INVESTIGATION SOME PROPERTIES OF (ZN-NI-SIC) COMPOSITES COATING ON LOW CARBON STEEL

Abstract

This work represents an attempt to introduce further improvement on the
properties of these coatings, although the (Zn-Ni) deposition is known to be an
anomalous electrodeposited process , where added Ceramic materials is (silicon carbide)
,with very good mechanical properties.
Carbon steel samples were coated with (Zn-Ni) and (Zn-Ni-SiC) particles with
different particles size of silicon carbide once microscale (73?m) and another nanoscale
(70-100nm) .After electroplating, these samples were analyzed by X-ray fluorescent to
confirm all the content for each alloy.
