Study on corrosion resistance of electroplating zinc–nickel alloy coatings

Electrodeposited zinc–nickel alloy coatings have been widely adopted for surface treatment of automobile body steel sheet for high corrosion resistance. The corrosion behavior of the coatings has been related with the components of nickel, and the zinc–nickel alloy passive coatings have much higher corrosion resistance than that of zinc–nickel alloy coatings. In the present paper, the corrosion resistance behavior of the zinc–nickel alloy coatings obtained by new process and formulation has been studied by means of the electrochemistry test and neutral salt spray test. And it is discovered that the properties of corrosion resistance of zinc–nickel alloy passive coatings were better than that of zinc passive coatings, Cadmium passive coatings and alloys of electrodeposited cadmium–titanium. The components of corrosion productions, in terms of X‐ray diffraction (XRD), are mainly ZnO, ZnCl₂ · 4Zn(OH)₂ and small quantity of 2ZnCO₃· 3Zn(OH)₂. The component of zinc–nickel alloy coatings has been investigated with Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectrometry (GDA‐750). And it is found that as the thickness of zinc–nickel alloy coatings increases, the component of zinc increases from beginning to end, but the peak value of nickel appears and an enrichment of nickel in the coatings comes into being. Because the electrodeposited zinc–nickel alloy coatings exhibit different alloy phases as a function of their alloy composition, in this paper, the crystal structure changing with the different component of nickel has been studied in terms of XRD. The result shows that electrodeposited zinc–nickel alloy has different phases: α‐phase, a solid solution of zinc in nickel with an equilibrium solubility of about more than 79% nickel; γ‐phase, an intermediate phase with a composition Ni₅Zn₂₁; η‐phase, a solid solution of nickel in zinc with less than 5% nickel; and δ‐phase (Ni₃Zn₂₂) appeared from η‐phase to α‐phase with increasing content of nickel.

Influence of electroless nickel plating of hydrogen-absorbing alloys on cycle characteristics of nickel-metal hydride batteries

The effects of electroless nickel plating of a hydrogen-absorbing alloy on the cycle characteristics of a nickel-metal hydride battery were investigated. The cycle life was improved by employing an electroless nickel-plated hydrogen-absorbing alloy for the negative electrode, which retained the same high-rate level and low-temperature characteristics compared to a cell using a non-plated hydrogen-absorbing alloy. The electroless nickel-plated hydrogen-absorbing alloy provided better electrochemical characteristics when its surface was partly and tightly covered by nickel particles under optimal electroless plating conditions.

Interactions during the chlorination of a copper–zinc alloy

In this paper several aspects involved in the chlorination of a Zn 48% wt.–Cu alloy between 250 and 500 °C are investigated. The starting temperature for the chlorination of the alloy is determined, which is different from those of pure metals. Analysis of the chlorination thermogravimetric curves and reaction products reveal that there are interactions between reactants and products during the reaction, and that volatilization of ZnCl₂ is diminished during the alloy chlorination. Metallic copper is detected at intermediate stages of the chlorination, and this element, which is not present in the initial sample, appears during the chlorination reaction. An oxidation–reduction type reaction between copper chlorides and metallic zinc is proposed to explain the behaviour observed. The occurrence of this reaction at room temperature was confirmed in separate experiments. At the beginning of the reaction, formation of zinc oxichloride was detected that is being formed from the zinc oxide layer that covers the alloy surface. According to the results obtained, a reaction mechanism is presented for the alloy chlorination.

Separation of lead from high matrix electroless nickel plating waste solution using an ion-selective immobilized macrocycle system

Separation of trace levels of lead from concentrated-matrix electroless nickel plating (ENP) waste solutions is required to meet the increasingly stringent environmental regulations. A solid phase extraction (SPE) system using a molecular recognition technology (MRT) gel was used for the selective separation of trace levels of lead (Pb) from the waste discharge of ENP operations, followed by subsequent analysis with inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Two SPE-MRTs, AnaLig® Pb-01 and AnaLig® Pb-02, packed in 3 mL polypropylene cartridges were used to treat the synthetic metal-waste solutions that were used to simulate the typical metal mixture in ENP bath waste. The fortified solutions contained 100-1000 μg L^− 1 of Pb in an HNO₃ matrix with pre-added Ni, Cu and other interfering elements (1000 mg L^− 1). After the sample treatment, the SPE-MRT cartridges were washed with water and 0.1 M nitric acid, followed by elution with 0.03 M EDTA. The matrix elements (e.g., Ni, Cu) were completely removed at the washing step, while the ‘captured’ Pb was quantitatively eluted, as determined by ICP-OES measurements. The detection limit of the proposed method was 2.6 μg L^− 1. ‘Real’ samples from commercial ENP operations were used to assess the validity of this method, and almost quantitative Pb recovery was observed. The excellent Pb selectivity of the SPE-MRT system indicates the potential of the proposed technique for trace-level Pb separation from the Pb-containing high matrix aqueous waste discharge.     

