摘要

Electrodeposited Ni-W alloy coatings are gaining importance as a suitable candidate for chrome plating due to its excellent hardness and corrosion resistance. The application of these Ni-W coatings under high-speed sliding requires appropriate study. In this work, the sliding wear behavior as a function of sliding velocity (0.67-1.51 m/s) for electrodeposited Ni-W deposited utilizing alkaline electrolyte and hard chrome (HCr) coatings was studied using pin-on-disk configuration. Ni-W coating demonstrated ~ 43% lower wear rate at 1.51 m/s sliding velocity as compared to HCr. Ni-W coatings did not show much wear rate dependence on sliding velocity whereas wear rate decreased with increase in velocity for HCr coatings. Abrasive wear mechanism was predominant in Ni-W whereas in HCr coatings, wear takes place by delamination and abrasion. Raman spectroscopy analysis of worn surface suggested presence of predominant NiWO4 + WO3 and Cr2O3 oxide for Ni-W and HCr coatings, respectively. Irrespective of sliding velocity, Ni-W illustrated lower wear rates than HCr coatings despite having relatively lower hardness. The results were rationalized based on wear-induced subsurface hardening and composition of worn surface oxide film.
