Nickel-Phosphate/Boron (Ni-P/B) electroless coatings have been widely used to improve physical and mechanical properties in various industrial applications, including the automotive, aerospace, chemical processing, food, oil and gas, electronic, textile, and printing industries. Electroless nickel coatings are one of the most popular surface-coating methods due to their low cost and short processing time. The purpose of this review is to look at several coating materials and the existing processes for making electroless coatings on different materials. The improvement of Ni-P/B composite coatings by the incorporation of secondary particles into an alloy matrix at the macro, micro, and nano levels is explained in detail. Process parameters like type of surfactant, annealing temperature, size of the reinforcement material, and reducing-agent percentage on mechanical characteristics like hardness, high-temperature oxidation behaviour, friction, coefficient, wear, and corrosion have been broadly researched and illustrated clearly.
磷酸镍/硼(Ni-P/B)化学镀层已广泛应用于各种工业领域,用于改善物理和机械性能,包括汽车、航空航天、化学加工、食品、石油和天然气、电子、纺织及印刷行业。化学镀镍涂层因其成本低、加工时间短而成为最受欢迎的表面涂层方法之一。本综述的目的是研究几种涂层材料以及在不同材料上制备化学镀层的现有工艺。详细解释了通过在宏观、微观和纳米层面将二次颗粒掺入合金基体来改进Ni-P/B复合涂层的方法。诸如表面活性剂类型、退火温度、增强材料尺寸以及还原剂百分比等工艺参数对硬度、高温氧化行为、摩擦系数、磨损和腐蚀等机械性能的影响已得到广泛研究并清晰阐述。
