The invention discloses a method for
electroplating a Ni-Cr-
PTFE composite coating in
ionic liquid. In a non-water
system and an
inert-gas
atmosphere, [BMIM]NiCl3 liquid containing
nickel ions, [BMIM]CrCl4 liquid containing
chromium ions, LiCl, PTFE and N,N-dimethyldodecylamine
oxide (OB-2) are added into a certain amount of mixed
solvent of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium
chlorine (EMIMCI) and
ethylene glycol (EG), mechanical stirring and ultrasonic wave stirring are conducted for a certain time until the mixture is mixed evenly, and electroplate liquid is obtained; a
cathode electrode and an
anode electrode are placed into an
electroplating bath, a certain space between the electrodes, temperature,
impulse frequency, pulse duty factor, deposition period and
average current density are kept,
pulse electroplating is conducted at a certain stirring speed, and after
electroplating, washing and
drying are conducted, and the Ni-Cr-
PTFE composite coating is obtained, wherein a pretreated matrix serves as the
cathode electrode, and a
platinum sheet or
graphite serves as the
anode electrode. Due to the fact that the PTFE and Cr are added, the antifriction performance and
hardness of the
coating are obviously improved, the process procedure is simple, the equipment investment is low, and the method is
environmentally friendly and economical.
