ABSTRACTNanocrystalline nickel coatings can be electrodeposited by using grain refiners like saccharin which consequently increase the gloss of the coating. Also, brighteners can produce bright coatings. The aim of this research was to compare the brightness of electroplated nanocrystalline nickel coating with traditional electroplated bright nickel coating. The coatings prepared from the bath containing saccharin and a bath with para-toluene sulphonamide had virtually the same gloss. Thus, instead of expensive brightening agents, saccharin can be used to achieve the same gloss in nickel plating. To investigate the stereochemistry of brightener molecules, the density functional theory (DFT) method was used at the computational level of B3LYP with the basis set 6-311G (d,p) ++ in a Gaussian software. The results of computational chemistry showed that the most probable state of adsorption of brightening additives is when the aromatic ring or a double bond or a triple bond of the brightener molecule approaches the cathode surface during the adsorption process.KEYWORDS: Nickel electrodepositionnanocrystalline nickelpara-toluene sulphonamidesaccharinbrightnessstereochemistryDFT Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTIn this article, eco-friendly graphite has been produced from the carbonised rice husk, an environmental waste. Graphite, carbon nanotube (CNT) and cast iron powder were blended to produce the hybrid coating material. This hybrid coating material was deposited over the cast iron substrate using HVOF thermal spray. The microhardness of the coated sample increased by 42% as compared to the substrate. The morphological and elemental analysis was carried out using SEM, XRD and raman spectroscopy. The residual stresses developed in the coated sample were measured using an X-ray analyzer and found to be compressive, indicating a stable coating. A tribological investigation was carried out on a Pin-on-disc tribometer at ambient, 150°C, and 300°C temperatures. The coefficient of friction and specific wear rate reduced by ≈ 62% and ≈ 47% respectively. The SEM investigation showed evidence of free graphite as a solid lubricant over the coated samples.KEYWORDS: HVOF thermal spray coatingTribologySEMXRDResidual stressRaman spectroscopy AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to sincerely thank Metallizing Equipments Co.

ABSTRACTAnalysis of the sliding wear and microstructural characteristics of iron based composite coatings are discussed. The feedstock, which consisted of 30% SiC and 70% FeNiCrMo, was mechanically combined using a ball milling process. A steel substrate made of ASTM-SA213-T11 was then sprayed with the prepared feedstock using the High Velocity Oxy Fuel (HVOF) process. The coating and substrate were put through a sliding test using a pin-on disc tribometer while being subjected to typical loads of 10 and 20 N at 200°C and 300°C as well as ambient conditions without lubrication. The samples were subjected to microstructures and phase studies using SEM and XRD techniques. Wear characteristics including friction coefficient, volumetric material loss, and wear rates of the coating and substrate were calculated using system-produced data. The hardness and wear resistance of the coated samples were improved owing to the coating region containing hard carbide phases such as SiC and Fe2C.KEYWORDS: Iron basedFeNiCrMoSiCcomposite coatingASTM-SA213-T11 steelHVOFsliding wear AcknowledgementsThe authors are grateful to Aum Techno Spray, Bengaluru, India for providing the HVOF coating system used in this study.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

The corrosion protection behaviour of electrogalvanised steel sheets (EG) by the tetravalent vanadium ion was investigated. Immersion of the bare EG in a NaCl solution revealed that the addition of vanadium(IV) oxide sulphate to the solution led to a transition of the open circuit potential to less noble and the formation of vanadium oxides on the EG surface. The oxide layer included not only vanadium(III) oxides but also a small amount of ZnO, indicating that Zn on the EG surface was oxidised while the vanadium(IV) species was reduced to the vanadium(III) species. The corrosion current density of the EG with the adhering vanadium(III) species was one order of magnitude smaller than that of the bare EG, clearly suggesting that zinc corrosion was reduced by suppressing the reduction reaction of dissolved oxygen. The vanadium(IV) species could be a candidate as a self-healing inhibitor for chromate-free coating technologies by controlling the coupling of Zn oxidation and vanadium(IV) reduction.

Ampelozizyphus amazonicus Ducke (Rhamnaceae), a medicinal plant used to prevent malaria, is a climbing shrub, native to the Amazonian region, with jujubogenin glycoside saponins as main compounds. The crude extract of this plant is too complex for any kind of structural identification, and HPLC separation was not sufficient to resolve this issue. Therefore, the aim of this work was to obtain saponin enriched fractions from the bark ethanol extract by countercurrent chromatography (CCC) for further isolation and identification/characterisation of the major saponins by HPLC and MS. The butanol extract was fractionated by CCC with hexane - ethyl acetate - butanol - ethanol - water (1:6:1:1:6; v/v) solvent system yielding 4 group fractions. The collected fractions were analysed by UHPLC-HRMS (ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography/high resolution accurate mass spectrometry) and MSn. Group 1 presented mainly oleane type saponins, and group 3 showed mainly jujubogenin glycosides, keto-dammarane type triterpene saponins and saponins with C31 skeleton. Thus, CCC separated saponins from the butanol-rich extract by skeleton type. A further purification of group 3 by CCC (ethyl acetate - ethanol - water (1:0.2:1; v/v)) and HPLC-RI was performed in order to obtain these unusual aglycones in pure form.

Copper is the presently favoured and future interconnect material in high-end microprocessors and memory devices because of its low electrical resistivity and higher electromigration than aluminium. The present investigation deals with the electrodeposition of nanocrystalline copper onto brass metallic foil from electrolytes containing copper sulphate (CuSO4·5H2O) as the source of metal ion and sulphuric acid (H2SO4). Benzotriazole (0.5 g L− 1) and sodium lauryl sulphate (0.1 g L− 1) were used as additives. The electrolyte was mechanically agitated and the temperature was maintained at 3°C ± 2°C. These additives have been found to be effective in reducing the grain size, grain boundaries and improving surface morphology of the copper films. They also improve the throwing power of the deposition electrolytes and hardness of deposits. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns obtained for the electrodeposited copper films showed polycrystalline cubic structure. The crystal size of the copper films was calculated by ...
