Abstract

Ni–Co nanocystalline coatings were electrodeposited from a modified Watts bath. Increasing the deposition current density had no significant effect on structure, corrosion and tribocorrosion behavior of the coatings. Adding saccharin into the bath reduced the grain size, increased the hardness, changed the texture component from (2 0 0) to (1 1 1), smoothed the surface morphology, increased the corrosion resistance and improved the tribocorrosion behavior of coating. Presence of sodium lauryl sulfate in the bath increased the corrosion resistance of coating by producing a more compact surface morphology. However, the coating showed low tribocorrosion resistance, probably due to its lower hardness.
