Effect of Ultrasound Power on Ni-Nd₂O₃ Nanocomposite Coatings Prepared by Electrodeposition in Combination Ultrasonic Field

Abstract:

The Ni-Nd₂O₃ nanocomposite coatings were prepared by electrodeposition under combination ultrasound field. The Nd₂O₃ content and surface morphology of coatings were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). And the microhardness of coatings was tested. The results showed that ultrasound power is a great influence on Nd₂O₃ content in coatings. The Nd₂O₃ content of the nanocomposite coating prepared by electrodeposition using combination ultrasound was high at 3.48%, when bath-type ultrasound power was 240W and probe-type ultrasound power was 30W. And the surface morphologies of nanocomposite coating showed better smooth surface, finer grain and more compact microstructure.
