Fabrication and Corrosion Properties of Electroplated Ni-Co-Cr Alloy Coatings

Article Preview

Abstract:

The electroplated Ni-Co-Cr coatings were prepared on surface of a low carbon steel. The microstructure of the deposits were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), the corrosion resistance of the deposits was evaluated using neutral salt-spray test and polarization measurement. The results show that the deposits are a Co and Cr solid solution in Ni with a grain size of 6.9~10.6nm, were nearly free of corrosion after neutral salt-spray tested 100 hours. With chromium content increasing, the coatings exhibited higher corrosion potential and lower corrosion current, which revealed excellent corrosion resistance.
