The results indicate that pulse current can improve the deposition rate of RE-Ni-W-P-SiC composite coatings; W, P, and SiC contents in the coating decrease with the increase of pulse frequency and reach the lowest value at f = 33Hz, whereas the RE content in the composite coatings increases with the increase of pulse frequency. SiC content decreases with the increase of duty cycle, W content reaches the lowest value, and P content reaches the highest value at r = 0.4; pulse current and RE can lead to smaller size of the crystalline grains; however, the effects of different pulse frequency and duty cycle on the morphologies of RE-Ni-W-P-SiC composite coatings are not obvious. The hardness of RE-Ni-W-P-SiC composite coatings is the highest when the duty cycle is at 0.6 and 0.8 and pulse frequency is at 50Hz. At the same pulse frequency, the hardness of RE-Ni-W-P-SiC composite coatings at r= 0.8 is higher than that at r= 0.6.展开更多

The microhardness, tribological behavior and wear mechanism were also investigated. Generally, as the current density and frequency increased, the particles content and microhardness of the coatings increased firstly and then decreased. Moreover, by reducing duty cycle, more particles were incorporated and higher microhardness was obtained. The best tribological behavior was achieved under the conditions duty cycle of 10%, frequency of 50 Hz and current density of 100 mA/cm2.展开更多
