通过电化学共沉积在瓦特镀液中制备了含有纳米/微米SiC颗粒的Ni基复合涂层,然后对其力学和防腐性能进行了评估。显微观察发现,不同尺寸的SiC颗粒均能很好地与Ni基体结合。X射线衍射(XRD)结果表明,尺寸较小的SiC颗粒减弱了Ni沿(200)晶面的优先生长。此外,引入中微米(8 μm和1.5 μm) SiC颗粒可显著提高Ni复合镀层的显微硬度。电化学测试表明,微米SiC颗粒会降低Ni复合涂层的耐蚀性,这主要是由于微米SiC颗粒引起的结构缺陷所致。纳米SiC (50 nm)颗粒与中微米(1.5 μm)颗粒的结合可提高复合涂层的致密性,有利于涂层的长期耐腐蚀性能,但显微硬度损失可忽略不计。
Ni-based composite coatings incorporated with nano/micron SiC particles were fabricated via electrochemical co-deposition in Watts bath, followed by the evaluation of their mechanical and anti-corrosion properties. The micrographic observations suggest that the SiC particles with various sizes can be well incorporated to the Ni substrate. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns indicate that SiC particles with smaller sizes could weaken the preferential growth of Ni along (200) facet. In addition, it is found that the incorporated SiC particles with medium micron sizes (8 and 1.5 μm) could significantly enhance the micro-hardness of the Ni composite coatings. Nevertheless, electrochemical measurements demonstrate that micron-sized SiC particles would weaken the corrosion resistance of Ni composite coatings ascribed to the structure defects induced. In contrast, the combined incorporation of nanosized (50 nm) SiC particles with medium micron (1.5 μm) ones is capable of promoting the compactness of the composite coatings, which is beneficial to the long-term corrosion resistance with negligible micro-hardness loss.
