Abstract
Nanocomposite Ni–TiN coatings were prepared by ultrasonic pluse electrodeposition and the effects of ultrasonication on the coatings were studied. X-Ray diffraction analysis was utilized to detect the crystalline and amorphous characteristics of the composite coatings. The surface morphology and metallurgical structure were observed by scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopy. The results show that ultrasonication has great effects on TiN nanoparticles in composite coatings. Moreover, the introduction of ultrasonication and TiN particles led to the formation of smaller nickel grains. The average grain diameter of TiN particles was 33 nm, while Ni grains measured approximately 53 nm.
