Summary: Ni-W-SiC composite coatings with mixed nano- and micro-sized SiC particles were prepared using pulsed electrodeposition. The effects of the mixed ratios of nano- to micro-sized SiC on the microstructure, microhardness, wear and corrosion resistances of the coatings were studied. The results showed that nano-sized SiC can be incorporated into the coatings without agglomeration when carried by micro-sized SiC during the deposition process. The composite coatings with a mixture of nano- and micro-sized SiC exhibited improved wear resistance, while the coatings with the highest total SiC content showed the best corrosion resistance due to the blockage of Faradaic current by inert SiC particles. The interactions between nano- and micro-sized SiC during the deposition process were also discussed.

Summary: Fe-Ni-TiO2 nanocomposite coatings were electrodeposited by pulse frequency variation. The coatings produced at 500 Hz exhibited a dense surface and nanocrystalline structure, along with increased microhardness and surface roughness, while decreased friction coefficient and wear rate. Increasing the pulse frequency also led to higher saturation magnetization and coercivity values of the composite deposits.

Summary: To enhance the properties of nickel-based coatings, pure nickel is commonly co-electrodeposited with silicon carbide (SiC) particles. However, the aggregation and precipitation of SiC particles in the bath result in reduced amounts of nanoparticles and nonuniformity. In this study, binary non-ionic surfactants were used to disperse SiC particles effectively, leading to uniformly distributed SiC particles in the composite coatings. The coatings prepared with binary-SiC showed improved crystallization, surface smoothness, hardness (556 Hv), wear resistance (2.95 mg cm(-2)), and corrosion resistance compared to those prepared with SDS-modified SiC.

Summary: Ni-Co alloy and composite coatings were prepared by parallel magnetic field-assisted jet electro-deposition (PMAJE) and the influence of nano SiC particles on the properties of Ni-Co alloy coating was investigated. The crystal structure, micromorphology and 3D profile, microhardness, adhesion, and corrosion resistance of the coatings were analyzed. The deposition mechanism of the coatings in PMAJE was also studied. The results showed that the parallel magnetic field significantly affected the surface morphology and flatness of the coatings, and the Ni-Co-SiC composite coating exhibited improved mechanical properties and corrosion resistance compared to jet electro-deposition.

Summary: This paper describes the study of the synergism between the matrix microstructure and reinforcement phase in electrodeposited nanocomposite coatings. The addition of hard nanoparticles into the metallic matrix leads to hardening of the coating. The effects of particle load, size, and dispersion on hardening as well as their influence on metal microstructure refinement were investigated. The relative contributions of strengthening factors in Ni/nano-SiC composites were evaluated, and the production of various coatings under different conditions resulted in differences in the incorporation of particles. The results showed that particle size, dispersion, and content increased the strengthening effects as well as the hardness and wear resistance of the coatings.

Summary: Ni-SiC-BN composite coatings were electrodeposited on H13 steel with varying concentrations of SiC and BN particles. The study investigated the effects of these concentrations on the microstructure, microhardness, and corrosion resistance of the coatings. The results showed that increasing the concentration of SiC and BN particles led to finer grain size in the coatings. The highest microhardness was achieved at a particles concentration of 37.5 g/L, while the best corrosion resistance was observed at 25 g/L.

Summary: Refractory metal based alloys have great potential as structural materials for high-temperature applications due to their high melting points. However, they are prone to catastrophic oxidation at around 700 degrees C. This study investigated the effect of aluminium diffusion coatings on the oxidation resistance of pure molybdenum, niobium, tantalum, and tungsten. The results showed that the aluminization improved the oxidation behavior and decreased the oxide growth rate for molybdenum and tantalum.
