“…Up to 3 A dm − 2 , the grain size was considerably affected by the current density; however, beyond this current density, effect on grain size decreased. This behaviour and finer grain size at higher peak current densities can be explained according to the electrocrystallisation equation as follows 32 where ν is the nucleation rate on the cathode surface, η is the cathodic polarisation and A and B are constants. Increment in the cathodic polarisation would result in an increase in the nucleation rate, which leads to a grain refinement in the deposited layer.…”

Nickel/multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) metal matrix composite coatings were deposited by pulse electrocodeposition method from a Watt's type electrolyte. The influence of peak current density on the particle codeposition and distribution, the surface morphology, microstructure, microhardness and wear resistance of nanocomposite coatings were studied. Copper substrates were used for electrocodeposition and MWCNTs with the diameter of 50-60 nm and length of 10 mm used as reinforcements. The electrodeposited Ni matrix coatings were characterised by scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis.
