Ni-P nanostructure coating for low carbon steel (AISI 1012) substrate via electrolysis process.

Electroless nickel-phosphorus (Ni-P) coating is widely utilized in industrial engineering because of its ability to alter and increase the surface qualities of steel substrates Surface qualities like as brightness, luster, and aesthetic appeal can all be improved using electroless nickel coatings. This research succeeded in the preparation of Nickle Phosphorus nanostructure (Ni-P) deposited on low carbon steel substrate via electrolysis process. Ni-P nanoparticle were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) examination. A XRD results explained a crystal size with monoclinic phase structure for Ni-P nanoparticle on low carbon steel substrate, and the diffraction peaks can be assigned with good crystal quality for Ni-P. In addition, the FE-SEM results revealed a small grain size of Ni-P With its excellent adhesion to the coated substrates, this final coating layer can be used as a "undercoat" for subsequent layers of coatings. The main objective of the present work is to improve surface performance characteristics by Ni-P nanostructure coating using electroless deposition technique. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
