Study on Anti-Corrosion Property of Nickel-Based Coatings on Copper Surface in Supersonic Particles Deposition

In this study, the anti-corrosion properties of nickel-based coatings on the surface of copper alloy were investigated, and damages caused by corrosion on the copper surface were resolved. Researchers prepared nickel-based coatings by supersonic particles deposition, and tested the anti-corrosion properties of brass substrate and nickel-based coating by electrochemical technology and neutral salt spray. The results show that, the corrosion current of coating decreased 35 times than that of matrix. The successive and pyknotic oxide film on the surface of coating prevented reaction of corrosion further. When it reached 500 hours, the corrosion rate closed to 0. Nickel-based coatings prepared by supersonic particles deposition contribute to the increase of corrosion resistance significantly, which verifies that it is feasible to prepare outstanding corrosion resisting nickel-based coating by supersonic particles deposition.
