Effect of TMAB concentration on structural,mechanical and corrosion properties of electrodeposited Ni–B alloys

The influence of trimethylamine borane (TMAB) concentration as a boron (B) source on the structural and corrosive properties of Ni–B alloy coatings produced by electrodeposition was investigated. The crystal structure of the Ni–B coatings is influenced by the B content in the coating, having a slight (220) preferred orientation. The B content in the coating increased from 16 to 34 at.% with the corresponding increase in the concentration of TMAB from 1 to 20 g/L, while interestingly retaining a crystal structure. The hardness of the coatings increased with increasing B content owing to the formation of smaller crystallites. An increase in B content in the alloy coatings, led to a shift in the E_corr values to more anodic potentials, indicating increase corrosion protection for the Ni–B coatings. This study achieved to reach 34 at.% B content in Ni–B alloy coatings produced by electrodeposition while preventing amorphization of the coating layer.     

Mechanical and corrosion behavior of amorphous and crystalline electroless Ni–W–P coatings

Two types of electroless Ni–W–P coatings: nanocrystalline with low P and amorphous with higher P content are investigated. Scanning probe microscopy is applied to study their morphology. Textured nanocrystalline coatings consist of coarse pyramids built of nanometer thick lamellas. The surface morphology of amorphous coatings is much finer and uniform. Nanohardness of all coatings depends on W content. Microhardness is increasing during the heat treatment up to 350 °C due to nickel phosphide precipitation affected by tungsten also. The wear resistance of nanocrystalline Ni–W–P coatings is much higher than that of amorphous in spite of the similar tungsten content in both. Lower corrosion resistance of amorphous Ni–W–P coatings is found by weight loss method during long-term immersion in 5 % NaCl. Electrochemical tests by potentiodynamic polarization curves in two model corrosion media—solutions of 0.5 M H₂SO₄ and 5 % NaCl—are performed. The corrosion of bi-layered Ni–W–P/Ni–P and Ni–W–P/Ni–Cu–P deposits on mild steel is also investigated. The results prove that an electroless Ni–W–P coating on mild steel extremely improves its mechanical and corrosion behavior. It is demonstrated that in addition to deposit’s structure and composition, the distribution and chemical state of alloy ingredients are also responsible for its properties.     

Preparation and properties of Ni–Co–P/nano‐sized Si3N4 electroless composite coatings

Ni–Co–P/nano‐sized Si₃N₄ composite coating was successfully fabricated on aluminum alloys by electroless plating in this work. The surface and cross‐sectional morphologies, composition, microstructure, microhardness, friction and wear behavior of deposits were investigated with SEM, EDS, XRD, Vickers hardness and high‐speed reciprocating friction, respectively. It was found that a Ni–Co–P/nano‐sized Si₃N₄ composite coating on aluminum alloy substrate is uniform and compact. The existence of nano‐sized Si₃N₄ particles in the Ni–Co–P alloy matrix causes a rougher surface with a granular appearance, and increases the microhardness but decreases the friction coefficients and wear rate of electroless coatings. Meanwhile, the effects of heat treatment at 200, 300, 400 and 500 °C for 1 h on the hardness and tribological properties were researched. It is revealed that both of the microhardness and tribological properties of Ni–Co–P coatings and Ni–Co–P/Si₃N₄ composite coatings increase with the increase of heating temperature in the range of 200–400 °C, but show different behavior for the two coatings after annealing at 500 °C.

Electrochemical Behavior of Dental Ni‐Cr Wirolloy Coated with Eco‐friendly Films in Artificial Saliva

The electrochemical corrosion behavior of the non‐precious Ni‐Cr Wirolloy, being used in dentistry, was investigated before and after applying of two types of eco‐friendly coatings, polyvinyl silsesquioxane (PVS) and nano‐hydroxyapatite (nHAP) separately in artificial saliva solution at 37 °C for 14 d of immersion. The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the introduced coating films in enhancing the corrosion resistance of the alloy, and in decreasing the leaching of the toxic Ni ions from the alloy into the environment. The electrochemical corrosion investigation methods used are; open circuit potential (OCP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. The evaluated results revealed that the electrochemically coated alloy with PVS. prepared at cathodic potential showed higher corrosion resistance and more stable film compared to that prepared by conventional dip‐coating method. At the same time, the nHAP electrochemically coated film provided the best anti‐corrosion properties over all examined time intervals. The obtained results were confirmed via surface analysis, which assured the formation of the prepared coatings on the alloy surface. Chemical analysis of the corrosion product/solutions showed that the effect of electrochemically deposited nHAP and PVS. polymer films in suppression of Ni ions leaching is similar and slightly higher than that of the chemically coated PVS. one; however, all of them are efficient in decreasing the leaching of the risky Ni ions into the solution.     

