Production of Cu/Diamond Composite Coatings and Their Selected Properties.

This article presents Cu/diamond composite coatings produced by electrochemical reduction on steel substrates and a comparison of these coatings with a copper coating without diamond nanoparticles (<10 nm). Deposition was carried out using multicomponent electrolyte solutions at a current density of 3 A/dm and magnetic stirring speed of 100 rpm. Composite coatings were deposited from baths with different diamond concentrations (4, 6, 8, 10 g/dm).
