INVESTIGATION SOME PROPERTIES OF (ZN-NI-SIC) COMPOSITES COATING ON LOW CARBON STEEL

Abstract

This work represents an attempt to introduce further improvement on the properties of these coatings, although the (Zn-Ni) deposition is known to be an anomalous electrodeposited process , where added Ceramic materials is (silicon carbide) ,with very good mechanical properties. Carbon steel samples were coated with (Zn-Ni) and (Zn-Ni-SiC) particles with different particles size of silicon carbide once microscale (73μm) and another nanoscale (70-100nm) .After electroplating, these samples were analyzed by X-ray fluorescent to confirm all the content for each alloy.
