A novel graphene-coated Ni electrode was developed in this investigation to improve corrosion resistance while unexpectedly enhancing the ammonia generation rate in the electrochemically induced urea to ammonia (eU2A) process, which is an electrochemical onsite ammonia generation method. The development of the electrode is crucial for the eU2A reactions since in the ammonia generation process, ...

Advancement in vacuum technologies and vapor deposition processes during last decades has led to the introduction of many modern coatings on metal cutting tools. Even in such an advanced vacuum coating techniques, the failure is not due to the wear of the coating but rather due to the lack of coating adhesion to the substrate. In this work, the coating adhesion test results were performed which...

In this research, tribological behavior of Ti-Ni-P intermetallic coatings on titanium substrates have been investigated under dry reciprocating conditions. Hardness profile testing results exhibit that high surface hardness has been attained and static indentation result shows that the intermetallic coating has better adhesion strength than the conventional ceramic coatings. In this respect, th...

Although micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings are widely used for anti-wear protection of metals, they usually contain lots pores and exhibit high coefficient friction. In this work, porous MAO consisting Al2TiO5 were fabricated on the titanium substrate, then Ni-P Ni-P-polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) deposited via electroless plating to fill improve tribological performance. Electroless has wear ...

In order to determine the potential benefits and limitations of aluminide coatings, coatings made by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on Feand Ni-base alloy substrates are being evaluated in various hightemperature environments. Testing of coatings on representative ferritic (Fe-9Cr-1Mo) and austenitic (type 304L stainless steel) alloys has found that high frequency thermal cycling (1h cycle tim...

Abstract— Non Destructive Evaluation (NDE) is the method of evaluating material or object without to damage or make worse. This method is used in process and quality controls and it is also used to evaluate of aircraft, power plants, turbines, nuclear reactor. Electro thermal model is used to find the defects in metals, semiconductor and composite materials etc. till now research has not been t...

Abstract:Electroless Nickel-phosphorus (EN) coatings provide high performance in various industrial fields due to their unique properties such as excellent corrosion and wear resistance. This paper aims to study the effect of ZnO nano-particles addition on corrosion behavior of EN coatings. Various amounts of ZnO nano-particles with average diameter of 50 nm were added to hypophosphite reduced ...

A series of Ni@g-C3N4 composites were synthesized by a simple solvent thermal method using melamine and acetylacetone nickel as precursors. The results of X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and high resolution transmission electron microscopy indicate that Ni was successfully loaded on g-C3N4. And the Ni loaded greatly enhances the photocatalytic H2 evolution activity of g-C3N4...

This paper discusses the effects of sodium hypophosphite concentration, pH and temperature on deposition rate. This paper also discusses the evaluation of coating strength, surface and subsurface by varying the bath parameters, percentage of phosphate, plating temperature and pH of the plating solution. Taguchi technique has been used for the analysis. In the experiment, Nickel chloride which i...

conventional and nanostructured ysz coatings were deposited on the in-738 ni super alloy by the atmospheric plasma spray technique. the oxidation was measured at 1100°c in an atmospheric electrical furnace. according to the experimental results the nanostructured coatings showed a better oxidation resistance than the conventional ones. the improved oxidation resistance of the nanocoating could ...
