Synthesis and characterization of nickel–cobalt spin coatings reinforced with carbon nanotubes: microstructural properties, microhardness, and corrosion resistance
Source abstract
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the microstructural, mechanical, and corrosion properties of nickel–cobalt nanocomposite coatings by addition of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to the spin coating electrolyte. Application of this synthesis method leads to several advantages such as production of nanoscale coatings, uniform distribution, and high adhesion of coating to the substrate. The impact of weight percentage of solutions containing nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) in the absence and presence of MWCNT and surfactant on the growth and synthesis mechanism of carbon nanotube (CNT) by spin coating was evaluated on low carbon 304 stainless steel substrates. The microstructural properties of the coatings were evaluated using X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy characterization. Mechanical properties of the coatings were measured by Vickers microhardness test. Corrosion resistance of the coatings was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results showed that Ni (90 wt%)–Co (10 wt%)/CNT coating had the best microstructural and mechanical behavior because of the finest grains. Also, Ni (90 wt%)–Co (10 wt%)/CNT and Ni (50 wt%)–Co (50 wt%)/CNT represented the best mechanical properties and corrosion resistance compared with other coatings.
