Mechanical properties of reticulated aluminum foams with electrodeposited Ni–W coatings
نویسندگان
چکیده
The struts of reticulated aluminum foams were coated with nanocrystalline Ni–W by electrodeposition. The thickness and composition of these high-strength coatings are controlled by varying the bath chemistry, applied current conditions and deposition time. Despite an increase in density as compared to the uncoated foams, the coated foams exhibit improvements in both absolute and specific strength, as well as in absolute energy absorption. 2008 Acta Materialia Inc.

Wear behavior of carbon steel electrodeposited by nanocrystalline Ni–W coating
Ni-W coatings, compared to pure nanocrystalline Ni, exhibit higher hardness and wear resistance. In some cases, these coatings are considered as environmental friendly alternatives for hard chromium coating. Till now, most of Ni-W coatings have been produced by direct current electrodeposition from alkaline baths. In this study square pulse current was used for deposition of Ni-W precipitates f...
متن کاملCompressive Properties of Open-Cell Al Hybrid Foams at Different Temperatures
Hybrid Ni/Al foams were fabricated by depositing electroless Ni-P (EN) coatings on open-cell Al foam substrate to obtain enhanced mechanical properties. The microstructure, chemical components and phases of the hybrid foams were observed and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The mechanical proper...

Reticulated nickel foams were alloyed with 8–9 wt% Al or 14–18 wt% Cr and 5–9 wt% Al in a three-step method consisting of (i) gas-phase deposition of Cr and/or Al onto the struts of a pure Ni foam by pack-cementation at 1000 C; (ii) homogenization at 1200 C to remove concentration gradients and to solutionize the alloyed struts; (iii) aging at 900 C to form c0 precipitates within the struts. Th...

متن کاملEffect of non-acoustic properties on the sound absorption of polyurethane foams
In this paper the influence of non-acoustic properties on the sound absorption coefficient of polyurethane foams as a porous medium is investigated. Biot’s equations with transfer matrix method, as the solution approach are employed to evaluate the sound absorption coefficient of selected polyurethane foams. The major issue is the dependency of non-acoustic properties on each other which makes ...
