    Electrochemical and Mechanical characterization of Ni/SiC composite coatings electrodeposited on steel
    (University of Eloued جامعة الوادي, 2018-12-10) Ghelani, L.; Boulahrouz, S.; Naoun, M.; Aissani, L
    In this study, the structure (Ni/SiC) composite and pure nickel coatings were prepared by electroplating deposition on steel in a Watts bath of electroplating chloride, consisting of an electrolytic nickel matrix (binder) with and without adding silicon carbide micro particles (SiC) (mean diameter 0.8 m) which a high hardness and a good chemical stability. The coating analysis is performed by atomic force microscopy (AFM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The characterizations of the deposited layers are carried out in 3.5% NaCl solution. The weight loss and the polarization results highlighted a silicon carbide concentration which can be included in the overall expression of a good composite coating. Moreover, the incorporation of the micro particles had a significant impact on the micro hardness of the composite deposits (Ni / SiC).
