Abstract
It is found experimentally that electrodeposition of coatings from nickel(II)- and cerium(III)-ion-containing methanesulfonate electrolytes results in formation of nickel-matrix-deposits with ceriumoxide-compound inclusions. Increase in the cerium(III) concentration in the electrolyte, as well, as in the electrodeposition current density and electrolysis temperature, leads to increase in the cerium content in the deposits. The experimental data are in good agreement with the nickel-cerium coating formation scheme that implies the cerium oxide compounds to arise directly at the cathode surface due to pH increase in the near-electrode space as a result of hydrogen-evolution side reaction. The effect of nanosized cerium-containing oxide particles on the composite microhardness can be explained theoretically in terms of the dispersive hardening and the hardening caused by grain diminishment.
