Abstract
Ni-P alloy and SiC micron particles were codeposited on Q235 steel by electroless plating. The composition, microstructure, micro-hardness, corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance of the composite coating were studied. The results revealed that the deposited composite coating shows dispersed SiC particles and continuous Ni-P matrix. When the content of SiC was 8g/L and the heat treatment temperature was 300°C, the corrosion potential and corrosion current of Ni-P-SiC coating were-0.292V, and 8.2×10-7 A/cm2, respectively, while those of Ni-P composite coating were-0.501V, and 4.2×10-5 A/cm2, respectively. Ni-P-SiC composite coating with high content of SiC exhibits better oxidation resistance than Ni-P coating.
