Electrochemical characterisation of the porosity and corrosion resistance of electrochemically deposited metal coatings

Abstract: Electrochemical techniques for the assessment of porosity in electrodeposited metal coatings are reviewed. The determination of porosity and corrosion, resistance is illustrated by electrochemical data from three coating/ substrate systems namely: electroless nickel on aluminium and steel and immersed gold coatings on an electroless copper-plated ABS polymer. Nickel coatings were up to 24 μm thick while gold deposits had thickness between 75 and 190 nm. Tafel extrapolation and linear polarisation resistance me… Show more

“…Neutral chemical porosity tests were carried out to evaluate the coating porosity of the samples. An aqueous solution of red potassium prussiate was adopted as ferroxyl indicator [20,26]. The corrosive solution attacked the substrate through the pores during the test.…”

“…Adsorption of gas bubbles results in isolation of these locations from the plating bath and formation of coating defects [19][20][21]. In this study, a Cu interlayer was sandwiched by two Ni-P layers to block the holes in the coating.…”

“…The degree of corrosion of the basic material under protective coating is determined by the quantity and size of the surface defects, as well as the coating thickness 33) . The release of the Ni 2+ and Ti 4+ ions should be attributed to the pores found in disrupted surface coating 2,3) , and the variability in ion release should be attributed to greater variations in surface coating thickness and homogeneity between the specimens.…”
