Studi Pelapisan Komposit Ni-P-Nano Al2O3 Dengan Metode Electroless Co-Deposition [Study of Ni-P-Nano Al2O3 Composite Coating With Electroless Co-Deposition Methode]

The Ni-P-nano powder Al2O3 composite coating have been prepared by electroless codeposition method. It has advantage that the process does not require an electrode, fast deposition rate, good corrosion and wear resistance. In this study, the variable parameters are the addition of nano powder Al2O3 composition. The aim of this research is to determine microstructure phenomenon, phase and crystalinity, chemical composition and distribution on coating surface, and corrosivity Ni-P-nano powder Al2O3 composite coating.
The substrate is used stainless steel 410. Substrates have been pre treated in order to activate the surface. Then, substrate immersed in solution that consisting of nickel sulfate, sodium hypophosphite, ammonium sulfate, sodium acetate, lead acetate and nano alumina powder. The substrate is immersed about 60 minutes at a 90±2 °C temperature with speed of 150 rpm. Sample characterization has done by SEM-EDS, XRD, and CMS. Results indicate there is a microstructure visual difference before and after electroless coating process.
Based on variable experiment, the optimum nanopowder Al2O3 compositionis 10 gr/l which have given the best paticle distribution and most excellent corrosion resistance.
