Electrodeposition of nanostructured Nickel-Ceramic composite coatings: A review

Abstract

This review presents a recent literature on electrochemically prepared nickel-ceramic nanocomposites coatings. These nanostructured coatings exhibit remarkable enhanced corrosion resistance and microhardness which are of interest for applications in diverse fields. In this review article significant attention is paid to the mechanisms of metal-particle electrocodeposition and different parameters affecting the electrodeposition process. Different techniques used in characterization of these composite coatings were also considered.