The effect of component concentrations in electroless nickel plating solution on topography and microrelief of Ni-P coatings

Topography and microrelief of Ni-P coatings deposited by electroless plating from solutions with different composition are examined as a function of concentrations of nickel and acetate ions, solution pH, and stabilizing additives, namely, PbCl₂ and thiourea. The coating growth involves the formation of surface spheroids of which a large percentage are strongly extended in the substrate plane and grow by the layered-growth mechanism. In terms of this mechanism, the changes in the topography and microrelief of coatings and also in the spheroid size as a function of the composition of electroless nickel plating solutions are explained. In solutions studied, the rates of formation of new two-dimensional layers and their propagation in the substrate plane are assessed. As the concentration of hydrated nickel ions in solution decreases, spheroids less extended in the substrate plane are formed and grow probably by the normal growth mechanism. The size distribution of spheroids is obtained and the reasons for the partial formation of spheroids with sizes deviating from those predicted by the normal law are analyzed.     

DSC study of precipitation in an Al-Mg-Mn alloy microalloyed with Cu

Power compensation differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) has been employed to detect and analyse precipitation reactions in an Al-1.3Mg-0.4Mn and an Al-1.3Mg-0.4Mn-0.07Cu alloy in which very small amounts of precipitate, less than 0.3 at.%, are expected to form. Due to the very small heat effects, baseline instability and drift significantly interfere with the measurements. After repeated experiments and careful baseline correction it is demonstrated that in the Cu containing alloy, ageing at 170 °C causes the appearance of two endothermic effects: for 2 days ageing a small dissolution effect appears at about 230 °C, whilst for 7 and 21 days ageing a dissolution effect peaking appears at about 300 °C. The temperature range of the latter is consistent with S phase dissolution.     

High-performance liquid chromatography using a color-forming agent as a component of the mobile phase. Separation and determination of nickel and zinc wity xylenol orange

Summary A liquid chromatographic procedure for separating nickel and zinc has been developed. Xylenol orange, which is one of the sensitive and commercially available color-forming agents, was used as a component of the mobile phase. The two ions could be separated on weak anion-exchange gels within 10 min. The procedure was suitable for the determination of nickel and zinc in relatively pure solutions with fairly high sensitivity. The described liquid chromatographic analysis would be also potentially applicable for any aqueous sample containing trace levels of metal cations at 1–10 ppm.

Influence of pulse plating conditions on the structure and properties of pure and composite nickel nanocrystalline coatings

An additive-free Watts type bath containing micron- and nano-SiC particles (1 μm and 20 nm respectively), as well as ultrafine-WC particles (200 nm), was used for the production of pure Ni and nickel matrix composite electrocoatings under both direct and pulse current conditions. Moreover, nickel nanocrystalline deposits were obtained from a Watts type bath containing small amounts of 2-butyne-1,4-diol, in order to investigate the combined advantages of additives and pulse technique on the properties of the deposits. The influence of the variable electrolysis parameters, the particle size and the organic additive concentration on the surface morphology, the structure and properties of the deposits were discussed. It has been proved that the application of pulse electrodeposition affects drastically the structural characteristics and properties of the deposits and under well-defined conditions could lead to the preparation of nanostructured materials with improved mechanical properties. Published in Russian in Elektrokhimiya, 2008, Vol. 44, No. 6, pp. 802–811. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Electrochemical study of brucine on an electrode modified with magnetic carbon-coated nickel nanoparticles

A novel type of glassy carbon electrode modified with magnetic carbon-coated nickel nanoparticles (C-Ni/GCE) was fabricated and the electrochemical properties of brucine were studied using it. The carbon-coated nickel nanoparticles showed excellent electrocatalytic activity for the redox of brucine and an enhanced electron transfer rate. The electrochemical behavior of brucine on the C-Ni/GCE was explored by cyclic voltammetry (CV), and a redox mechanism for brucine was proposed. A series of electrochemical parameters were calculated for brucine by CV and controlled-potential electrolysis. The C-Ni/GCE showed good sensitivity, selectivity and stability, and was applied to determine the concentration of brucine. The differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) response of the C-Ni/GCE showed that the catalytic current was linear with the concentration of brucine in the range of 4.7 × 10⁻⁸ to 2.4 × 10⁻⁴ mol l⁻¹, with a correlation coefficient of 0.998. The detection limit was 1.4 × 10⁻⁸ mol l⁻¹.
