In this study a high-velocity air-fuel (HVAF) flame-sprayed WC-10Co4Cr coating was heat-treated at (240; 300; 400) °C for 2 h in an air atmosphere. The effect of the heat treatment on the hardness, fracture toughness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, phase composition and microstructure behaviour of the coatings was investigated. It could be concluded from the X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern that the phase of the coatings was mainly composed of tungsten carbide, an amorphous phase, a small amount of W2C and trace metal tungsten. However, the heat-treated coating had a small increase in W2C compared to the original coating, although the amount of amorphous phase did not decrease significantly. The results indicated that as the heat-treatment temperature increased, the hardness of the coating first increased and then decreased, while the fracture toughness increased. The polarization test confirmed that the heat-treated coating had higher corrosion resistance than the original coating. In addition, the results of the reciprocating friction and wear test indicated that small amounts of W2C strengthening phases were formed in the WC-10Co4Cr coating after heat treatment at 400 °C. This process did not eliminate many of the tougher Co and WC phases. Therefore, this coating had the best wear resistance among all the comparative coatings.

Research has shown the relationship among hardness, usage and corrosion resistance Ni-P-Al2O3 composite coatings on steel support heat treated. The electroless strips were heat treated at 200°C, 300°C, 400°C, 500°C and 600°C. Further studies on corrosion, hardness and usage revealed changes in properties, compared to the initial state, both on the strips coated with Ni-P and the ones coated with Ni-P-Al2O3 composite. The samples have been studied before and after the heat treatment via Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDX) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The results show that untreated Ni-P layers exhibit strong corrosion resistance, while hardness and usage increase with heat treatment temperature, with a peak at 400 °C. Using suspended particles co-deposition, led to new types of layers, some with excellent hardness and usage properties. Corrosion resistance increase with heat treatment. Coating layers can be adjusted to the desired characteristics, by selecting proper parameters for the expected specific results.

Fe-C-Ta-Cr-Ni alloy powder in diameter of 32-53 μm made by argon atomization was low-pressure plasma sprayed to produce high Cr-Ni cast iron base deposits with finely dispersed tantalum carbide particles. The as-sprayed deposit formed on a water-cooled substrate consisted of γFe, αFe and carbide. The fine precipitates of approximately 0.1 μm in the as-sprayed deposit formed on a water-cooled substrate were carbide. With increasing heat treatment temperature up to 1273 K, the carbide particles coarsened. The hardness of deposit decreases with increasing heat treatment temperature. The wear resistance of as-sprayed deposit formed on a non-cooled substrate was higher than that of the deposit heat-treated at 1273 K. The as-sprayed deposit and deposit heat-treated at 1273 K hade higher wear resistance than a commercial stainless steel.

Nano structured WC-Co coatings with carbide size of 100−200nm were fabricated by detonation gun spraying. The fabricated nano coatings showed improved hardness and wear resistance compared to micron WC-Co coatings. Considerable phase decomposition of WC to W2C and amorphous phase in nano coatings was detected, which is known to degrade wear resistance of coatings. In order to improve the wear resistance of the coatings by recovering of dissociated carbide phases, post heat treatment was conducted in Ar environment at temperature range of 400−900°C. Harness, fracture toughness and wear resistance of nano coatings were significantly improved by post heat treatment. The improved properties were elucidated and discussed in terms of microstructure and phase compositions.

Electroplating Ni-W coatings have been prepared on medium carbon steel substrate by using nickel sulphate and sodium tungstate as precursors. The microstructures, phase compositions and performances of the as-prepared coatings were analyzed by SEM, EDS, AFM, XRD, microhardness tester and wear tester, respectively. The surface morphologies after wearing were observed and the wear mechanism was discussed. The corrosion behaviors of the coatings before and after heat-treatments were evaluated by anodic polarization in 3.5% sodium chloride solution. The results show that no obvious flaws could be found in the Ni-W alloy coatings and there was a good bond with the matrix. The microhardness of the coatings increased with increasing heat treatment temperature, reaching its maximum value for heat treatment at 500°C, and then droped down. Wear resistance of the coatings was found to be better than that of 16 Mn steel and the heat treatment improved the hardness and wear resistance. The corrosion resistance of the heat-treated coatings increased with increasing the annealing temperature, and best corrosion resistance could be obtained at the temperature of 500°C.

The present study is aimed at investigating wear resistance of the heat treated of recycled aluminium type AA6061 for various reinforced methods (heat treatment reinforced by graphite and silica) using pin on disc method. In the study, weight loss value of the recycled chip of AA6061 was observed. Eight specimens were taken for the wear test. The results showed that the wear resistance increased for specimens treated by heat treatment. This increase in wear resistance is value of micro hardness which increased with the increase of the percentage of silica reinforcement. Thus, the weight loss decreased and the volume loss also decreased.

<p>The corrosion resistance of duplex stainless steel welded joints is affected by different parameters such as filler metal chemical composition, heat input, shielding gas composition and post welding heat treatment temperature. In most cases such parameters interact with each other so that it is very difficult to foresee their effect on corrosion resistance of welded joints without specific experimental tests. In this work the best combination of shielding gas composition and post welding heat treatment temperature that guarantees the corrosion resistance of the joint according to ASTM  A932, method C, was found.  Two shielding gases were tested during welding, Ar (100%) and a mixture of Ar (87%), He (10%) and N (3%), while the solution temperatures were 1050 °C and 1070 °C.  It was found that only the samples welded with the mixture of Ar (87%), He (10%), N (3%) as shielding gas and solution heat treated at 1070 °C passed the corrosion test completely.</p>

AbstractIn this study, T5 heat treatment was applied to AA6063 alloy aged at 455 K for 2 hours after extrusion at 686 K. T6 heat treatment was also carried out by ageing at 455 K for 2 hours after solution heat treatment at 794 K for 1 hour. Heat treated T5 and T6 specimens were tested by pin-on-disc type wear equipment. Wear test was carried out by using 10, 20, 30 N loads and 400, 800, 1200 and 1600 m wear distance. T5 and T6 heat treated specimens were characterized with scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and hardness measurements. Worn surfaces of the specimens was also characterised with SEM. The results indicated that small and homogenously dispersed Mg2Si precipitates formed in AA6063 aluminium alloy with T6 heat treatment were compared to the T5 heat treatment. As a result of increment precipitate size, wear resistance decreased. T6 heat treated specimens showed higher hardness compared to the T5 heat treated specimens. In addition wear resistance and friction coefficient of both T5 and T6 heat treated specimens decreased with increasing applied load.
