Abstract

Abstract: Corrosion resistance across a wide temperature range, increased physical, mechanical, and tribological capabilities, variable surface hydrophobicity, and an attractive appearance are all advantages of electrodeposited metal matrix composite coatings (MMCs). As a result, several studies have been conducted to evaluate the various physical, mechanical, biochemical, electrochemistry, and thermodynamics characteristics of nanocrystalline composite material, generated on a variety of substrates with numerous electrodeposition settings. In this review paper, the current literatures on wear rate of electrode-posited Ni-based coatings made of composite materials are being reviewed. More specifically, the research papers on weight management, wear resistance, coefficient of friction, surface roughness, hardness and associated deterioration methods has been identified and reviewed. The observations showed that nano-composite films offer substantially superior wear resistance than magnesium alloys and pure nickel coatings due to the diffraction stiffening and grain refining effects. Also, abrasion is the main wear process for nano-composite coatings, whereas adhesion wear is the primary wear arrangement for magnesium alloys and major wear mechanism for pure nickel coatings is exfoliation wear.
