in the past 30 years, electroless nickel (en) plating has grown to such proportions that these coatingsand their applications are now found underground, in outer space, and in a myriad of areas inbetween. moreover, in order to further improve the mechanical and tribological properties of thenickel-phosphorous (ni-p) coatings, ni-p/ptfe composite coatings can be obtained, which provideseven grea...

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...

In this study, a number of abhesion promoting coatings were considered in terms of their physicochemical and release properties. The techniques used to further this study include; FEGSEM, AFM, profilometry, AFM, XPS, AES, SSIMS, FTIR and contact angle analysis for coating physical and chemical characterisation along with PF-AFM and other adhesion and mechanical tests to determine surface releas...

In the last decade a strong development in the nanomaterials field has been observed due to the unique and specific mechanical and physical properties of these nanomaterials comparatively to their coarser grain size materials [1–3]. On the other hand, thin metallic films play also an important role in many areas of the electronic industry for different applications, such as protective coatings ...

in this work, nanostructured niti shape memory alloy with equal atomic percentage was produced through mechanical alloying. the result exhibited that after 60 h of mechanical alloying of high purity elemental powder mixtures of nickel and titanium by a planetary high-energy ball mill, the ti dissolved into ni lattice and niti (b2) phase with was obtained. the xrd investigations, sem observation...

Abstract: current densities. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results showed that the codeposition mechanism oftungsten in Ni-W deposition is the reduction of tungsten oxide which changed to the reduction of tungsten-containingion complexes at higher current densities. In Co-W electrodeposition, the tungsten codeposition takes place viareduction of tungsten oxide, although, the role...
