Electroless Nickel–Phosphorus (Ni-P) coating is recognized mostly for its outstanding corrosion and wear-resistant behavior. The intrinsic corrosion and wear-resistant properties of Ni-P-based coating could be further upgraded by incorporating appropriate second-phase additive particles into the coating matrix. However, such properties of the Ni-P-based coating greatly rely on the surface and microstructural evolution arising with the co-deposition of the additive particles. In this study, submicron Si3N4 (average size ~200 nm) and nano Si3N4 (average size ~20 nm) particles were incorporated while depositing a Ni-P alloy in a low-carbon steel substrate to develop the Ni-P-Si3N4 composites through the electroless coating method. The 20 nm Si3N4-incorporated composite coating constituted fewer defects such as cavities and micropores on the surface, but such defects significantly appeared on the surface of the composite after the incorporation of 200 nm Si3N4 nanoparticles. Subsequently, the composite Ni-P-Si3N4, developed with the co-deposition of 20 nm nanoparticles, is enriched with enhanced anticorrosion characteristics compared with the composite developed with 200 nm nanoparticles. The enhancement of anticorrosion behavior was attributed mainly to the Si3N4 nanoparticles that covered the substantial volume of the coating and led to inhibit the formation of corrosion active sites such as defects and metallic Ni phase.

The second phase particle in steel can refine crystal grain and improve performance of steel products. In the paper, how Sm2O3 particle affecting on inclusion and crystal grain size of steel product was studied by adding Sm2O3 particle into steel. The result shows the Sm2O3 particle will not agglomerate and the content of inclusion in steel will not increase when the particle size is lower than 1.47μm while the content of inclusion will increase obviously when the size is higher than 3.41μm. The Sm2O3 particle can combine with sulfide inclusion and deoxided product, which has the same function as adding rare earth alloy into steel partially. So the Sm2O3 particle can refine the size of crystal grain of cast structure. The degree of crystal grain was reduced from level 2 to level 4-4.5 and the average size of crystal grain was reduced from 180μm to 90-75μm. And it can also reduce the size of crystal grain of rolled structure. The degree was reduced from level 6.5 to level 11 and it will decrease with increasing of adding content of Sm2O3 particle. The best economic and technical norms can be got when the l size of Sm2O3 particle is 1.47μm and the adding content is 0.5% of the content of metal.

In this paper, a low carbon steel was used as the substrate to prepare the carbon nanostructural materials by the oxygen-acetylene flame method. The experimental results show that the composite products including nodular carbon nanoparticles and amorphous carbon were obtained on the substrate after a mechanical polishing pretreatment. Comparatively, the short tubular carbon nanofibers with the diameter of around 100 nm were deposited on the substrate pretreated by dipping in the concentrated nitric acid solution. The possible mechanism for the growth of such carbon nanofibers was discussed.

Powder spray coating was used for many applications such as paint decoration and protection against corrosive environments. The electrostatic spray method is used to lower the manufacturing cost and the environmental effect during the production process. It is done by electrostatic device and spray gun to create a layer on the substrate to play a protective role. Different dry powders were mixed to form a composite mixture consisted of Al2O3 and SiC or ZrSiO4 with Al powder as a binder. The powders mixture was deposited by electrostatic spray technique with a high voltage of 15 kV on a low carbon steel substrate of (40 x 10 x 4) mm in dimensions. Two groups of mixtures were used to form the coating layers. Powders of Al2O3 with (20 and 40) weight percent (wt%) of SiC as the first group and (20 and 40) wt% of ZrSiO4 as the second group were used. 5 wt% of Al powder was added as a binder, and the samples were heat treated at 900 C° for 2 hours. A detailed characterization of the composite coating layers was performed using XRD, SEM, and EDX, as well as, micro-hardness measurements. The obtained surface composite layers were smooth and having good particle distribution which leads to enhance roughness values (Ra). Furthermore, the hardness increased with increasing the amount of carbide and zirconia, and the obtained layers show no presence of defects or cracks.

through super-hard wear-resistant surface electrode surfacing D707 in Low-carbon steel. We have analysis the effect of welding process parameters and post-weld heat treatment process on low carbon steel surface hardness of cladding layer. The experimental results show that: after quenching hardness value no significant change; But after annealing the hardness value decreased and after annealing the crystal grain of the underlying tissues uniformization become tiny. micro-hardness testing is carried out in the weld cross-section, we have find out that from the base metal to the cladding layer the surface hardness values is getting higher and higher, while the indentation is getting smaller and smaller. Because hardness is a measure of wear resistance materials, thus it can indirectly show that when low-carbon steel surface electrode in the super-hard wear-resistant surfacing welding layer, it can improve the surface hardness of low carbon steel and improve wear resistance of low carbon steel surface.

The Microstructure of AnnealedGalfanCoating on Steel SubstrateThe commercially availableGalfancoating containing 5-7wt.% of Al deposited on the low carbon steel substrate by hot dipping has been examined with respect to the microstructure of the coating/substrate interface area. The application of several experimental techniques (SEM/EDS, XRD, TEM/AEM/EDS/ED) allowed demonstrating the two-phase structure of the alloy coating in non-treated, commercially availableGalfansamples: Zn-rich pre-eutectoidηphase grains are surrounded by lamellar eutectics ofβ-Al andη-Zn. The transition layer between the alloy coating and steel substrate with the considerably higher Al content (SEM/EDS, TEM/EDS) has been found in both non-treated and annealed samples (600°C/5 minutes). Only the monoclinic FeAl3Znxphase however was revealed in the annealed sample (TEM/electron diffraction) remaining uncertain the presence of the orthorhombic Fe2Al5Znxphase, reported by several authors.

Cobalt–graphene nanocomposite coatings possess unique mechanical and tribological properties which attract researchers to explore its potential for various industrial applications. This research work presents the investigation on cobalt–graphene nanocomposite coatings, with two different graphene compositions cobalt–graphene (0.15 and 0.45 wt%) prepared by pulsed electrodeposition from aqueous bath involving cobalt chloride, trisodium citrate, and citric acid on low carbon steel substrate. Studies on coating morphology, microhardness, tribological characteristics such as wear and corrosion for the cobalt–graphene nanocomposite coatings were reported. Cobalt–graphene (0.45 wt%) nanocomposite coating which exhibits low wear rate in all load conditions due to the self-lubricating property of graphene and cobalt–graphene (0.15 wt%) nanocomposite coating shows higher corrosion resistance due to its layered cauliflower surface morphology.
