Abstract
The brush-plating method utilizes the galvanic approach to deposit surface layers onto the metallic and non-metallic substrates. One of the difficulties related to this process is the problem of layer delamination by an unfavourable residual stress state. The residual stresses play an important role in the process of surface layer deposition and during subsequent service life. This paper presents the results of the FEM analysis of residual stresses in surface layers produced by the brush-plating method. The Cu, (Cu + Al2O3), Ni, (Ni + Al2O3) materials in the form of composites and continuous layers deposited on low-carbon steel were analysed and compared.
