Corrosion behaviours of these coatings before and after various treatments were evaluated with anodic polarisation in 0.5 mol/L H2SO4 solution.The results show that the furnace-annealing produces either a mixture of nanocrystallined Ni and amorphous phases or precipitated Ni3P phase distributed in nanocrystallined Ni-based matrix,depending on annealing temperatures,whilst the laser treatment under the operating conditions only produces nanocrystallined Ni-based matrix with Ni3P precipitates.Corrosion performance of the coatings treated by both the laser and the furnace-annealing is dependent on the annealing temperature and laser operating conditions.Corrosion mechanisms of various treated-coatings were discussed in the consideration of phase constitutes and proportion,grain sizes of both Ni and Ni3P phases,pores formation and residual stresses.展开更多
