Electroless nickel coatings
can be preferred in wear resistant
applications like firearms with good lubricity properties. In this study, a
widely-used magnesium alloy, AZ91D both as-cast and precipitation-hardened
conditions were coated with nickel phosphorus/nickel boron duplex coatings by
the electroless deposition method. Solution treatment (W) of the alloy was
carried out at 415 °C for 22 h in carbon powder followed by water quenched at
25 °C. Aging treatment (T6) of the
solution-treated samples was performed at 216 °C for 6 h. The microstructures,
elemental distributions and phase analysis of the obtained coatings were
characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray
spectrometry (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. According to the XRD
analysis, the obtained coatings have an amorphous character and subsequent to
this, a crystallization process to the sample is carried out at 350 °C. The
friction and wear properties of the coating are studied by means of
ball-on-disc experiments at room temperature under 10N applied loads at 0.1 m/s
sliding speed using alumina balls as counterparts. The friction coefficient of
the sample was compared with each other from friction coefficient-distance
graphics. The wear rates were determined by measuring the depth of the track
with an 3D-optical microscope (3D-OM). Characterization of the wear tracks
was performed by SEM and EDS.
