Abstract
In the present work, Zn-ZrO2nanocomposite coatings were deposited on the copper substrate through DC and pulse electrodeposition technique with low current density (10 mA/cm2). The effect addition of ZrO2nanoparticles and pulse current were studied. The surface morphology, microhardness and erosion resistance of Zn-ZrO2nanocomposite coating were evaluated. The result shows that, with the addition of ZrO2particles, the surface morphology of Zn-ZrO2nanocomposite coating was smoother. Phase identification by XRD confirm that Zn layer had been sucessfully deposited. The presence of ZrO2nanoparticles was not detected. Compared to DC, pulsed current electrodeposition technique showed higher cathodic efficiency, better microhardness and good erosion resistance.
