Mechanical, tribological and corrosion performance of uncoated and pre-coated TiO2 particles incorporated Ni P coatings

Key Points

• Uncoated TiO2 particles improve wear resistance in Ni P coatings, indicating a promising solution for surface protection.
• Tribological testing reveals a 30% reduction in friction in pre-coated TiO2 Ni P coatings over uncoated counterparts.
• Assessment of corrosion resistance shows enhanced durability with pre-coated TiO2 particles under saline conditions.
• Findings call for further development of coatings in industrial applications, where wear and corrosion are critical issues.
