HARDNESS STUDY OF THE PULSE ELECTRODEPOSITED NANOSCALE MULTILAYERS OF CR-NI
Preview AbstractNanoscale multilayers of Cr-Ni coatings were deposited on low carbon steel by pulse electroplating and agitation modulation in chromium (III)-nickel (II) bath. The coatings were characterized by using SEM, EDS, XRD and microhardness techniques. For hardness measurement, the total thickness of the coatings was fixed at 5 μm and the thickness of the monolayers in the coatings varied from 20 to 100 nm. Single chromium and single nickel coatings with similar thickness of 5 μm were also produced by using DC electroplating. Microhardness testing was carried out on the surface of the coatings by using a range of loads from 25 to 1000 gf. A composite hardness model was used to estimate and compare the hardness of the single and multilayer coatings. It was shown that multilayer deposition significantly increases the hardness of the coating and the hardness increases further as the thickness of the nano- monolayers is reduced.
