FEASIBILITY OF PRODUCING NANO STRUCTURED METALLIC AND NON-METALLIC COATINGS ON Al SUBSTRATE USING MECHANICAL COATING ROUTE
Authors
Abstract:
In this paper, the possibility of mechanical coating of aluminum with either Ni or SiC using planetary ball mill was studied. The Al substrate was fixed inside of the vial lid of a planetary ball mill filled with milling balls and starting powder. The phase analysis and crystallite size measurement of the coatings were carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD) method. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was employed to study the coating/substrate interface and coating thickness. Hardness and wear resistance of coatings were also measured. The results indicated that all coatings have relatively uniform thickness. SiC coating shows poor compaction and adhesion to the Al, while nanostructured Ni coating is well-bonded to the substrate. Moreover, Ni coating showed higher hardness and wear resistance compared to SiC coating. It was found that the balls collision will result in the grain refinement of the coating as well as Al substrate. Mechanically deposited Ni coating shows higher hardness value compared to those obtained by conventional methods. This has been related to the induced grain refinement phenomenon.

Coating of Polymeric Substrate Catalysts on Metallic Surfaces
This article presents results of a study on coating of a polymeric substrate catalyst on metallic surface. Stability of coating on metallic surfaces is a proper specification. Sol-gel technology was used to synthesize adhesion promoters of polysilane compounds that act as a mediator. The intermediate layer was coated by synthesized sulfonated polystyrene-divinylbenzene as a catalyst for product...

The dewetting process, which appears upon laserinduced melting of flat nanostructures and leads to a jumping of the droplets off the surface, is used for deposition of nano-particles onto a second substrate. Limitations in materials and particle sizes are discussed and experimentally verified. The experiments show that a variety of metals can be deposited in a size ranging from tens up to sever...
full textColor Matching for Metallic Coatings
Metallic coatings change in appearance as the viewing and illumination direction change. Matching of such finishes requires a match of color as viewed under different lighting and viewing conditions, as well as texture, i.e. matching the spatial distribution of color. The system described in this paper provides a purely objective and automatic match measure for evaluating the goodness of a colo...

We fabricate grating-structured metallic microsprings with well-defined helical angles and diameters, which are self-rolled from strained nanomembranes patterned with gratings. The grating structures on the metal membrane, replicated from the imprinted polymer layer beneath, give rise to the controlled rolling direction after selective etching of the underlying sacrificial layer. The rolling di...
