Abstract

In this study, vanadium carbide (VC) was used as the raw material to synthesize PDA-functionalized VC (P-VC). VC and P-VC were added as nanoreinforced materials to the Ni-W-B coating. The effects of the two nanomaterials on the morphology, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of the Ni-W-B coatings were investigated and compared. The experimental results show that the surface of the Ni-W-B/P-VC coating is denser and more uniform than that of the Ni-W-B and Ni-W-B/VC coatings, and there are no obvious defects on the surface. According to the hardness test, the Ni-W-B/P-VC coating reaches the highest microhardness of 887.1 HV. According to the friction and wear tests, the Ni-W-B/P-VC coating has the shallowest scratches, the lowest average friction coefficient (COF = 0.274), and the lowest wear rate (9.578 × 10^-8 mm²/N). The corrosion resistance is the best, the corrosion rate is 0.0456 mm/y, and the impedance value R_t reaches 14,501 Ω·cm².
