Synthesis and characterization of Ni-Co/SiC nanocomposite coatings using sediment co-deposition technique

► Electrodeposition of the Ni-Co/SiC nanocomposite coatings by SCD technique. ► Investigating effects of current density, particle and Co concentration, agitation. ► Studying the phase composition, morphology and microhardness. ► Proposing a modification of Celis model to better describe particle incorporation. ► Explaining the hardness using nano-structural details.
