Abstract:
The CNTs-(Ni-P) composites were prepared by electroless plating on 45
# steel substrate, and the optimum composition and operating conditions were obtained. The TEM was used to observe the CNTs' structure,the SEM was used to observe the appearance and distribution of the CNTs in the composites and the AFM(atomic force microscopy) was used to analyze the roughness status of the composite surface. The influence of the CNTs on the tribological performance of the composites is discussed. The results show that the CNTs-(Ni-P) composites have better wear-resistance than the uncoated substrate and the substrate coated with nikel.
