Exploration of the Corrosion Behavior of Electroless Plated Ni-P Amorphous Alloys via X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

A Ni-P amorphous alloy was deposited on a low carbon steel substrate via electroless plating. Further, the prepared samples were crystallized under the high temperature with a range from 200 °C to 500 °C in air for 1 h. The crystallization process was studied via XRD, AFM, and XPS, and anodic electr...

description A Ni-P amorphous alloy was deposited on a low carbon steel substrate via electroless plating. Further, the prepared samples were crystallized under the high temperature with a range from 200 °C to 500 °C in air for 1 h. The crystallization process was studied via XRD, AFM, and XPS, and anodic electrochemical behavior was investigated by potentiostatic methods in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. The experimental results indicate that the diffusion, dissolution, and enrichment of the component elements in the Ni-P alloy are essential during crystallization because the various corrosion behaviors corresponding to Ni and P are directly affected. More importantly, under the 400 °C treatment, H<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>2<sup>−</sup></sub> was enriched in the alloy, which effectively hinders the anodic dissolution of nickel and forms a complete adsorption layer on the surface of the alloy. Our results demonstrate that P can effectively block the anodic dissolution of Ni during the corrosion process, and the crystallization process can effectively promote the surface enrichment of P to improve the corrosion resistance of the coating.
