Abstract
The current work is conducting an experimental investigation into the effect of those technical parameters, called nanomaterial, bath temperature and plating time on the micro-hardness and corrosion rate of electroless plated low carbon steel undergoing electroless deposition operation. It was used to prepare (Ni-P/ Nano TiO2), (Ni-P/ Nano Al2O3) and (Ni -P/ Nano SiO2) alloys in this research. The Taguchi design is used to describe the variations located within the corrosion and mechanical properties. To achieve a comprehensive study, a Taguchi-based design was used to account for all applicable combinations of factors. Experimental models had been advanced that linking the response and method parameters to the results of those experiments. Validation of these models is done using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The desirability function is used to simultaneously optimize all the response. Finally, the optimum combination of method parameters resulting (bath temperature=90 oC, plating time =120 min. and Nanomaterial=(Al2O3)), nanomaterial was observed to be the major process parameter on the responses of the electroless-plated low carbon steel with an impact ratio of (47%) based on the (ANOVA) results.
Highlights
Corrosion is the damage to metals because of their interaction with a corrosive agent in their environment, like chlorine, fluorine, carbon dioxide, oxygen, etc
Corrosion may be avoided through surface modifications; this is obtained through utilizing physical barriers which includes films and coatings to decrease cracks
Nanomaterials are promising in reducing the corrosion rate of the metal substrates through surface modification with coating
Summary
Corrosion is the damage to metals because of their interaction with a corrosive agent in their environment, like chlorine, fluorine, carbon dioxide, oxygen, etc. One of the most important factors in electroless technique is the content and characteristics of the bath solutions The influence of those conditions on numerous substrates that have a high major effect at the deposition rate, structure of chemical composition and coating film quality were extensively studied in the past [5,6]. It has been utilized as an additive in electroless (Ni-P) plating, due to recent advances in nanoparticle technology and their fields of application [7]. The aim of this research is to improve the corrosion and mechanical properties of the low carbon steel substrate by electroless coating with (Ni-P-TiO2), (NiP- Al2O3) and (Ni-P- SiO2) Nano coating and find the optimal coating conditions for the proper hardness and corrosion by Taguchi method
