Enhancement of mechanical and corrosion resistance properties of electrodeposited NiP-TiC composite coatings by Fayyaz O.

“…Vickers microhardness and nanoindentation results demonstrate the increase in the hardness with an increasing amount of TiC particles attaining its terminal value (593HV100) at the concentration of 1.5 g L−1. Further increase in the concentration of TiC particles results in a decrease in hardness, which can be ascribed to their accumulation in the Ni–P matrix. …”
