The Study of Electroless Ni-B Coating on 45 Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to improve the corrosion resistance and the hardness of the 45 steel, under comparison tests, the electroless Ni-B was prepared on the 45 steel. We made a contrast test to get the optimal formula. The coating under the optimal formula was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectrometer(EDS), metallurgical microscope and salt spray cabinet. The experimental results showed that the electroless Ni-B coating on 45 steel was low boron coating, with high hardness, and the hardness of the coating could catch HV524; the thickness of the coating was 16μm.
