EMI shielding. The effects of CuSO4·5H2O concentration on the metal deposition, elemental composition, phase structure, surface morphology, wettability, surface resistivity, and shielding effectiveness of coatings were investigated. The coatings were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray ...

Although micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings are widely used for anti-wear protection of metals, they usually contain lots pores and exhibit high coefficient friction. In this work, porous MAO consisting Al2TiO5 were fabricated on the titanium substrate, then Ni-P Ni-P-polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) deposited via electroless plating to fill improve tribological performance. Electroless has wear ...

Abstract: Electroless Nickel (EN) composite coatings embedded with Cr2O3 and/or MoS2 particles were deposited to combine the characters of both Cr2O3 and MoS2 into one coating in this study. The effects of the co-deposited particles on corrosion behavior of the coating in 3.5% NaCl media were investigated. The results showed that both Ni-P and Ni-P composite coatings had significant improvement...

Ni-P Electroless coatings provide appropriate resistance to wear and corrosion. Co-deposition of particles between layers can improve their properties, especially general corrosion and erosion-corrosion behavior by means of nano diamond as reinforcing particles. In this study Ni-P/nano diamond composite deposition were deposited on steel substrate. Structure of the coatings and corrosion r...

Composition modulated multilayer alloy (CMMA) coatings of Zn-Ni were electrodeposited galvanostatically on mild steel (MS) for enhanced corrosion protection using single bath technique. Successive layers of Zn-Ni alloys, having alternately different composition were obtained in nanometer scale by making the cathode current to cycle between two values, called cyclic cathode current densities (CC...

In this research, novel functionally graded Ni-P coating was deposited with electroless process. The content of phosphorus was controlled to change gradual through the thickness of the coating. During the plating, bath temperature and pH were changed at specified intervals to obtain functionally graded structure. To compare the properties of functionally graded coating with Ni-P single-layer co...

Electroless composite coatings used for achieving of high hardness, lubrication properties, non-stick surface, abrasive coating applications that by impregnation of soft and hard particles into Ni matrix. Electroless Nickel-phosphorous coatings properties and performance is greatly affected by the amount of phosphorus in them. The phosphor in this coating usually varies from 1 to 13 percent. In...
