Abstract
The use of ceramic nano-powders to create composite coatings is well known but is neither simple to industrialize nor environmentally friendly. Patented Cirrus Dopant™ technology from Cirrus Materials Science offers the performance advantages of nano-composite coatings without the implementation and process drawbacks. Cirrus Dopant™ technology is applicable to commercial baths for a large variety of electrolytic and electroless deposited coatings including Ni, Ni-P, Ni-B, Co-P, Au, Ag, Sn, and Zn-Ni. Successful application of the technology simply requires optimization of a specialized Dopant™ to the bath. This paper discusses the process and results for nano-doping commercially important coating baths.
Highlights
Coatings are typically applied to the surface of manufacture components to improve the durability of the surfaces and products by increasing their resistance to wear, corrosion, erosion, fatigue, or fracture [1]
Advance nano-composite coatings and materials have attracted a great deal of interest in surface finishing, due to their superior mechanical properties when compared to traditional coatings
Cirrus Dopant is an innovation that offers the ability to deposit a wide variety of nano-composite coatings without directly handling the nanoparticles
Summary
Coatings are typically applied to the surface of manufacture components to improve the durability of the surfaces and products by increasing their resistance to wear, corrosion, erosion, fatigue, or fracture [1]. This paper discusses the process and latest results for nano-doping in some commercially important coating baths. These nano-particles provide dispersion strengthening, and increase the number of nucleation sites which contribute to grain refinement in the coating.
