Effects of the CNT Content and Plating Solution pH After Purification on the Performance of Ni–P/CNT Composite Coating
Effects of the CNT Content and Plating Solution pH After Purification on the Performance of Ni–P/CNT Composite Coating
After CNTs were purified, Ni–P/CNT composite coating was prepared at different CNT contents and plating solution pH values by univariate experimental method. Besides, the surface appearance, hardness, corrosion resistance and wear resisting property of the coating were tested and analyzed by X-ray diffractometer, scanning electronic microscope, microhardness tester, electrochemical workstation, tribometer and other means. The results suggest that fibers on the surface of purified CNTs are clear and well dispersed. During dummy plating, purified CNTs were more likely to deposit on Ni–P coating. A proper amount of CNTs could reasonably improve the structure of Ni–P/CNT composite coating; different pH values would lead to different specific gravities of alloying elements and CNT deposition, and a reasonable pH value would help the coating reach the optimal hardness, wearability and corrosion resistance. In general, Ni–P/CNT composite coating has the best comprehensive performance when the CNT content is 40 mg/L and pH value is 6.

Abstract
After CNTs were purified, Ni–P/CNT composite coating was prepared at different CNT contents and plating solution pH values by univariate experimental method. Besides, the surface appearance, hardness, corrosion resistance and wear resisting property of the coating were tested and analyzed by X-ray diffractometer, scanning electronic microscope, microhardness tester, electrochemical workstation, tribometer and other means. The results suggest that fibers on the surface of purified CNTs are clear and well dispersed. During dummy plating, purified CNTs were more likely to deposit on Ni–P coating. A proper amount of CNTs could reasonably improve the structure of Ni–P/CNT composite coating; different pH values would lead to different specific gravities of alloying elements and CNT deposition, and a reasonable pH value would help the coating reach the optimal hardness, wearability and corrosion resistance. In general, Ni–P/CNT composite coating has the best comprehensive performance when the CNT content is 40 mg/L and pH value is 6.
