High-performance multi-response optimization of new nanocomposite coating formulation of zinc reinforced with calcium oxide nanoparticle synthesis from oyster shell via one-step electrodeposition approach

Understanding the multifaceted incorporation of a Zn-maize cob nanoparticle composite coating of mild steel: anti-wear, anti-corrosion, and oxidation resistance

“…The uniform coating was caused by grain refining and a reduction in the nucleation density. The observation is in line with the work of Adams et al 21 which reported using oyster shell as a coating material results in few surface defects, smaller crystallites, and a compact and dense deposit. Utilizing an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), the SEM pictures were analyzed ( Fig.…”

“…The sample that has been coated showed the most reduction in wear. Adams et al 21 provided support for the lower wear rate found, stating that the low wear rate, which results in high Si atom in the coated sample help to lubricant the surface during sliding.…”
