A review on mechanical, tribological and electrochemical performance of ceramic particle-reinforced Ni-based electrodeposited composite coatings
Source abstract
Abstract
Ni-based composite coatings have been widely used for various industrial applications due to their high electrical and thermal conductivity, hardness, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and magnetic properties. For example, the Ni alloy matrix provides good thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity and magnetic properties (Ni–Cu, Ni–Fe, Ni–P, Ni–B). The carbonaceous material reinforcement in pure Ni and alloy matrix (carbon nanotube, graphene and graphite) provides good thermal and electrical conductivities along with good mechanical and tribological properties. Further, the addition of ceramic particles (SiC, Al2O3, TiO2, ZrO2, Si3N4, TiN, AlN, TiC, etc.) in the pure and alloy matrix provides good mechanical, tribological and corrosion resistance properties. Thus, the ceramic particle-reinforced composite coatings can be used for several industrial applications such as automobiles, aerospace, oil and gas industries. The present review aims to provide an insight into the effect of processing parameters and ceramic particle reinforcements (oxides, carbides and nitrides) on the mechanical, tribological and electrochemical performance of the Ni-based electrodeposited coatings. It is noted that the pulse current (PC) method provides more uniform and compact coatings as compared to the direct current (DC) method. Further, it was observed that the co-deposition parameters, such as electrolyte bath concentration, current density and temperature, affect the properties of the coatings. Furthermore, the Ni-based PC-electrodeposited composite coatings reinforced with ceramic particles are reviewed in detail. It was observed that the fine grain structure in the coatings improves the mechanical strength of coatings due to the grain size strengthening mechanism. Moreover, the nano-sized ceramic particle reinforcement enhances the mechanical and tribological performance of the coatings due to their high hardness (particle strengthening) and uniform distribution (dispersion strengthening). Besides, the ceramic particle in the coatings reduces the tendency of localized and pitting corrosion mechanisms owing to their chemically inert nature and uniform distribution throughout the surface.
