The results show that W and SiC contents in the coatings increase with the increase of RE in the bath. When RE is added in the coatings, the grains are refined and the trend of formation of amorphous coatings is increased. Moreover, the thermal stability of the RE Ni W B SiC composite coatings is enhanced. The hardness of the coatings is increased with the increase of heat treatment temperature, and it reaches the peak value when heated at 400 ℃. Besides, the hardness of the RE Ni W B SiC coatings is higher than that of the Ni W B SiC coatings.展开更多

The results show that W and B contents increase in the RE-Ni-W-B composite coating by using pulse electrodeposition. RE, PTFE and B4C particles can be co-deposited into the Ni-W-B composite coating, but the amount is very little. X-ray diffraction analysis displays that the RE-Ni-W-B-B4C-PTFE composite coating is mainly amorphous, partially crystallized as-deposited, but it turns into crystalline state and PTFE in the coatings will decompose after the heat treatment temperature is higher than 400℃. The hardness of the composite coating increases with increasing heat treatment temperature, it comes up to the highest value at 400℃. The oxidized film mass of the composite coating increases slowly when the oxidation temperature is lower than 500℃, but it increases linearly and sharply after the oxidation temperature is higher than 600℃.展开更多

The laser processing was conducted by the powder feeding method using low purity materials without shielding box. To learn the surface amorphous matrix coating forming mechanism, the coating without remelting process was also studied. The phases and microstructures were analyzed by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning- and transmission-electron microscopy（ SEM, TEM）. The microhardness and corrosion resistance property of the coating were also measured. The results of SEM, XRD and TEM analysis show that the remelted coating has an amorphous matrix layer embedded with some crystals due to high cooling rate during remelting process. The crystals phases are identified as Fe2 B phase, γ （Fe, Ni ） phase and α- Fe phase. No oxidation phases are found in the coating surface. Hardness profiles reveal microhardness more than 1 100 HVo.5 over the full depth of the amorphous matrix layer, while the unremtled coating and the substrate show relatively lower hardness than the remelted layer. Corrosion resistance tests exhibit that the remelted coating is nobler than the unremelted coating and the substrate material.展开更多

The results show that the deposition of Ni and B occurs prior to that of H 2 because of the over potential of H 2 evolution on the Fe substrate. Boron can not singly deposit in aqueous solution. Nickel and boron can co deposit in the form of Ni 4B 3 without evolution of hydrogen when the cathodical potential is kept to be -1.415 ～ -1.700?V.展开更多

The results show that the oxidation degree of RE Ni W B B 4C MoS 2 composite coating is small when the temperature is lower than 700 ℃, but it increases sharply when the temperature is higher than 700 ℃. The hardness of RE Ni W B B 4C MoS 2 composite coating increases with increasing heat treatment temperature, it comes up to the maximum value at 400 ℃,but it decreases gradually if the temperature rises continuously. The most favourable abrasion resistance was attained after RE Ni W B B 4C MoS 2 composite coating being heat treated at 400 ℃. Without heat treating, it is mainly amorphous and partially crystallized, but wholly crystallized after being heat treated at 500 ℃. RE in the composite coating is in the form of CeO 2 and additions of CeO 2 and B 4C can enhance the thermostability of RE Ni W B B 4C MoS 2 composite coating.展开更多

The results show that 1) the structure of RE Ni W P B 4C PTFE composite coatings experiences a transformation process from amorphous to mixture then to crystal as the heat treatment temperature rises; 2) incorporating of B 4C greatly increases the hardness of the coating; 3) the wear resistance of the coating is best with heat treatment for 1?h at 300?℃, which is greatly superior to that of the other traditional coatings.展开更多

The present article attempts to study the corrosion behaviour of electroless Ni-B coatings by varying the coating parameters viz. bath temperature, reducing agent concentration and nickel source concentration together with the annealing temperature. The electrochemical parameters viz., corrosion potential and corrosion current density are evaluated with the help of potentiodynamic polarization experimentation. Taguchi based Grey analysis is employed in order to optimize this multiple response problem and the optimal combination of parameters for maximum corrosion resistance for Ni-B coatings is presented. Moreover, analysis of variance reveals that bath temperature and concentration of nickel source have significant influence on the corrosion performance of the coating. The microstructure characterization of the coating is also conducted with the help of scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and X-ray diffraction analysis. The Ni-B coating in general exhibits a nodular structure and turns crystalline with heat treatment. The corroded surface exhibits cracks and black spots which imply the occurrence of localized corrosion.展开更多
