Abstract
Ni-based composite solution containing nano-Al2O3 particles was prepared by high-energy mechanical and chemical processes. The microstructure and nano-particle content of nano-Al2O3/Ni composite coatings were determined by SEM, EDS and TEM. The micro mechanical properties were tested by nano-indentation technique, and the strengthening mechanism was analyzed. The results show that 85 percent of particles in the solution are dispersed in size of nano meter, nano-particles co-deposited in the coating increases by a factor of 53 percent and the structure of the composite coating is more compact and uniform than that of Ni coating. Nano-Al2O3/Ni coatings exhibit excellent micro mechanical properties, the nanohardness and Young's modulus are 7.04 GPa and 225 GPa respectively, which are attributed to finer crystals strengthening, dispersion strengthening and high- density dislocations strengthening.
