Abstract

In this study, the
chemical plating parameters for Ni-P-acetylacetonate-TiO₂ composite
particles and the corrosion resistances of the deposition layer obtained by
electroless plating are investigated. The effects of the TiO₂
concentration, process time, temperature, and pH of the plating materials are
examined, and optimal parameters are determined. The corrosion resistance of
samples obtained by Ni-P-acetylacetonate-TiO₂ composite plating is
assessed by comparison to a Ni plating layer, and it is found to be superior to
that of Ni-P plating layers in a 3.5% NaCl salt spray, as well as in 15% H₂SO₄
and 20% HCl solutions. The origin of this corrosion resistance in composite
plating layers is discussed.
