Friction and Wear of Electroless Ni-P-CS Composite Coating

Carbon nanoparticles have excellent lubricating properties, however, they are less involved in metal protection. In this study, easily prepared candle soot was added to electroless nickel-phosphorus plating as a re-enforcement particle. Ball-disc friction and wear tests were conducted to evaluate th...

description Carbon nanoparticles have excellent lubricating properties, however, they are less involved in metal protection. In this study, easily prepared candle soot was added to electroless nickel-phosphorus plating as a re-enforcement particle. Ball-disc friction and wear tests were conducted to evaluate the wear-resistance capabilities of the electroless Ni-P coating and Ni-P-CS (Candle Soot) composite coatings. The parameters for the friction coefficient, wear amount, and friction morphology of the Ni-P-CS composite coatings were studied after being heat-treated (300 °C, 400 °C, 500 °C, and 600 °C). The surface morphology and phase composition of the Ni-P-CS composite coatings after thermal treatment at various temperatures were also investigated. The results are as follows: heat treatment strengthens the local hardness of the Ni-P-CS composite coating but does not further enhance wear resistance. Compared with the Ni-P coating and the heat-treated Ni-P-CS composite coating, the Ni-P-CS composite coatings without heat treatment have a lower friction coefficient (0.35) and better wear resistance.
