Abstract
In the recent years, the development of nanotechnology has increased the applications of nanoparticles, and the possibility of incorporating them into innovative composite coatings. In this paper, we aim to improve the corrosion resistance of 42CrMo4 and 65G steels by electroless chemical deposition of Ni, reinforced by adding of nanoparticles of nanodiamants (ND), boron (B) or cubic-BN (CBN). Consequently, by this approach we extend the useful-life of these mechanical parts, making them suitable for aerospace and automotive industry.
