Abstract

Sports are becoming an important part of everyday life. In this study, an excellent Ni-SiC nanocomposite was prepared on the dumbbell surface using the pulse electrodeposition (PE) method to improve the durability of sports equipment and prevent sports injuries. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), abrasion testing, triboindentry, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to evaluate the impact of plating conditions upon the microhardness, microstructure, morphology, and wear behavior of the fabricated coatings. The obtained results showed that several SiC and TiN nanoparticles were incorporated into Ni/TiN-SiC nanocomposites obtained at 4 A/dm2. SiC and TiN nanoparticles had mean diameters of 37.5 and 45.6 nm, respectively. The Ni/TiN-SiC nanocomposite produced at 4 A/dm2 showed an excellent mean microhardness value of 848.5 HV, compared to the nanocomposites produced at 2 and 6 A/dm2. The rate of wear for Ni/TiN-SiC nanocomposite produced at 4 A/dm2 was 13.8 mg/min, demonstrating outstanding wearing resistance. Hence, it has been suggested that the Ni/TiN-SiC nanocomposite can effectively reduce sports injuries.

Highlights

  • Sports have become an integral element of human life

  • Nickel-based ceramic nanoparticle coating (NBCNC) exhibited a high level of slip resistance, which is advantageous in decreasing sports injuries caused by hand slipping

  • TiN nanoparticles have been used as a nanoparticles, in particular, exhibit exceptional hardness and strength, as well as good resisreinforcing phase in the fabrication of coatings with superior physical and chemical attance to corrosion and wear

Summary

Introduction

Sports have become an integral element of human life. at the same time, the number of injuries caused by sports accidents during physical activities has risen dramatically [1,2,3]. TiN nanoparticles have been used as a nanoparticles, in particular, exhibit exceptional hardness and strength, as well as good resisreinforcing phase in the fabrication of coatings with superior physical and chemical attance to corrosion and wear. Several reports deSiC nanoparticles, on the other hand, are more thermally stable, have a better slip and wear scribing the deposition of Ni-TiN, Ni-SiC, and Cu-SiC coatings using PCE and DCE proresistance, and have a high microhardness [19]. Ni/TiN-SiC nanocomposites were formed on composites’ physical and chemical properties to minimize sports injuries. Sports equipment samples using PCE deposition to improve the composites’ physical and we conducted an extensive examination to determine the effect plating parameters on chemical properties to minimize sports injuries.
