Abstract

In this study, the corrosion resistance of Nickel nanocrystalline layers induced by Surface Mechanical Attrition Treatment (SMAT) in 10% NaOH was investigated. Nickel nanocrystalline layers were studied by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), Optical Microscopy and roughness test. XRD patterns showed that the peaks intensities were found to decrease due to peak broadening by increasing the treatment time. However, after 60 min, the intensity of the peaks was increased. Nickel nanocrystalline layers induced by SMAT showed better corrosion resistance than that of bulk Ni in all treatment times.
