Eletrodeposição, Caracterização e Estudos de Corrosão de Camadas de Ni-Mo-P

Abstract

The present work describes the electrodeposition and characterization of the Ni-Mo-P coatings as well their corrosion behavior in 0.1 mol L-1 NaCl solution. The coatings were obtained by under galvanostatic control in the range of 25 mA cm-2 to 100 mA cm-2 and at the following plating solutions temperatures: room temperature (@ 27 °C), 50 °C and 70 °C. As-electrodeposited and as-annealed Ni-Mo-P coatings were characterized using Scaning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) techniques and by microhardness measurements. The Ni-Mo-P coatings were electrodeposited on a copper surface using a plating solution contain 0.02 mol L-1 Na2MoO4.2H2O; 0.20 mol L-1 NiSO4·6H2O; 0.02 mol L-1, 0.04 mol L-1 NaPH2O2 and 0.10 mol L-1 Na3C6H5O7.2H2O, with the pH adjusted to 9.0 with ammonia solution. The corrosion tests were carried out by Potentiodynamic Linear Polarization (PLP) and by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The microhardness measurements were made in samples as-electrodeposited and asannealed at 100, 200, 400 and 600°C. XRD diffractograms showed a change from crystalline structure for amorphous with the increase of P content in the coating. The increase of the microhardness of the coatings is observed with the increase of the annealing temperature which was related to the precipitation of Ni3P, Ni and Ni-Mo phases. The corrosion study shows a tendency of shift of the corrosion potentials for more positive values with the increase of P in the layer. Analyzing the corrosion results it can determine that Ni78Mo10P12 is the more resistive coating among the layers of studied.
