Description
In this paper, the microstructure, and mechanical performance of ZneAl2O3eSiC film codeposited
on mild steel substrate were produced by electrodeposition method. The
structural characteristic of the composite coating was analyzed by scanning electron microscope
(SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffraction
(XRD) and atomic force microscope (AFM). Mechanical examination was done using
durascan hardness tester. The result showed that the influence of individual particle
loading greatly alter the structural properties and hardness behavior. The increase in
hardness is attributed to the perfect homogeneity and characteristics of the particulate
which led to the formation of uniform distribution, coherent and interfacial precipitation
within the zinc lattice.
