Effect of rare earth addition on structure and properties of Ni-P coating on SiCp/Al composites

摘要

The aim of this work was to improve the properties of Ni-P coating on SiCp/Al composites. The effect of rare earths addition on Ni-P coating structure was investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and electrochemistry methods. The results showed that as Y or La concentration was 0.15 g/L in plating solution, the highest value of deposition rate of Ni-P coating was found. And the structure of the obtained coating was modified...
