采用直流电沉积的方法在低碳钢表面制备了一层Ni-W合金镀层,研究了pH值对电沉积Ni-W合金镀层结构及其耐蚀性能的影响。结果表明:在硫酸盐-柠檬酸镀液体系中可直接沉积一层均匀致密的Ni-W合金层,pH值小于7的镀液沉积得到纳米晶结构的Ni-W镀层;pH值大于7时,镀层为非晶态结构。Ni-W合金层的硬度主要由镀层中W含量所决定,镀液pH值为5.5时所沉积的Ni-W镀层中W含量最高,镀层的硬度最高(753 HV);在3.5%(质量分数)NaCl溶液中,Ni-W合金层均表现出比低碳钢更低的电化学活性,对基体具有良好的保护作用。在所有的Ni-W合金镀层样品中,非晶态镀层由于表面易发生钝化而具有更加优异的耐蚀性能,其中镀液pH值为7.5时所沉积的镀层具有最优的耐蚀性能。
Ni- W alloy coating was electrodeposited on low- carbon steel from an aqueous citratesulphate,while the effect of pH value on surface state, structure and corrosion resistance of the NiW alloy coatings was investigated. The result shows that: nanocrystalline Ni-W alloy coatings were produced when pH7, while amorphous Ni-W alloy coatings were electrodeposited when pH7.The hardness of Ni-W alloy coatings is correlated with the W content in the alloy coating. In contrast with low-carbon steel, Ni-W alloy coatings show much positive corrosion potential and much lower corrosion current density. Furthermore, the amorphous Ni- W alloy coating electrodeposited by pH=7.5 shows the best corrosion resistance due to the peculiar passivity of the coating in 3.5%(mass fraction) NaCl.
