AZ91C镁合金表面Ti-TiN复合镀层的阴极多弧离子镀法制备与表征

采用阴极多弧离子镀膜技术,在AZ91C镁合金基底上首次成功镀制了结合力强的以Ti为过渡层的TiN复合膜层,并利用高分辨扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、X射线能谱仪(EDS)、显微划痕测试等技术对复合膜层的形貌、组织结构及性能进行分析研究。结果表明,采用多弧离子镀膜工艺,能在经过恰当预处理的镁合金基底上制备出性能良好的TiN膜,膜层均匀、致密,膜基结合力达130 mN以上,复合硬度达500 HV左右(AZ91镁合金基底为125 HV)。此外中性盐雾强化实验表明,经该方法处理后的镁合金在ASTM-B117标准测试条件下,腐蚀速率明显降低,经过200 h后,表面无明显腐蚀现象。真空多弧离子镀膜技术有望在镁合金表面防护领域得到应用。

Electrodeposition and corrosion resistance of Ni-P-TiN composite coating on AZ91D magnesium alloy

In order to improve the corrosion resistance and microhardness of AZ91D magnesium alloy, TiN nanoparticles were addedto fabricate Ni-P-TiN composite coating by electrodeposition. The surface, cross-section morphology and composition wereexamined using SEM, EDS and XRD, and the corrosion resistance was checked by electrochemical technology. The results indicatethat TiN nanoparticles were doped successfully in the Ni-P matrix after a series of complex pretreatments including activation, zincimmersion and pre-electroplating, which enhances the stability of magnesium alloy in electrolyte and the adhesion betweenmagnesium alloy and composite coating. The microhardness of the Ni-P coating increases dramatically by adding TiN nanoparticlesand subsequent heat treatment. The corrosion experimental results indicate that the corrosion resistance of Ni-P-TiN compositecoating is much higher than that of uncoated AZ91D magnesium alloy and similar with Ni-P coating in short immersion time.However, TiN nanoparticles play a significant role in long-term corrosion resistance of composite coatings.

Preparation and Characterization of Nanostructured Ni-TiN Composite Films

Ni-TiN nanocomposite films were produced from a Ni plating bath containing TiN nanoparticles by using dc electroplating method. The structure and surface morphology of Ni-TiN composite coatings were analyzed by atom force microscope, X-ray diffraction, and trans- mission electron microscopy. Meanwhile, the anti-corrosion properties, hardness and ther- mostability of Ni-TiN nanocomposite films were also investigated and compared with the traditional polycrystalline Ni coatings. The results show that, compared with the traditional polycrystalline Ni film, Ni-TiN nanocomposite coatings display much better corrosion resistance, higher film hardness, and thermal stability. In addition, the hardness of Ni-TiN nanocomposite coatings decreases slightly with the increase of electroplating current density, which may be due to the synergism of hydrogen evolution and faster nucleation/growth rate of nickel crystallites.
