Tribological properties evaluation of Ni-P coating manufactured with electroless plating on aluminum alloy substrate

Abstract

Results of tribological tests of Ni-P coating were presented in following paper. Tests were conducted with tribotester device using linear reciprocating wear test. Tribological wear test conditions, especially speed, load and sample geometry were described. Characteristics of coefficient of friction variation during wear testes were recorded. Conclusions included results interpretation especially focusing on influence of coating thickness in its properties.
