The Ni-Nd2O3 nanocomposite coatings were prepared by electrodeposition under dual-frequency ultrasound(DU). The Nd2O3 content and surface morphology of Ni-Nd2O3 nanocomposite coatings were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the Nd2O3 content of the nanocomposite coating prepared by electrodeposition using DU was high at 3.48% and the surface morphologies of DU nanocomposite coating showed better smooth surface, finer grain and more compact microstructure. A kind of method to prepare high quality Ni-Nd2O3 nanocomposite coating was obtained, which was: 40 g/L Nd2O3 nanoparticles, 45°C the temperature of electrolyte, 4A/dm2 cathode current density, 240W the power of bath-type ultrasound(BU), 100kHz the frequency of BU, 30W the power of probe-type ultrasound(PU), 20kHz the frequency of PU, and 1000r/min the stirring speed.

The Ni- ZrO2 nanocomposite coatings were prepared by pulse electrodeposition with rotating cathode in an ultrasonic field, and the corrosion resistance of the coatings were studied in 5% H2SO4. The surface morphologies of composite coatings after corrosion were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). And corrosion rate was tested using an electronic balance. The results shows that, compared with pure Ni coating, pulse current composite coating and pulse current composite coating with ultrasound, the Ni-ZrO2 nanocomposite coating prepared by pulse electrodeposition with rotating cathode in an ultrasonic field has more uniform micro-structure, more compacted grain and lower corrosion rate. Peculiarly, it exhibits excellent corrosion resistance.

The Ni-Nd2O3 nanocomposite coatings were prepared by electrodeposition under combination ultrasound field. The Nd2O3 content and surface morphology of coatings were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). And the microhardness of coatings was tested. The results showed that ultrasound power is a great influence on Nd2O3 content in coatings. The Nd2O3 content of the nanocomposite coating prepared by electrodeposition using combination ultrasound was high at 3.48%, when bath-type ultrasound power was 240W and probe-type ultrasound power was 30W. And the surface morphologies of nanocomposite coating showed better smooth surface, finer grain and more compact microstructure.

Ni-CeO2nanocomposites were electrodeposited using rotating cylindrical cathode in ultrasonic field. The surface morphologies and the CeO2contents in the nanocomposite were examined by the Scanning Electron Microscopy and the Energy Disperse Spectroscopy. The microhardness of nanocomposites were also evaluated by digital microscopical Weis Sclerometer. The effect of ultrasonic power and cathode rotating speed on the CeO2nanoparticles contents and the distribution condition of the nanocomposites were investigated. The results indicate that both the ultrasonic power and cathode rotating speed effect the microstructure and property of the nanocomposites remarkably. Prepared under the technology parameters of cathode current density 4A/dm2, cathode rotating speed 1200rpm, CeO2nanoparticles addition 40g/L and ultrasonic power 300W, the Ni-CeO2nanocomposites present refined crystal grains, compact microstructure, smooth surface morphology and high microhardness.
