摘要

Carbon steel offers advantages such as high strength and excellent machinability, but its further industrial application is constrained by wear and corrosion issues. This study successfully deposited a Ni-ZrB2 composite coating on L360N carbon steel using pulse electrodeposition technology. Additionally, the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of pure Ni-based coatings and composite coatings with varying ZrB2 additions were compared. Results indicate that incorporating ZrB2 nanomaterials effectively refines the microcrystalline size of the composite coating, resulting in a denser structure. Optimal performance is achieved when ZrB2 is added at 0.5 g/L in the plating solution. The hardness of the Ni-ZrB2-0.5 composite coating is approximately 1.3 times that of the pure alloy coating. Simultaneously, compared to the pure alloy coating, the average coefficient of friction (COF) decreased by about 42.1%, and the impedance in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution increased to nearly 5.5 times that of the pure Ni coating. This performance enhancement is primarily attributed to the grain refinement effect and dispersion strengthening of ZrB2. Furthermore, the Ni-ZrB2-0.5 coating exhibits the highest Rct value (13,450 Ω·cm2) in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution saturated with CO2. The presence of a “labyrinth effect” within the coating also contributes to its enhanced corrosion resistance.
