Electroplating
Novel Post Treatment of Nano-particle Reinforced Metallic Coatings
This paper discusses a novel post-treatment reinforcement process for both electroless and electrolytic nano-composite coatings which further improves the hardness of the coating (+40%), while also improving the ductility of the material. This technology is applicable to commercial baths for a large variety of electrolytic and electroless coatings. Interestingly, post-treated coatings retain performance at higher temperatures, suggesting improved oxide dispersion strengthening effects, potentially offering new coating options for high temperature applications.

This NASF-AESF Foundation research project report covers the 13th and 14th quarters of project work (January-June 2019) on this AESF Foundation Research project at the University of Houston. The activities in this period continued towards calculating an optimum pulse current deposition method to control and mitigate the stress state of chromium thin films. This study should enable development of an effective strategy generally applicable in practice whenever electrodeposition process for crack-free films is demanded.
