Nickel-cobalt alloys are important coating materials due to their magnetic properties [1-2], wear resistance [3-4] and electrocatalytic properties [5]. Their deposition from sulfamate electrolytes has many advantages including low internal stress, homogenous deposition at high current densities, high current efficiencies and higher hardness as compared to the conventional Watts electrolyte [6]. A statistical experimental design was used to study the effects of boric acid and nickel chloride concentrations, bath temperature and applied current density on nickel coatings in sulphamate baths. After the optimization of the electrolyte composition, effects of pH and Co additions to the electrolyte were investigated. The coating thickness and its distribution were measured by XRF techniques. Microhardness, surface morphology and internal stress of coatings were also determined. It was found that Co addition to the electrolyte and operation at higher pH yielded deposits of higher Co content and enhanced hardness up to a certain point.

Development of Nanostructured Metallic Glasses with High Toughness
Bagheri Behboud, Ali; Özerinç, Sezer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-8)
Metallic glasses are metallic alloys with disordered atomic structures and desirable mechanical properties such as high hardness, high elastic limits, and wear resistance. These properties make metallic glasses promising materials for wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and biocompatible coating applications. On the other hand, metallic glasses are brittle, which is a major disadvantage for their use in practice. This thesis study aimed to tackle this problem through the development of nanostructured metal...
Effects of pH and cobalt concentration on the properties of nickel cobalt alloy plating
Başkan, Mertcan; Erdoğan, Metehan; Karakaya, İshak (null; 2016-11-01)
Nickel-Cobalt alloys are among the most prominent materials due to their magnetic properties, wear resistance, thermal conductivity and electrocatalytic activities. Although nickel and/or nickel-cobalt alloys have been plated from Watts solution for a long time, today, especially for the engineering applications, nickel sulfamate based solutions are commonly preferred due to the advantages of low internal stress and high deposition rate. The properties of nickelcobalt alloy platings are directly related to ...
INVESTIGATION OF PROCESS PARAMETERS ON PROPERTIES OF EPOXY BASED CATAPHORETIC COATINGS
Kaykaç, Nalan Gülçin; Bat, Erhan; Çırpan, Ali; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2022-8-12)
Cataphoresis is the process of applying high-performance epoxy resins to metal surfaces in order to increase the corrosion resistance of metal materials by using electrochemistry principles. This process is widely used in automotive industry to ensure long time corrosion durability of the vehicles. The cataphoresis process proceeds in two main steps followed by baking. These processes can be roughly summarized as zinc phosphating and electrocoating. A multiple number of degreasing, washing and rinsing steps...
Enhancement of Physical and Mechanical Properties of Epoxy Resins by Graphene/Graphene Oxide Additives
Budak, Deniz; Yıldırım, Erol; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2022-1-23)
Control of interfacial interactions is essential for the preparation of polymer matrix composites with enhanced physical, mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. The performance of the graphene and graphene oxide (GO) additives can be improved by achieving strong adhesion and uniform dispersion of GO in the epoxy matrix. In this study, modeling and simulation of DGEBA (Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether)/DETA (Diethylenetriamine) based epoxy nanocomposites containing graphene and graphene oxide (GO) additi...
