本研究藉由複合無電鍍技術,在AA6061鋁合金原基材分別經熱氧化處理與電流陽極處理,以無電鍍法析出Ni-P-Cu/Graphene複合鍍層,分析鍍膜的結構與機械性質,並探討無電鍍Ni-P-Cu/Graphene複合鍍層對AA6061鋁合金在0.5M H2SO4水溶液中腐蝕破壞的影響。 實驗中使用AA6061鋁合金原基材經陽極及熱處理,無電鍍鎳磷銅,無電鍍鎳磷銅/石墨烯複合鍍層,探討經熱處理與陽極處理後的鎳磷銅/石墨烯複合鍍膜的表面結構、耐磨耗腐蝕與耐腐蝕性的影響效應。本實驗利用掃描式電子顯微鏡(SEM)及能量散射光譜儀(EDS)、維克氏微硬度試驗機(Hv)等,觀察鍍膜表面的形態、鍍層的元素分析、量測表面硬度。在0.5M H2SO4水溶液中進行磨耗腐蝕試驗,並進行電化學動態極化法分析試驗。 研究結果顯示AA6061鋁合金試片表面經陽極處理後硬度值增加,其無電鍍鎳磷銅/石墨烯複合鍍層更能有效的增加鍍層表面硬度,也能提供鋁合金基材的腐蝕與耐磨腐蝕保護性,石墨烯的添加可提供潤滑性,使Ni-P-Cu有最佳的耐磨耗腐蝕性,尤其添加石墨烯經陽極處理後的更有強化耐腐蝕與磨耗腐蝕的作用。
This study using electroless-plating techniques to deposit the Ni-P-Cu/Graphene composite coatings on AA6061 aluminum alloy substrate after pre-treatment including thermal oxidation or anodizing evaluates the structure, mechanical properties of the composite coatings as well as their corrosion and wear resistance in 0.5M H2SO4 solution. The corrosion resistance behavior of the composite coatings was performed by using electrochemical polarization measurements. The surface morphology and elemental analysis and surface hardness of the composite coatings before and after all tests are analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray energy dispersive analyzer (EDS). The surface hardness of the specimens was measured by a Vickers′ micro-hardness tester. It is hoped that the effect of the thermal oxidation or anodizing pre-treatment on the surface structure, corrosion and wear resistance of the composite coatings could be evaluated. The results indicated that AA6061 aluminum alloy after anodizing oxidation increases its surface hardness as well as the electroless Ni-P-Cu/Graphene composite coatings. Moreover, these composite coatings could present the well corrosion and wear protection ability to the aluminum alloy substrate. Because the graphene has a good lubrication ability such that the Ni-P-Cu/Graphene composite coating has the best corrosive wear resistance property especially as the alloy substrate after anodizing pre-treatment.
