Evaluation of wear resistance

Ni-P platingHard chrome platingNi-P-SiC-CNT composite plating
Amount of weight loss [mg]1st0.50.40.2
2nd0.90.30.2
3rd1.20.20.1
Average0.870.30.17
These date indicate an amount of the test sample's weight loss before and after abrasion test.
The less numerical value, the better abrasion resistance.
The electroless Ni-P-SiC-CNT composite plating is 5.1 times better than the electroless Ni-P plating, 1.8 times better than the Hard chrome plating.
