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

Abstract

This work represents an attempt to introduce further improvement on theproperties of these coatings, although the (Zn-Ni) deposition is known to be ananomalous 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 withdifferent particles size of silicon carbide once microscale (73μm) and another nanoscale(70-100nm) .After electroplating, these samples were analyzed by X-ray fluorescent toconfirm all the content for each alloy.
