Abstract:
Engineered components can gain desirable properties when coated with surface materials. Hard chromium has been given priority in material selection list while making choice for certain wear and corrosion- resistant coatings because of its desirable combination of chemical resistance, adhesion, and mechanical properties. Owing to the existing environmental safety concerns, there is restrictions on the employability of hexavalent chromium ions as plating material. This substantiates a need to develop an environmentally friendly process for alternative coatings. Today, Chromium Nickel Carbide (Cr-Ni-C) is emerging as good quality plating substrate with no the toxic compounds as compared to existing chromium complex. The purpose of this research paper is to investigate electroless processes for plating metal powder, chromium nickel carbide with nickel. These particles were successfully encapsulated with Ni by electroless deposition method using different solutions.
