Effects of Glass Glaze on Wear Resistance of Cr2O3 Ceramic Coating
In this paper, the thermal spraying powder, which was made by sintering, was respectively mixed by Cr2O3 and glass glaze at the mass ratio of 85%, 95%, and 100%.The three mixed powders were sprayed on the surface of 45 steel by CP-3000 subsonic spray gun. Then the samples were heated in the resistance furnace until the temperature reached 1050°C. At room temperature,the wear resistance of these three kinds of coatings were investigated along with load and time changing under water lubricating. The impact of glass glaze on coatings was found after analyzing the change of the weight loss of the coatings. The result showed that there was not the shedding of splat except some brittle micro-peeling at the rim of splat and furrow on the surface of 85% and 95% Cr2O3 ceramic coatings. The wear resistance of the coatings was improved with the increase of the percentage of glass glaze , and began to desend when the percentage arrived at a certain degree. It indicated that the wear resistance was the best when the percentage was about 95% in this experiment.
