The crystallization course was characterized by phase structures, crystallinity, grain sizes and microstructures. The results indicate that as-deposited composite coating is amorphous. Whereas it turns into the crystalline structure with 98.25% crystallinity, and Ni3 P, Ni2 P and Ni5P2 alloy phases precipitate from structures at 400 °C. Thereafter, Ni2 P and Ni5P2 metastable alloy phases turn into Ni3 P stable alloy phase at 500 °C. The crystallization course of the composite coating has finished when being heat-treated at 700 °C. The average sizes of Ni grains increase with the rise of heat treatment temperature from400 °C to 700 °C. Ce O2 and Si O2 nano-particles deposited into Ni-W-P alloys can delay the crystallization course and habit the growth of alloy phases.展开更多

The effects of the nano-particles on the microstructure, microhardness and tribological properties of the composite coating under the lubrication of a diesel oil containing sand are investigated. The results show that the microstructure of the composite coating is finer than that of the pure nickel coating due to the codeposition of the nano-particles. When the nano-particle concentration in the electroplating bath reaches 20 g/L, the microhardness, and wear resistance of the composite coating is as much as 1.6 times and 1.3-2.5 times of those of the pure nickel coating respectively. The main hardening mechanism of the composite coating is superfine crystal grain strengthening and dispersion strengthening. The composite coating is characterized by scuffing as it slides against Si3N4 under the present test conditions.展开更多

Cr microparticles are in a size range of 1-5 μm and Cr nanoparticles have an average size of 40 nm. The friction and the wear performance of the co-deposited Ni-Cr composite coatings were comparatively evaluated by sliding against Si3N4 ceramic balls under non-lubricated conditions. It is found that the incorporation of Cr particles enhances the microhardness and wear resistance of Ni coatings. The wear resistance of Ni composite coating containing Cr nanoparticles is higher than that of the Ni composite coating containing Cr microparticles with a comparable Cr particle content. The co-deposition of smaller nanometer Cr particles with Ni effectively reduces the size of Ni crystals and significantly increases the hardness of the composite coatings due to grain-refinement strengthening and dispersion-strengthening,resulting in a significant improvement of wear resistance of the Ni-Cr nanocomposite coatings.展开更多

The corrosion resistance of Zn-Ni-silica composite coatings was rem arkably improved by the silica nanoparticles in the composite, which were disper sed in the surface of this film. The silane coupling agent formed chemical bonds with the inorganic silica particles during the silane coupling treatment on the se composite coatings. The treatment suppressed the formation of white corrosion products to the same extent as chromating, as measured in salt spray tests. It is concluded that treating Zn-Ni-silica composite coatings with silane coupling agents is a viable alternative technique to chromating.展开更多

Apart from the Al2O3 scale formed on the surface, the microstructure of the composite coatings exposed at 900℃ in air for 4h was a three-layer structure. The first layer consisted of a solid solution of Cr and Fe in α aluminum and an intermetallic compound FeAl3 while the second layer was a single phase of the aluminide and the third layer still remained the same appearance as the original Fe-Cr-Al coating. The microstructural observation of the specimen tested at 850-900℃ at low oxygen pressure and high sulfur pressure for 576h revealed that the surface coatings of the specimen had transformed into a duplex structure containing an outer layer and a thicker aluminide layer beneath. X-ray diffraction results showed that the out layer was composed of Al2S3 and Al2O3 and that AlCrFee was the main phase composition of the aluminide layer, with a few of Al2S3 and Al2O3 accompanied.展开更多

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.

文摘Ni-6.0%SiC (mass fraction) nanocomposite coating was prepared from a nickel sulfate bath by co-electrodeposition of Ni and SiC nanoparticles in an average size of 30 nm. The oxidation at 1 000 ℃ shows that the Ni-6.0%SiC nanocomposite coating has a superior oxidation resistance compared with the pure Ni film due to the formation of SiO2 oxide particles along grain boundaries, blocking the outward diffusion of Ni and changing the oxidation growth mechanism. The effect of SiC nanoparticles on the oxidation progress was discussed in detail.

文摘The composite coating was prepared by thermal spray welding after making composite powder,which is composed of Ni-based self-melted alloy and AlOceramic powder including nano,sub-micron and micron powders.The influences of contents and sizes of AlOon the structure and wearability were investigated.The results show that the wear resistance of the coating would be increased greatly by adding AlO,but the spray weldability decreases with increasing AlOcontent.So there is an optimal content of AlOpowder.The composite coating with AlOnano or sub-micron powder of 0.5% has the best abrasive resistance,while the optimal content of AlOmicron powder is 1 %.
文摘The fixing of a silane coupling agent to Zn-Ni-silica (SiO2) composite coatings was studied for the purpose of developing a coating process as an alternative to chromating. The corrosion resistance of Zn-Ni-silica composite coatings was rem arkably improved by the silica nanoparticles in the composite, which were disper sed in the surface of this film. The silane coupling agent formed chemical bonds with the inorganic silica particles during the silane coupling treatment on the se composite coatings. The treatment suppressed the formation of white corrosion products to the same extent as chromating, as measured in salt spray tests. It is concluded that treating Zn-Ni-silica composite coatings with silane coupling agents is a viable alternative technique to chromating.
文摘The microstructure of a composite coating system, which was composed of an inner layer of Fe-Cr-Al and an outer layer of aluminum, was studied after it was respectively oxidized and sulfurdized at elevated temperatures. Apart from the Al2O3 scale formed on the surface, the microstructure of the composite coatings exposed at 900℃ in air for 4h was a three-layer structure. The first layer consisted of a solid solution of Cr and Fe in α aluminum and an intermetallic compound FeAl3 while the second layer was a single phase of the aluminide and the third layer still remained the same appearance as the original Fe-Cr-Al coating. The microstructural observation of the specimen tested at 850-900℃ at low oxygen pressure and high sulfur pressure for 576h revealed that the surface coatings of the specimen had transformed into a duplex structure containing an outer layer and a thicker aluminide layer beneath. X-ray diffraction results showed that the out layer was composed of Al2S3 and Al2O3 and that AlCrFee was the main phase composition of the aluminide layer, with a few of Al2S3 and Al2O3 accompanied.