Effect of Cu in electroless Ni–Cu–P coating on passivation process

Electroless Ni–P and Ni–Cu–P coatings were passivated by chromate conversion treatment respectively. The anticorrosive performances of passivated coatings were investigated by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. The passivated Ni–Cu–P coating exhibited a high corrosion resistance with the i_corr of 0.236 μA/cm,² while the value of passivated Ni–P coating was only 1.030 μA/cm,² indicating the passive film could improve the corrosion resistance of Ni–Cu–P coating to a significant extent. High‐resolution X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to determine the chemical states of elements detected in the passive film. Compared with passivated Ni–P coating, the passive film on Ni–Cu–P coating exhibited a higher ratio of Cr₂O₃ to Cr(OH)₃ with the value of 72:28, which was the main factor for passivated Ni–Cu–P coating showing excellent corrosion resistance. The effect of Cu in electroless Ni–Cu–P coating on passivation process was discussed by the contrast experiment. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Corrosion behavior of electroless Ni–P/TiO2 nanocomposite coatings

Composite Ni–P/nano‐TiO₂ coatings were prepared by simultaneous electroless deposition of Ni–P and nano‐TiO₂ on a low carbon steel substrate. The deposition was carried out from stirred solutions containing suspended nano‐TiO₂ particles. The Ni–P and Ni–P/nano‐TiO₂ coatings before and after heat treatment were characterized by X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy. The micro‐structural morphologies of the coatings significantly varied with the nano‐TiO₂ content. The corrosion resistance of as‐plated and heat‐treated Ni–P and Ni–P/nano‐TiO₂ coatings was investigated by anodic polarization, Tafel plots and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic (EIS) studies in 3.5% NaCl solution. Ni–P/nano‐TiO₂ coating exhibited superior corrosion resistance over Ni–P coating. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Improvement in corrosion resistance of micro arc oxidation coating formed on AZ91D magnesium alloy via applying a nano-crystalline sol–gel layer

Although magnesium is used in many industries, it is reactive and requires protection against aggressive environments. In this study, oxide coating was formed on AZ91D magnesium alloy using micro-arc oxidation (MAO) process in an alkaline electrolyte. Then, in order to seal the pores in the oxide film, a sol–gel layer was applied to the surface of the MAO coating by dipping. For investigation of heat treatment temperature of the sol–gel layer on the properties of the coatings, two different temperatures (150 and 350 °C) were chosen. Surface morphologies and compositions of the coatings were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscope and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Surface roughness of the coatings was also measured. The corrosion behavior of the coatings was evaluated with Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization tests in 3.5 wt%NaCl solution. The porosity percent of the coatings was measured by potentiodynamic polarization tests results. It is found that the sol–gel layers successfully cover the pores of the MAO coatings. The results of the corrosion tests show that the sol–gel layers significantly increase the corrosion resistance of the substrate by reducing the percent of the porosity. The grain size measurements by XRD analysis shows that the grain size of the sol–gel layer heated in 350 °C is about 50 nm.     

Application of pressurized sample preparation methods for the analysis of steels and copper alloys

Pressurized sample preparation devices (High Pressure Asher, Pressurized Microwave Digestion system, compared with a PTFE decomposition vessel) were used to dissolve certified metal alloy samples (steel, copper) for ICP analysis. Based on the results of the analysis it was established that both up-to-date devices can be advantageously applied to quickly and quantitatively dissolve metal alloy samples. To dissolve the samples, two different kinds of acid mixtures (A: nitric and hydrochloric acid; B: nitric and hydrochloric and sulphuric and phosphoric acid) were used. The sample preparation is simpler and less time-consuming than the earlier commonly used methods, sample loss and degree of contamination are also reduced. Steel samples containing tungsten, titanium and niobium (less than 0.5%) can only be analyzed using a mixture of the four acids. By dissolving steel samples in the nitric and hydrochloric acid mixture, the concentration of their most common elements (Cr, Ni, Mn, V, Cu) as well as their S and P content can be determined. Copper alloy samples can be dissolved quickly by the pressurized microwave decomposition device using hydrochloric acid and diluted (1:1) nitric acid.     

hytic Acid Conversion Coatings of Magnesium

A chrome‐free conversion coating treatment for magnesium by phytic acid solution was developed. The immersion experiments were used for evaluating the effects of the processing parameters (such as conversion temperature and time, concentration and pH value of phytic acid solution) on the corrosion resistance of the phytic acid conversion coating. The morphologies and compositions of the coatings were determined by SEM and EDS respectively. The experimental results indicated that the corrosion resistance of the conversion coating formed in the solution containing 0.5% phytic acid at 25°C and pH=4 for 30 min was higher than that of natural oxide, and the conversion coating formed on the surface of magnesium was of multilayer mainly consisting of Mg, C, O and P. The thicknesses of the conversion coatings were approximately 1.0–15 µm and the conversion coatings presented obvious network‐like cracks. The electrochemical potentiodynamic polarization experiment indicated that the free corrosion potential of the magnesium with phytic acid conversion coating was increased, and its corrosion current and corrosion rate declined in 3.5% NaCl solution. Phytic acid conversion coating could improve the electrochemical property of magnesium and provide effective protection, which can improve the corrosion resistance of magnesium.
