Elaboration and structural characterisation of NiP/talc layers

The NiP layers witch contain diverse particles have attract considerable attention lately, especially because of their resistance to wear and improved tribological properties. The aim of this paper is to obtain and characterize NiP coatings with talc particles incorporated. Composite NiP deposits of talc particles were made to develop deposits for lubricant tribological applications. (Received January 15, 2013; accepted July 11, 2013)
