In this study, the problems of the low deposition rate and bath instability in chemical deposition can be effectively solved by using the pulsed current-assisted chemical deposition process when preparing Ni–P alloy coating. Orthogonal experiments were designed by changing the average current density, pulse frequency and duty ratio of the pulses to study their effects on the deposition rate and hardness of the coatings. Compact Ni–P coating with uniform surface morphology and good performance was prepared by parameter optimization. The results show that our method can greatly improve the deposition rate while ensuring the surface quality and performance of the deposited layer.

In order to alleviate the agglomeration of nanoparticles in the plating solution, the dispersion effect of binary nanoparticles in Ni–P–Al2O3–PTFE composite coating was studied by physical and chemical dispersion methods. The effects of different dispersion methods on the microstructure, hardness and friction coefficient of the composite coating were discussed. Through the performance evaluation of the composite coating, it is found that the effect of using appropriate dispersant and ultrasonic dispersion process is good, which can make the nanoparticles fully dispersed in the solution and evenly distributed in the coating, the composite amount of nanoparticles in the deposition layer is also high. The results show that it has a good effect on improving the wear-resisting and antifriction properties of the composite coatings.
