Effect of Coating Parameters on Coating Rate of Carbon Fibers by Electroless Nickel Plating

Abstract:

The coating quality of nickel is important factor in improvement of wettability of carbon fibers to be used as reinforcing material in the production of carbon fiber reinforced metal matrix composites. In this research work, Polyacrylonitile (PAN) based carbon fibers have been Ni coated in Sodium hypophosphite reduced acidic bath by electroless plating method. These carbon fibers are coated using 4, 4.5, 5 and 5.5 pH values for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30minutes. Coating thickness is found to increase with time linearly. Nickel deposition rate per unit time increases with pH, however it reaches a maxima and then declines. The surface condition of fibers reveals that coating becomes more and more rough due to non uniform coating, as coating time and pH goes on increasing.
