Abstract

The ability to co-deposit particulate matter in a matrix of electroless nickel has led to a new generation of composite coatings. Polycrystalline diamond is one of the many varieties of particulate matter that can be co-deposited. Composite diamond coating is a regenerative layer of fine diamond particles dispersed in a hard electroless nickel matrix. In this work, experiments have been carried out to study the effect of heat treatment, particle size and phosphorus content on the wear characteristics of the composite electroless coating containing diamond particles. The results indicate substantial increase in wear resistance after the coated sample containing 9–10 wt.%. P content having fine diamond particle size is annealed around 350°C.
