Abstract
In this study, the effects of SiO2 nanoparticles added to the electroless Ni-P coating were studied. The surface morphology, corrosion behavior, hardness and porosity of Ni-P-SiO2composite were investigated. The related microstructure was investigated through field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and the amount of SiO2 was examined by Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-ray (EDX). The corrosion behavior was evaluated through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and polarization techniques. The results illustrated that with increasing the quantity of the SiO2 nanoparticles, the corrosion rate decreased and the hardness increased.
