Abstract
Chromium-multiwalled carbon nanotubes (Cr–MWNT) composite coatings are electrodeposited from “environmentally acceptable” trivalent Cr electrolytes containing MWNTs under ultrasonic agitation. The structures, hardness and tribological behaviors are investigated using the transmission electron microscope (TEM), field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), Vickers hardness indenter, tribology tester and three-dimensional profile tester, respectively. Results show that MWNTs are dispersed evenly in Cr matrix. The introduction of MWNTs obviously improved the hardness, toughness and tribological performance of Cr coatings.
