Abstract

© 2022, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.Abstract: In this study, electrolytic coating of pure chromium and Cr-ND (nano diamond) were applied on pre-alloy metal powder metallurgy specimens. The effects of the co-deposited ND particles and coating duration on the passivation, pitting and uniform corrosion behaviors of the chromium coatings were comparatively investigated with pure Cr coating and non-coated samples. Polarization Resistance, Cyclic Voltammetry and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy measurements methods were deployed for corrosion analyzes under 3.5 wt % NaCl solution. Characterization and microstructure tests were carried out using an optical microscope, SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), EDS (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy), XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) and AFM (Atomic Force Microscope). A cogent improvement in the corrosion behavior of the Cr-ND coatings compared to pure chromium coatings and non-coated specimens were obtained due to the performed corrosion tests results.
