Abstract

Nickel-based composites have been considered ideal for the fabrication of protective layers for mechanical equipment in hostile environments and are widely used in the fields of automobile, agricultural rods, agricultural pumps, aircraft, military projects, and chemical engineering due to their outstanding corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance. This study reports the preparation of Ni-TiN nanocomposites on A3 steel matrix via the jet pulse electrodeposition method (JPE). The effect of jet speed was investigated on the microstructure, thickness, abrasive resistance, corrosion resistance, and plating mechanism of Ni-TiN nanocomposites. The results indicated that the Ni-TiN nanocomposites prepared with a jet speed of 2.4 m/s generated the smallest nickel grains with an average size of 312 nm. The thicknesses of Ni-TiN nanocomposites obtained under three jet speeds of 1.8, 2.4, and 3 m/s were 47.5 μm, 94.7 μm, and 68.1 μm, respectively. Ni-TiN nanocomposites prepared at a jet speed of 2.4 m/s exhibited dense and flat surface morphologies. Ni-TiN nanocomposites prepared at a jet speed of 2.4 m/s exhibited relatively broader and weaker nickel grain diffraction peaks compared to the other two composites. The highest hardness equivalent value of the prepared Ni-TiN nanocomposites was 897.4 HV under deposition conditions of 2.4 m/s jet speed. Furthermore, Ni-TiN nanocomposites obtained at 2.4 m/s had the lowest average corrosion current density 26.5 × 10-5 A/cm2, demonstrating that the corrosion resistance was at its highest level.
