| description | Ni–Al–Ti nanocomposite coatings were synthesized by electrodeposition. The tailoring role of Al and Ti particles in the co-deposition behaviors of nanocomposite coatings was comprehensively investigated by analyzing the time-dependent current density and electric field near the co-deposited particles. The results showed that the Al and Ti particles caused different co-deposition behaviors of Ni deposits, consequently bringing in the gradual increase in the surface dendritic structure, the refinement of grain sizes, and the decrease in the [200] fiber texture of the nanocomposite coatings with the decrease in the Al/Ti weight ratio. COMSOL simulations verified the different co-deposition mechanisms of Ni grains near the two kinds of particles, which was vitally determined by the different conditions of current density and electric field near the particles. The micro-hardness results revealed that the decreased Al/Ti weight ratio led to enhanced micro-hardness of the nanocomposite coating; in addition, the maximum hardness of the nanocomposite coating was 604.3 HV0.2 for an Al/Ti weight ratio of 1:4. Thus, the time-dependent current density and electric field near co-deposited Al and Ti particles determined the microstructure and property of the Ni–Al–Ti nanocomposite coatings. |
