Abstract
- Nickel-aluminum (Ni–Al) composite coatings containing nickel nanoscale twins have been prepared by co-electrodeposition on copper substrate. Effects of Al particles on microstructure, chemical composition, friction properties, and corrosion resistance of Ni–Al coatings were investigated. It presents an even and compact structure with granular surface that Al are evenly dispersed in pyramidal-like nickel lattice. Adding Al could alter crystal orientation, refine grains and promote strengthening effects induced by nanoscale twinning. It can enhance anti-corrosion properties and decrease the coefficient of friction (COF). The minimum COF was obtained at 10 g L−1 Al. The larger amounts and even dispersion of Al, the better corrosion resistance and the smaller COF. Increasing Al from 20 to 40 g L−1, incorporated Al in top surface rose from 20.86 to 30.13 wt%, which was larger than in cross section from 13.93 to 18.86 wt%. As the incorporated depth increased, the particle color changed from grey to dark. Nano-twins were generated around enveloped Al particles. The roughness increased as Al rose from 10 to 40 g L−1. The average roughness (R a) was of 191–231 nm. Ni–Al-5g and Ni–Al-80g have excellent anti-corrosion features, owning the maximum R ct of 1437.2 and 1565.1 kΩ cm2, respectively, associated with the amount and distribution of Al particles, preferred orientation, grain sizes, and twinned structure. The enhanced corrosion resistance might be due to the generation of uniform, compact aluminum oxide layer by doping Al in nickel. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
