Electrodeposition of zinc–nickel–carbon nanotubes composite coatings in a reversing mode

Аннотация

Composite electrochemical coatings (CECs) made of zinc–nickel–carbon nanotubes have been obtained in a reversing regime. The structure and functional properties of these CECs have been investigated. It has been established that introduction of carbon nanotubes into the deposition electrolyte of a zinc–nickel alloy results in a lowered friction coefficient and enhanced protective capability of the formed coatings.
