Used electroplating to deposit Ni-SiC on a sheet of brass and studied the impact of current density on the particles deposited on the surface of the brass. The deposited layer was studied using X-ray diffraction thin film Vickers micro hardness, and SEM was used to examine the deposit surfaces.
It was discovered that the composite electrolyte's cathodic polarization potential increased more than the brass substrates. Furthermore, the microhardness of the Ni–SiC matrix was improved by the uniform dispersion of co-deposited SiC nanoparticles
