ni-p and ni layers multilayer coatings were applied to az31 magnesium alloy utilizing electroless and electrodeposition procedures. the aim of the project was to decrease cracks and increase corrosion resistance of the coatings. in order to compare the coatings, the effect of single layer electroless ni-p coatings with different thicknesses was also investigated. the microstructure and phase co...

Functional plating such as alloys or dispersion coatings have been widely used in metal finishing industry. In general, dispersion coatings are deposited from plating baths containing suspended particles such as metal oxides, carbides, metals or organic materials,(l-3) Codeposited particles in the dispersion coatings have the remarkable influence on the properties of the deposits depending on t...

The Ni-B-P alloy coatings were made autocatalytically (electroless) using an alkaline plating bath with nickel chloride hexahydrate (NiCl2.6H2O) as the source of nickel ions, sodium borohydride (NaBH4) and sodium hypophosphite (NaH2PO2) as reducing agents and source of boron and phosphorous ions, respectively. The effects of bath concentrations on the plating rate, composition of coating, surfa...

in the present study, ni-p-cnt composite coating was successfully fabricated via electroless plating. scanning electron microscopy (sem) was used to characterize the coatings. the effect of cnts concentration in the bath on its content in the composite coatings was studied. furthermore, the corrosion behaviour of the coatings with different contents of cnts was evaluated using tafel polarizatio...

in this research, tribological behavior of ti-ni-p intermetallic coatings on titanium substrates have been investigated under dry reciprocating conditions. hardness profile testing results exhibit that high surface hardness has been attained and static indentation result shows that the intermetallic coating has better adhesion strength than the conventional ceramic coatings. in this respect, th...

A novel technique for obtaining nonanomalous Ni-Zn-P coatings with high Ni content ~74 wt % as compared to 15-20 wt % in the conventional plating method! has been developed. These coatings show promise as a replacement for Cd in sacrificially protecting steel. Ni-Zn-P coatings were deposited using an electroless method from a solution containing NiSO4 , complexing agent and ammonium chloride. V...
