Diffusion and Phase Change During Heat Treatment of Ni-B Coatings on Steel

Nickel-boron coatings are used to improve friction and wear properties (and, in some cases, corrosion resistance). The nickel-boron coating investigated here is 5-6 wt% boron, and is deposited by electroless plating on a 1018 steel substrate. It is amorphous as-plated, and heat treatment is used t...
