The crystal structure and lattice parameters of Cu in Cu-Bi composite coating were measured and compared with Cu coating. The mechanical properties of the coatings were also studied. It was found that the deposition parameters have significant effect on the mechanical properties of the Cu-Bi coatings. The microhardness has been improved from HVso165 of Cu coating to HVs0 250 of Cu-Bi composite coating prepared at 50 mA/cm2 for 20 min. Correspondingly, wear resistance of the Cu-Bi composite coating has also been enhanced significantly.展开更多
