Abrasion resistance of Ni-B/Si3N4 composite layers produced by electroless method
Journal Title: Archives of Materials Science and Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 87
Abstract
Purpose: The paper presents the results of investigations of Ni-B/Si3N4 composite layers produced on steel substrate by electroless method. Design/methodology/approach: Amorphous silicon nitride powder (Si3N4) with nanometric particle sizes was used as a dispersion phase for the production of composite layers. Ni-B/Si3N4 composite layers were produced in baths of varying Si3N4 powder content. For comparative purposes, the study also includes results related to a Ni-B layer. The Si3N4 powder and the structure of the produced layers were characterized. The topography and morphology of the surface of the produced layers are presented. The adhesion of the layers to the substrate material was determined. Microhardness and tribological properties of test materials were determined. Findings: The results of the studies show that Ni-B/Si3N4 composite layers and Ni-B composite layers are characterized by compact structures and good adhesion to the substrate material. The incorporation of Si3N4 particles into the Ni-B layers increases the degree of surface development of the layers. The Ni-B/Si3N4 composite layer material exhibits less microhardness and less abrasive wear compared to Ni-B layers. However, the extent of wear damage of the Ni-B/Si3N4 is relatively small comparing to Ni-B layers.
