  4. Abstract:
  5. An experimental study of wear characteristics of electroless Ni-10% P coating sliding against hard AISI 52100 steel pin is investigated. Experiments are carried out at room and 550°C temperatures. Heat treatment effects on tribological behavior of this coating are studied. The wear surface and the microstructure of the coatings are analyzed using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersion analysis X-ray, and microhardness testing equipment. It is observed that the forming of continuous oxide film on contacting surfaces of pin and disk improves wear resistance and decreases friction coefficient of the Ni-10% P coating. The results indicate that the wear resistance of electroless Ni-10% P coating has improved with heat treatment at room temperature wear test, but it reverses in the wear test at 550°C. In addition, specimens without heat treatment have the highest wear resistance and the lowest friction for wear tests at elevated temperatures
