Abstract:

In this study, different amounts of MoS2 particles and an anionic surfactant were added to the conventional chromium electroplating bath in order to electrodeposite crack-free chromium coatings and the structure, morphology, tribology and corrosion behavior of the deposited coatings were investigated using X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, pin on disk wear test method, dynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques, respectively. The results showed that the incorporation of MoS2 particle into the electrodeposited Cr coatings is impossible and no chromium coating can be electroplated from baths containing more than 5 g/L MoS2 particles. In addition, as the MoS2 concentration in the bath increases up to 1 g/L the corrosion and wear resistance of the deposited coatings increases. Moreover, those coatings that were electroplated from the baths containing more than 1 g/L exhibited less performance regarding their corrosion and wear behavior.

Element free Galerkin method for crack analysis of orthotropic plates

A new approach for analyzing cracked problems in 2D orthotropic materials using the well-known element free Galerkin method and orthotropic enrichment functions is proposed. The element free Galerkin method is a meshfree method which enables discontinuous problems to be modeled efficiently. In this study, element free Galerkin is extrinsically enriched by the recently developed crack-tip orthot...

Using Taguchi Experimental Design Method for Obtaining Suitable Thickness in Decora-tive Chromium Electroplating

In this study, Taguchi experimental design has been used for the optimization of thickness of chromium layers. For this purpose brass materials have been electroplated under various conditions of the process. An orthogonal array (OA) was employed to analyze the effect of plating parameters on the characteristic of the thickness. Variables which were considered for working were as following; amo...

Preliminary Assessment of Chromium Emissions from Chromium Electroplating Faci Lities

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to add either chromium or hexavalent chromium to the list of hazardous air pollutants under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act. A preliminary assessment performed by EPA has identified several categories of stationary sources as emitters of significant quantities of chromium to the atmosphere and for which the proposal o f national e...

Crack Analysis, Using a New Coupled FE-EFG Method

To solve crack problems, some coupled methods have been developed in recent years. Most of these methods have some shortcomings such as the need for a transition region. The finite element and enriched element free Galerkin methods are widely used for this class of problems. In order to take the advantages of these methods while avoiding the disadvantages, it is essential to follow solution app...
