Abstract

The present article considers an experimental study of tribological performance of electroless Ni–P coatings and optimization of tribological test parameters based on the Taguchi method coupled with grey relational analysis. A grey relational grade obtained from the grey relational analysis is used as performance index to study the behaviour of electroless Ni–P coating with respect to friction and wear characteristics. Experiments are carried out by utilizing the combination of tribological test parameters based on L27 Taguchi orthogonal design with three test parameters, viz., load, speed and time. It is observed that all the three test parameters have significant contribution in controlling the friction and wear behaviour of electroless Ni–P coating. In addition, the interaction of load and time has significant influence on tribological performance. The surface morphology, composition and wear mechanism of the coatings are studied with the help of scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and energy dispersed X-ray analysis.
