Study on the Fabrication and Properties of Ni-P Composite Coating

Abstract:

In this paper, the method of electroless deposition of nickel-phosphorous composite coating on the sample surface is employed. The effect of the complexing agent ratio on the surface morphology and phase composition of nickel-phosphorus coating when the main salt and reducing agent concentration unchanged has been studied. The influence of heat treatment on properties and microstructure of coatings are also investigated. Experimental results show that in the case of salt and reducing agent concentration unchanged, complexing agent concentration has strong effect on the morphology of the coatings and the crystal structure of the composite coating. During heat treatment, the morphology of the composite coating changed significantly, and the hardness was improved a certain degree for all the samples, which is related to the precipitation of Ni3P.
