Electroless nickel-boron coating (often called NiB coating) is a metal plating process that can create a layer of a nickel-boron alloy on the surface of a solid substrate, like metal or plastic. The process involves dipping the substrate in a water solution containing nickel salt and a boron-containing reducing agent , such as an ...
Electroless nickel-phosphorus coatings with less than 7% phosphorus are solid solutions with a microcrystalline structure, with each grain 2–6 nm across. Coatings with more than 10% phosphorus are amorphous. Between these two limits, the coating is a mixture of amorphous and microcrystalline materials. [16]
Nickel electroplating is a process of depositing nickel onto a metal part. Parts to be plated must be clean and free of dirt, corrosion, and defects before plating can begin. [ 3 ] To clean and protect the part during the plating process, a combination of heat treating , cleaning, masking, pickling , and etching may be used. [ 1 ]
Elastic properties describe the reversible deformation (elastic response) of a material to an applied stress.They are a subset of the material properties that provide a quantitative description of the characteristics of a material, like its strength.
Boriding, also called boronizing, is the process by which boron is added to a metal or alloy.It is a type of surface hardening.In this process boron atoms are diffused into the surface of a metal component.
Nikasil is short for nickel silicon carbide. Silicon carbide is a very hard ceramic (much harder than steel) that can be dissolved in nickel. The nickel silicon carbide solution can then be electroplated onto the aluminium cylinder bore. After the cylinders are plated, the Nikasil bores are diamond-honed to a plateau finish.
Dinickel boride is a chemical compound of nickel and boron with formula Ni 2 B. [1] [2] It is one of the borides of nickel.The formula "Ni2 B" and the name "nickel boride" are often used for a nickel-boron catalyst obtained by reacting nickel salts with sodium borohydride.
Detonation spraying produces coatings of very high chemical bond strength and hardness. Coatings are of low porosity, oxygen content and have a low to medium surface roughness. This is achieved due to the extremely high temperatures and velocities produced by the detonation gun during surface coating application. [6]
