Abstract
Ni-W-ZrO2 composite coating was prepared on N80 steel plate by composite electrodeposition in the Ni-W bath with ZrO2 nanoparticles. The microstructure of the coating was observed by scanning electron microscopy, and the micro-hardness of the coating was measured as well. The results showed that the optimum working current density of composite electrodeposition was 1.5A/dm2. Lower current density will cause the nonuniform coating, and higher current density will cause the coating to crack. The addition of ZrO2 nanoparticles in the composite coating significantly improved the micro-hardness of the coating. When the concentration of ZrO2 nanoparticles in the bath was 10 g/L, the surface of the composite coating was more compact and the micro-hardness was higher.
