Characterization of electrodeposited Ni-SiC-Cg nanocomposite coating

▸ Ni-SiC-Cg nanocomposite coating was deposited onto the St-37 substrate by electrodeposition method. ▸ From XRD, all of the coatings show high crystallinity degree. ▸ All the samples had a typical cluster like structures with the average crystallites size of 60 nm. ▸ Mechanical properties were improved with increasing of pH values up to 4.8 (593 HV). ▸ At pH equal to 4.8, Ni-SiC-Cg nanocomposite coating with suitable characteristics has been obtained.
