Abstract: Electroless Ni–B–W coating is deposited on low carbon steel in an alkaline sodium borohydride-reduced electroless bath. The mechanical and tribological properties of such coatings are much necessary to be assessed to carry ...

Abstract: The electroless deposition process can develop composite coatings superior in mechanical and tribological characteristics. The deposited alloy matrix with the reinforcement of a hard ceramic phase can produce a stronger ...

Abstract: Concerns raised about the environmental ramifications of electrodeposited hard chromium (EHC) plating are perhaps the paramount challenge posed to the finishing industries to find a suitable alternative. Electroless Ni-B ...
