| Abstract Scope |
Corrosion is the main cause for material deterioration and failure in oil and gas industry. Nickel phosphorus-based coatings are proven to be corrosion resistant but lack the mechanical strength. Incorporating second phase elements in the Ni-P matrix to improve its properties are extensively researched around the globe. In this study, hard and inert zirconium carbide nanoparticles (ZCNPs) are deposited in Ni-P matrix through electrodeposition process from Watts bath to obtain nanocomposite coatings. XRD proves the amorphous structure of nanocomposite coating. XPS and EDS confirms the presence of ZCNPs in the Ni-P matrix. Addition of ZCNPs has major impact on mechanical and corrosion resistant of Ni-P matrix which can be attributed to dispersion hardening and reduction in the active region for corrosion initiation. Ni-P-ZrC nanocomposite coatings offer a very promising alternative for the use of different kinds of application in aerospace, automotive, oil & gas industries. |
