Abstract
Wear characteristics of the transition metal composite (TMC) coated mild steel are investigated. TMC coatings were performed using electrodeposition technique on mild steel. Different concentrations of transition metals were subjected to prepare the TMC’s and studied. The structural and the micro structural studies of the composites coatings were studied through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The elemental compositions of coated composites were evaluated using Energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDS) studies. Both the structural and micro structural characterizations confirmed the formation of composite coatings. Further, it is evident from the EDS analyses that TMC’s are coated with the desired concentrations. In order to understand the wear resistance of coated mild steel, the specimen were subjected to load on pin-on-disc type wear tester. The effects of concentration of composite and thickness of the coating on wear resistance are discussed. The coating results in improving the wear resistance and hardness of the specimen
