Complementary analytical techniques, including SEM, EDS, in situ and ex situ XRD, and micro-indentation, were employed for detailed analysis. The transformation of the deposit from its amorphous state to a distinct structure comprising Ni, Ni3P, and NiO due to thermal treatment (ranging from 20 to 800 °C) was examined. The evolution of microstructure with temperature and annealing duration was discussed, correlating with alterations in mechanical properties, particularly micro-hardness. At temperatures exceeding 310 °C, a phase transition occurred, characterized by co-precipitation of Ni and Ni3P, leading to a significant change in the coating’s mechanical behavior. With further temperature elevation, nickel diffused toward the surface, initiating NiO formation at 500 °C. The coating’s oxidation behavior during isothermal treatment at varied temperatures (up to 800 °C) was also explored. This investigation was supported by thermodynamic calculations. Additionally, simplified kinetic simulations with the Dictra module from Thermo-Calc were proven to be able to reproduce the oxidation behavior. Hammer peening treatment enhanced the coating’s hardness in its as-deposited state by introducing residual stresses that affected the precipitation kinetics during subsequent heat treatment. However, this hardening effect was no longer evident after the thermal treatment.Show less >
