Abstract

The effect of electroless nickel plating on the fatigue properties of 30CrMoA steel was investigated by means of up and down load fatigue tests, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical metallograph. The results show that electroless Ni-P alloy on quenched and tempered 30CrMoA steel decreases its fatigue strength by 39 percent, but that shot-peening before plating can increase the strength by 30 percent, compared with plating directly, and that the fatigue source appears almost at the interface between the coating and the substrate. On the coating, some parallel cracks vertical to the stress axis form after testing.
