Title: Synthesis and characterization of nanocrystalline Ni/ZrO2 composite coatings
Abstract: Nanocrystalline Ni/ZrO2-composite coatings were produced by codeposition of ZrO2 particles during electroplating of Ni. In this process nanocrystalline ceramic powders with grain sizes below 10 nm were suspended in the plating solution and the ceramic particles codeposit with the metal to produce nanocrystalline metal matrix composite coatings. The influence of the plating parameters on the content and dispersion of the codeposited ceramic particles was investigated. Additionally, the microstructure of the coating was examined and the experimental results were correlated to the mechanical properties of the coatings. It was shown that the ceramic particles cause an increase in hardness, which depends on the amount of codeposited ZrO2.
