Estimation of microhardness and crystal grain size values of electrodeposited Ni-B/TiC nanocomposite coatings by artificial neural networks (ANN) method

Electrodeposited carbon nanostructured nickel composite coatings: A review

“…This can be related to the antagonistic nature of the cationic surface of CNTs (due to CTAB), which weakens the strengthening mechanism of the Ni-CNT composite, and the anionic surface of CNTs (arrives from SDS), which increases adhesion by Ni 2+ ions. Moreover, enhancing the Ni-B alloy structure by reinforcing it with TiC particles and electrodepositing it onto AISI 304 stainless steel was studied by Ersin et al [ 76 ]. AISI 304, which is widely used throughout the globe, was chosen for its low cost, mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and weldability.…”

“…AISI 304, which is widely used throughout the globe, was chosen for its low cost, mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and weldability. The research effort investigates how TiC particle and trimethylamine borane (TMAB) bath concentration, as well as current density during electrodeposition, influence Ni-B/TiC nanocomposite coating [ 76 ]. Additionally, it was observed that nanocrystalline Ni-tungsten (W) coatings, with their better hardness, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability, may be able to substitute hexavalent hard chrome [ 77 ].…”
