In this study, pulse current electrodeposition (PC) was used to fabricate Ni-W-SiCthin films on mild steel plates, by utilizing a Watts-type Ni liquid that contained SiC nano-particles (NPs). The films deposited with 9 g/L SiC NP showed a smooth, finely granular, and remarkably homogeneous surface s...
