Abrasive and erosive wear of components and machinery is an ongoing challenge in the oil sands industry in northern Alberta, Canada. To improve the wear resistance by increasing surface hardness of steels, heat treatments and deposition of hard layers of metal alloys (such as stellite) by fusion welding techniques are traditionally used. However, these deposition techniques are not applicable to all shapes and add considerable weight to the final component. Thermal spraying techniques such as the use of high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) composite coatings based on WC-Co cermet system offer better wear resistance and greater flexibility in applications. This study presents work on two feedstock powders, namely nanocrystalline and microcrystalline WC-Co cermets, with identical matrix phase content: WC-17wt.%Co. The novelty of the research is that an engineered duplex Co coated WC-17wt.%Co cermet particle designed to withstand coating spalling under elevated loads as well as to limit abrasive debridement during wear is introduced for the first time to produce a more homogeneously-dispersed coating microstructure. The engineered particle has 6wt.% of the ductile phase material mixed into the core to insure that the reinforcement WC phase is discontinuous to limit the debridement during wear, while remainder (11wt.%) of the Co is applied as a coating on the particle to improve the ductility. The mechanical properties of the overall particle are further improved by controlling the size of the reinforcing phase (WC) in the matrix (Co). This resulted in a WC-17wt.%Co particle containing a characteristic WC grain in the order of 350 nm in the core with the Co outer coating of 1–2 μm thick, making the powder particle as nanocrystalline. HVOF deposited coatings of the nanocrystalline and microcrystalline powders were examined for microhardness, fracture toughness, sliding abrasion (ASTM G133-05) and dry-sand rubber wheel abrasion (ASTM G65-04) wear performance. The wear rate under various loads and sliding distances was studied. In both the coatings, it was found that the wear rate increased with increasing applied loads, while it decreased with increasing sliding distances. 3D surface analysis of the wear tracks using atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed two distinctive mechanisms associated with the two coatings after abrasive wear. The improved wear resistance was attributed to the higher hardness value of the nanostructured WC-17wt.%Co coating. It was also found that the nanostructured WC-17wt.%Co coating has about twice the toughness of the conventional microstructured coating counterpart. The extent of the WC decarburization and the dissolution of Co in the coatings were also studied.

The tribological properties of parts surface, namely their wear resistance and friction properties, are in many cases determining for their proper function. To improve surface properties, it is possible to create hard, wear resistant coatings by thermal spray technologies. Using these versatile coatings it is possible to increase parts lifetime, reliability and safety. The thermally sprayed cermet composite coatings show, thanks to their specific properties, excellent resistance to abrasive and erosive wear, as well as corrosion resistance. To predict the behavior, lifetime and application area of thermally sprayed cermet coatings it is necessary to completely understand the relationships between technology, process parameters, microstructure and properties of the coatings. The finding of these relationships and use this understanding to develop deposits with improved wear resistance for coating of various applications is the main aim of the presented work. It was done by studying the coatings microstructure and mechanical properties. Four different tests of wear resistance were done to study the mechanism of surface degradation, to confirm the results of mechanical testing and to predict the lifetime of coated parts - the abrasive wear performance of the coatings was assessed using a dry/sand rubber wheel test according to ASTM G-65, wet slurry abrasion test according to ASTM G-75, pin-on-disc test according to ASTM G-99 and erosion wear resistance for three impact angles. On the basis of obtained data the new possibilities of coatings application was determined, tested and implemented.

Surface coating is sharing the responsibility between coating and substrate, which enhances the surface properties such as strength, hot hardness and toughness, wear resistance, antifriction and chemical inertness. The present work is focused on wear behavior of Mild Steel substrate material deposited with Titanium dioxide-30 wt % of Inconel718 incorporating plasma spray process. These composite coatings were subjected to slurry erosion wear test by simulating the corrosive-erosive atmosphere by mixing of silica sand and 3.5 percent of NaCl in distilled water. Under identical conditions, coated mild steels gave better wear resistance compared to uncoated sample.

Mg alloys are promising biomedical metal due to their natural degradability, good processability, and favorable mechanical properties. However, the poor corrosion resistance limits their further clinical applications. In this study, the combined strategies of surface chemical treatment and layer-by-layer self-assembly were used to prepare composite coatings on Mg alloys to improve the biocorrosion resistance. Specially, alkalized AZ91 Mg alloy generated chemical linkage with silane via Si–O–Mg covalent bond at the interface. Subsequently, Si–OH group from silane formed a crosslinked silane layer by Si–O–Si network. Further chemical assembly with graphene oxide (GO), lengthened the diffusion pathway of corrosive medium. The chemically assembled composite coatings could firmly bond to Mg alloy substrate, which persistently and effectively acted as compact barriers against corrosion propagation. Improved biocorrosion resistance of AZ91 Mg alloy with self-assembly composite coatings of silane/GO was subsequently confirmed by immersion tests. Besides, the Mg alloy exhibited good wear resistance due to outside layer of GO with a lubricant effect. Cell viability of higher than 75% had also been found for the alloy with self-assembly composite coatings, which showed good cytocompatibility.
