Abstract

Ni–P coatings with low P content (P wt pct < 1.0) were fabricated at different applied current densities of electrodeposition ranging from 5 to 80 mA cm−2. Electrochemical analysis revealed that the Ni–P coating deposited at 60 mA cm−2 exhibited the highest corrosion resistance, while the coating deposited at 5 mA cm−2 exhibited the lowest corrosion resistance. The corrosion analysis results were correlated with the electron backscatter diffraction analysis. Low surface free energy (100) texture, low average grain size, and a high fraction of Σ3 low-energy grain boundaries contributed to the superior corrosion resistance of the 60 mA cm−2 coating. A higher corrosion rate in the case of 5 mA cm−2 coating was primarily due to higher energy surface texture and larger grain size distribution.
