Effect of Pulse Electrodeposition Parameters on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Ni-W/B Nanocomposite Coatings.

In this work, Ni−W/B nanocomposite coatings were successfully fabricated on low carbon steel by using pulse current (PC) electrodeposition. The effects of the frequency and duty cycle on the microstructure, wear resistance, and microhardness of the coatings were studied. The results obtained show that the distribution and content of boron particles (>4 wt.
