Ni–B coatings have been deposited directly on commercial purity magnesium and evaluated by means of sliding wear and friction testing. The nickel and boron are distributed throughout the whole thickness of the coating. Parametric optimization has been carried out using the design of experiment based on Taguchi analysis. The friction coefficients of the coatings vary between 0.01 and 0.3, depending on the evaluated conditions. The lowest wear rate of the coating was 0.19 × 10−5 mm3 N−1 m−1. Wear and friction coefficient maps of Ni–B electroless coatings formed on magnesium surfaces are reported. Nanoparticles present in the lubricating fluid act as a third wear body increasing the wear of the electroless coating

Using an are-discharge method, we deposited a diamond-like carbon film 600 nm thick on hardened steel. Characterization of the film was carried out with Raman spectroscopy. In dry sliding wear and friction tests, with a hardened steel pin as a counterpart, we obtained a friction coefficient between 10000 and 20000 cycles, with the maximum value of 0.18. The value decreased to 0.12 after about 100000 cycles. We obtained a wear coefficient of 7 × 10−17 m3/mN. A transfer layer formed on the pin during sliding and probably had the dominating effect on the tribological behavior. We observed in nanoindentation measurements that the film softened in a wear track during the first 20000 cycles. Although fracture pits on the wear track occurred, fracture is not the dominant failure mechanism of these films. Degradation of good tribological properties was caused mainly by partial wear-through of the film after 370000 cycles and by a subsequent redeposition of the transfer film on the wear track during prolonged sliding.

Abstract The specimens, magnetic properties materials, and microwave characteristics of Ni coated Fe and Co composites were researched by specimens produced by microwave furnace sintering at 1100°C temperature. A uniform nickel deposit on Fe-Co particles was coated previously to sintering by electroless coating deposition procedure. A composite consisting of quaternary additions, a metallic phase, Fe-Co inside of Ni matrix has been prepared under in a neutral atmosphere environment then microwave sintered. X-Ray Diffraction, SEM(Scanning-Electron-Microscope), Empedans Phase Analyzer were utilized to obtain structural data and to determine magnetic and electrical features such as dielectric and conductivity at the temperature range of 25-400C. The ferromagnetic resonance varied from 10 Hz to 1GHz and measurements were employed to characterize the features of the specimens. Empirical of findings obtained for the composition (Fe-%25Co)50Ni at 1100°C recommend that the best conductivity and hardness were obtained with 50Ni addition at a sintering temperature of 1100°C.

The structural, mechanical and tribological properties of ZA-27/SiC nanocomposites were investigated at micro/nanoscale. The nanocomposites with different volume fractions of nano-sized SiC particles were produced using the compocasting technique. The microstructure of nanocomposites was characterized with formation of SiC nano agglomerates, which were relatively uniformly distributed. The increase in SiC content contributed to the uniformity of their distribution. Also, the phenomenon of particle segregation in the form of particle-rich clusters, as well as particle-porosity clusters, was identified. The density level of composites decreased with the increase of the SiC content. The porosity followed a reverse trend. The tendency for formation of local particle-porosity clusters was the highest in ZA-27/1% SiC nanocomposite, causing the highest level of porosity. Increasing percentage of SiC content was followed by the increase in micro/nanohardness of the composites. The results of micro/nanoscale tribotests revealed that the reinforcing with SiC nanoparticles significantly improved wear and friction behavior of ZA-27 matrix alloy. The rate of improvement increased with the increase of SiC nanoparticle content, load, and sliding speed. The highest degree of changes corresponded to the change of the SiC nanoparticle content from 0 to 1 wt%. The further decrease of wear with SiC content (from 1 to 5 wt%) was almost linear. The different tribological behavior of tested ZA-27 matrix and ZA-27/SiC nanocomposites was influenced by differences of intensity of adhesion resulted in transferred layers of matrix material onto worn surfaces of Al2O3 ball counterpart. The intensity of adhesion significantly decreased with the increase of SiC nanoparticle content.

The development of electroless coatings on various substrates has gained much interest among researchers for the sake of improved properties. However, the coating on ceramic particles as a source of reinforcement is still a challenge for the researchers and requires a good comprehension of fundamentals since the coating thickness relies upon many parameters. Particularly the sensitization and activation conditions are more important for the creation of an ideal environment to draw metallic ions as a coating layer. Therefore, this paper examines the role of sensitization and activation conditions on the viability of nickel coating on the alumina particles of an average size of 50 nm. A comparison is made between two environments, namely individual and blended activations in the preparation of coated particles. Characterization studies are also presented to support the discussion.
