Abstract
ABSTRACTDuplex electroless nickel coatings constituted of one layer of nickel-phosphorous and one of nickel-boron are a promising solution to provide combined wear and corrosion resistance to parts. Duplex systems were compared to systems of similar thickness constituted of only one material, in one or two layers. Duplex coatings present intermediate surface texture, but each layer keeps its typical cross-section morphology and structural features, even after heat treatment. The interfaces between the separate layers are sharp in the as-deposited state but not as much after heat treatment. When nickel-boron is deposited first, it influences slightly the grain growth of the subsequent nickel-phosphorous layer, but no influence can be observed when nickel-phosphorous is deposited first.
