Development of electroless Ni–Zn–P/nano-TiO2 composite coatings and their properties

Development of electroless Ni–P/nano-WC composite coatings and investigation on its properties

“…As the potential increased in the positive direction, the current density of L80 started to increase quickly. As pointed out by other investigators [29], nickel can be preferentially dissolved from the Ni-P coating at a certain potential, leading to the enrichment of phosphorus on the surface layer. There are fewer defects in Ni-P…”

“…Some oxide particles such as TiO 2 , ZrO 2 , Al 2 O 3 and SiC can be used to form particles reinforced composite Ni-P coatings, improving the coating properties [16][17][18][19][20]. The duplex Ni-P-ZrO 2 /Ni-P coating was electroless deposited by Gao et al [9], and it was found that the duplex coatings have very good corrosion resistance compared with the single Ni-P coating, these also show hydrophobic properties.…”

Preparation and characterization of Ni–P–nanoTiN electroless composite coatings

“…Recently, it was found that the incorporation of finely dispersed nano solid particles into the Ni-P matrix, such as nano TiO 2 , SiC and SiO 2 praticles, achieved by adding nano particles into the plating solution as a suspension during the deposition process, can significantly improve the properties of the composite coatings, especially in wear and corrosion resistances [14][15][16][17]. Owing to the superiority of both nano particles and Ni-P matrix, Ni-P electroless nano composite coatings are becoming the focus of widespread research.…”

Effect of surfactants on the coating properties and corrosion behaviour of Ni–P–nano-TiO2 coatings

“…Studies reveal that incorporation of TiO 2 particles resulted in enhanced wear A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 3 and corrosion resistances and also other properties such as electrocatalysis and photocatalysis [8][9][10][11][12]. The improved electrocatalytic activity can be used for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and it is applied as a catalytic support, reinforcement and inert filler [13].…”
