Ni-Co nanocomposites Prepared by electrodeposition in a modified Watts bath containing various quantities of silicon carbide SiC and the organic additive sodium dodecyl sulfate SDS as a surfactant. The influence of nanoparticle incorporation on the electrodeposit microstructure, mechanical characteristics, and deformation process was studied. Vickers micro-hardness and weight loss tests were used to study the mechanical properties and morphology. The microstructure has also been analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Co-deposition of uniformly dispersed SiC particles, on the other hand, was found to improve the extreme tensile strength of the deposits significantly; SDS lowered the surface tension, allowing the SiC particles to fill in all remaining gaps to achieve a homogeneous surface. A process involving atoms that can dramatically improve flexibility. Incorporation of SiC particles and raising the strain rate encouraged a ductile fracture mode in a nano-crystalline Ni-Co matrix, which demonstrated a mixed mod behavior of flexible and brittle fracture; it was evident that the addition of SDS increases the concentration of SiC particles in general on Ni-Co samples. Moreover, compare Ni-Co with various amounts of SiC and Ni-Co/SiC with adding SDS. Furthermore, to achieve the highest possible electroplating efficiency.

Ni–Co alloy coatings were electrodeposited at various cobalt amounts on pretreated steel substrates. The co-deposition phenomenon of Ni-Co alloys was described as anomalous behaviour. Different techniques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and potentiodynamic polarization were used to characterize the alloy coatings. EDX results showed that the Co content increase with the enhancing of Co amount. SEM images have shown that the increase of Co amount leads grain developing from large grain to branched grain form and that goes through spherical and pyramidal, this implies that the grain size of these alloy coatings is greatly affected by Co amount in the electrolyte baths. XRD patterns revealed that the phase structure of Ni–Co coatings is dramatically changed from fcc into hcp structure with the increase of Co amount. The electrochemical properties of Ni-Co alloy coatings evaluated in 3.5% NaCl solution reveal that Ni–34.32 wt.% Co alloy exhibits better corrosion resistance compared to pure Ni and other Ni–Co alloy coatings.
