Preparation of Ni-ZrO2-CeO2 Nanocomposite Coatings by Pulse Electrodeposition

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ni-ZrO2-CeO2 nanocomposite coatings were prepared by pulse electrodeposition. The effect additions of ZrO2 and CeO2 nanoparticles, average current density, duty ratio and frequency of pulse current on nanoparticle contents of Ni-ZrO2-CeO2 nanocomposites were studied. The surface morphologies and microhardness of different nanocomposite coatings (Ni-ZrO2, Ni-CeO2, Ni-ZrO2-CeO2) were analyzed. The results show that, with the average current density, duty ratio and frequency increased, the nanoparticle contents increased at first and then decreased. Compared with Ni-ZrO2 and Ni-CeO2, the surface morphology of Ni-ZrO2-CeO2 nanocomposite coating showed better smooth surface and more compact microstructure, the microhardness was also higher.
