The article deals with Ni base coatings deposited on aluminium substrate applying the method of plasma spray. The purpose of the conducted research is to improve the physical and mechanical properties of coatings on the surface of aluminium alloy work pieces. Spraying on aluminium alloys encounters serious problems, and therefore this work analyses the ways to make the situation more favourable. Before spraying, the surfaces of substrates were modified employing chemical and mechanical pre-treatment methods. The aim of pre-treating aluminium alloys was to remove oxide layers from the aluminium surface. Coating microstructures and porosity were characterised applying optical microscopy. Differences in the roughness of pre-treated surfaces have been determined referring to profilometry. The paper investigates the influence of the adhesion of plasma spray coatings on aluminium surface pretreatment. Microhardness technique was applied for measuring the hardness of coatings. The study also describes and compares the mechanical properties of Ni base coatings deposited on different pre-treated aluminium substrates using plasma spray. Santrauka Straipsnyje nagrinėjamas Ni-Cr-Si-B dangos dengimas ant aliuminio substratų plazminiu purškimo būdu. Tyrimo tikslas – sukurti aliuminio lydinių paviršiuje geresnių fizinių ir mechaninių savybių dangas. Aliuminio lydinių terminį purškimą apsunkina tanki, aukštos lydymosi temperatūros oksido plėvelė substrato paviršiuje. Aliuminio substratų paviršiai prieš purškimą buvo apdorojami cheminiais ir mechaniniais apdorojimo būdais. Pagrindinis aliuminio lydinių apdorojimo tikslas buvo pašalinti oksidų sluoksnį nuo aliuminio paviršiaus ir paveikti substrato paviršiaus šiurkštumą. Aliuminio paviršiaus šiurkštis po apdorojimų buvo tiriamas profilometru. Dangų mikrostruktūra ir porėtumas buvo nagrinėjami optinės mikroskopijos būdu taikant fazių ir morfologijos analizės programą. Buvo nustatyta plazminio purškimo dangų adhezijos reikšmių priklausomybė nuo aliuminio paviršiaus apdorojimo būdų. Eksperimentinių tyrimų metu buvo analizuojama purškimo proceso technologinių parametrų įtaka užpurkštų dangų porėtumui ir kietumui.

This works deals with the deposition of Ti-Zr-Ni icosahedral quasicrystalline powders by low vacuum plasma spray technique and the performances of the resulting coating layers. The microstructure of the coatings, as analyzed by X-ray diffraction and TEM techniques, consisted of nanometer-sized W-Ti50Zr35Ni15 1/1 cubic approximant and TiZrNi Laves phases as well as a low volume fraction of submicrometer-sized ZrO2 phase. The absence of the icosahedral phase in the coating layers was explained by the loss of Ti during plasma spraying. The shift in the composition and the presence of the ZrO2 phase within the coating layers are believed to be responsible for the reduced microhardness and corrosion performances evaluated by electrochemical tests in a Hanks’ Balance Salt Solution at 37oC.

Abstract This paper presents the results of a study on the wear resistance of plasma spray coatings made from Cr2O3-TiO2-CaF2 powders. The composite powders used were produced by self-propagating high temperature synthesis. They were then applied under various conditions in order to optimize the material system, spray process, and application procedures. Based on the results of microstructural examination and wear testing, the thermally sprayed composite coatings have excellent wear resistance, good adhesion, and are self-lubricating at high temperatures.
