Abstract
Nickel-PolyTetraFluoroEthylene (Ni-PTFE) composite coatings were prepared from a watts-type nickel plating bath by varying process parameters in this study. The considered input process variables were current density, potential of hydrogen range, bath temperature, PTFE bath concentration, and stirrer speed. Experiments systematically analyzed their effects on outcomes. The responses measured in the experiments included the surface roughness, mass of deposit, and coating thickness of the coated samples. Scanning electron microscope and microstructure examinations analyzed Ni-PTFE deposition in specimens from mild steel plates. Additionally, an adaptive neural fuzzy inference system model was developed to predict the surface roughness, mass of deposit, and coating thickness of the coated samples. The model showed high accuracy in predicting parameters, closely matching experimental data.
