Thermal spray technology allows providing wear-resistant coating on the surface of mechanical components. In this study, wear characteristics of thermally sprayed Al/SiC composite coatings were evaluated. These Al/SiC composite coatings reinforced with SiC particles were fabricated on Al 6061 substrate by thermal spray process. Dry sliding wear tests were performed using the varied sliding speeds and applied loads. Wear behavior of these Al/SiC composite coatings were investigated using scanning electron microscope(SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX) and X-ray diffraction(XRD).

Thermal spray technology provides wear-resistant coating on the surface of mechanical components. In this study, wear characteristics of SiCp reinforced Al matrix composite coatings were evaluated. SiCp reinforced Al matrix composite coatings were fabricated using the mixed powders which have different fraction of the SiC reinforcement, 0, 20, 40 and 60 vol% on Al 6061 substrate by thermal spray process. Dry sliding wear tests were performed on these coatings using varied sliding speeds and applied loads. Wear behavior of these Al-based composite coatings were investigated using scanning electron microscope(SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX) and X-ray diffraction(XRD). The composites coatings reinforced with 40 vol% of SiC particles showed the most excellent wear resistance. Although the wear rate increased according to the increase in the applied load, it decreased according to the increase in the sliding speed. The major wear behavior of the SiCp reinforced Al matrix composite coatings is transferred from the adhesive wear to the abrasive wear according to the increase in the sliding speed and the applied load. These results were significantly influenced by the formation of mechanical mixed layer(MML).

SiC particulates reinforced with Al matrix composites were fabricated using a thermal spray process. In addition, the dry sliding wear behavior was investigated using various sliding speeds and applied loads. Premixed Al and SiC powder was sprayed onto an Al6061 substrate by flame spraying, and dry sliding wear tests were performed under varying sliding speed and applied load conditions. Wear behavior of the composites were studied using a scanning electron microscope(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and a surface roughness tester.

SiC particulates reinforced Al matrix composites were fabricated by thermal spray process, and the dry sliding wear behavior against four different counterparts was investigated under a varying of the sliding speed and the applied load conditions. Al/SiC composites were fabricated by flame spraying, and the dry sliding wear tests were performed using the sliding speed of 0.4 m/s and 0.8 m/s at the applied load of 3 N. Sliding distance was kept at 1000 m for all the tests. Al2O3, ZrO2, Si3N4 and AISI 52100 balls were used as the counterparts. Wear tracks on the Al/SiC composites were investigated using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). It was revealed that wear behavior of Al/SiC composites was much influenced by counterpart materials.

In this study, copper powder was reinforced with different weight percentages of Al2O3 particles (0, 5, 10, and 15 wt.% Al2O3 coated Ag) to produce Cu-Al2O3 composites by mechanical alloying and uniaxial cold pressing/sintering route. Electro-less deposition was used to coat Al2O3 particles with Ag. The microstructure of the consolidated samples was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) elemental mapping. The porosity, microhardness, and wear behavior of the consolidated samples were also investigated as a function of Al2O3 content. The EDX mapping images reveal that the Al2O3 reinforcement particles were homogeneously distributed into the Cu matrix. Microstructural analysis shows that the addition of Al2O3 coated Ag particles improves density of the composites coating. SEM micrographs result shows that slight porosities exist in the composites produced. Furthermore, the average hardness of the composite coatings varies from 72.3 to 187.6 HV as Al2O3 content increases from 0 to 15 wt.%. The wear test results showed that the composite with higher Al2O3 content 15 wt.% showed the best wear resistance.

Abstract The adhesion of coatings on a given substrate has fundamental importance on the functionality of a coating/substrate system. The current paper presents the adhesion strength results of FeCr and CoCr-based deposits produced by electric arc thermal spray process on carbon steel, with an intermediate layer of 95Ni5Al. Three chemical compositions were tested for coating deposition and was characterized using plate and tube specimens made of carbon steel UNS G10200 to result in a screening of performance. Microstructural evaluation by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were performed. Coating strength was measured using standard pull-off test method. The corrosion resistance was analyzed with salt spray exposure, electrochemical polarization and impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests. The adhesion strength of FeCr and CoCr alloy coatings shows an overall average tensile strength of 27.2 MPa. All sealed conditions presented low corrosion and the samples with epoxy sealant exhibited a high resistance against corrosion. The X-ray diffraction results have revealed the presence of alpha and gamma FeCr alloys and chromite as deposited phases after the coating process.

The wear behavior of powder metallurgical Ti-47Al-2Cr-0.2Mo alloy prepared by pre-alloyed powders was investigated using pin-on-disk wear tests in different environments, viz, argon, 4% hydrogen in nitrogen, air and oxygen. The disk material was sinter-hot isostatically pressed, yttria-stabilized zirconia. Lower wear rates were found for the TiAl pins in oxygen-free environments, indicating that oxygen play a key role in the wear rate. In contrast, the presence of molecular hydrogen and moisture have nearly no effect. A combination of X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy indicated that the abrasive particles present mainly consisted of the zirconia. In addition, zirconia particles were embedded in the worn tips of the TiAl pins and mixed into the tribolayers. The high stress and high contact temperature at the wear surface made the zirconia disk undergo a phase transformation during the dry sliding wear, accompanied by grain pullout, surface uplifting and microcracking. The hard tribolayer with embedded zirconia particles provides some protection against further wear of the TiAl pin. The highly localized, repetitive shear stress during the wear tests may bring about amorphous TiAl in the wear debris. The main wear mechanisms were abrasive wear of two-body and three-body, some delamination and plastic deformation.
