Effect of ZrB₂ Functionalized Nanoparticles Growth on Microstructural and Corrosion Resistance on Mild Steel through Electrodeposition Route

Abstract:

In other to have a better performance of Ni-P-Zn multifunctional applications, crystallite-like Ni-P-Zn-ZrB₂ composite was actively fabricated by electrodeposition principle. The corrosion, structural evolution and surface active phenomena were investigated by various techniques. The influence of ZrB₂ particulate on the morphology and corrosion properties was examined. The outcomes show an inclusive flower-like doped ZrB₂ phase constituent and is uniformly distributed Ni-P-Zn-ZrB₂ improved strengthening effect. The corrosion progression of the developed metal alloy was compared with other coating matrix from 10-25 minutes interval. The integration of ZrB₂ on Ni-P-Zn phase especially for 25 min deposits significantly enhances corrosion resistance due to good grain refinement.
