The results showed that the incorporation of MoS2 particle into the electrodeposited Cr coatings is impossible and no chromium coating can be electroplated from baths containing more than 5 g/L MoS2 particles. In addition, as the MoS2 concentration in the bath increases up to 1 g/L the corrosion and wear resistance of the deposited coatings increases. Moreover, those coatings that were electroplated from the baths containing more than 1 g/L exhibited less performance regarding their corrosion and wear behavior.}, keywords = {electroplating,Crack-free Chromium coating,MoS2 particles,Corrosion,Wear}, url = {https://ijcce.ac.ir/article_28215.html}, eprint = {https://ijcce.ac.ir/article_28215_e29f4e78ce8297e6faee96a9f5d16093.pdf} }
