Nickel coating catalyzed aluminum nitride formation, accelerating burn rate more than other coatings in air and in nitrogen, while complex fluoride coating was most effective in carbon dioxide.
Nickel coating was finally removed using dilute HCl (1 M, 2 h).
Moreover, the nickel coating displays low sheet resistance of ca. 1 Ω sq−1.
The friction coefficient of nano-composite coating is smaller compared with pure nickel coating.
Pure nickel coating was also prepared for comparative study.
This implies that electroless nickel coating is not feasible in juice medium as substation of St 37.2 steel.
The nature of electroplating industry selected for this study is involved in nickel coating and chrome plating for auto components.
In this study, tribological behavior of the nano nickel coating developed through pulsed electro deposition technique has been investigated.
Technology advancement in surface engineering ensures the minimum surface wear with the introduction of polycrystalline nano nickel coating.
Following the initial gluing method of Dai et al. [17], individual MWCNT are fused on Si tips sputtered with Nickel coating [18].
The results show that the percentage of copper and nickel in the deposited layer, respectively, decreases and increases after nickel coating on the copper-plated fabric.
