The Influences of Additives on the Corrosion Resistant Properties of Electroless Plating Ni-Co-P Alloy on the AZ91D Magnesium Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

To improve the anti-corrosion properties of the AZ91D magnesium alloy, the electroless plating Ni-Co-P on the AZ91D magnesium alloy is necessary. The influences of additives (ammonium fluoride (NH4F) and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA)) on deposition rate, corrosion rate, acid resistance, corrosion current, corrosion potential and webster hardness of electroless plating Ni-Co-P alloy coating, were investigated using electrochemical methods, etc. The results show that the deposition rate and corrosion resistance properties of electroless plating Ni-Co-P are obviously improved when the additives, including NH4F (2%) and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA, 1%), are added into plating solution, respectively. In addition, the global particles in the Ni-Co-P coating become smaller with the addition of NH4F by comparison with no additives and coatings are dense, uniform and defect-free.
