Al-Cu-Fe-B quasicrystalline and Mo coatings were obtained on the mild steel and brass substrates by thermal spraying routes for the purpose of replacement of Mo coatings with quasicrystalline ones. Quasicrystalline coatings were prepared by air plasma spraying and/or HVOF (High Velocity Oxygen Fuel) techniques followed by subsequent heat treatment, and Mo coatings, wire flame spraying. For comparative studies of important properties for industrial application, mechanical properties, bonding strength, surface energy, and tribological behavior were investigated based on microstructural characterization. Basic mechanical properties such as hardness, fracture toughness, and elastic modulus of quasicrystalline coating showed comparable values with those of Mo coatings. De-bonding tests of coatings deposited onto brass substrate indicated that the bonding strength of quasicrystalline coatings obtained by HVOF techniques exhibit higher value to Mo coatings. Non-sticking property analogized from surface energy calculation and friction coefficient of quasicrystalline coatings also showed better performance during the tests. It is suggested from this investigation that the quasicrystalline coating can be effectively used as a replacement of the Mo coating, which has shown a recent steep price rise and problems of accidental existence of minor environment harmful elements such as Cr6+, Pb, Cd, and Hg.

Abstract In thermal spraying of metal-polymer coatings, the processes of polymers oxidation and destruction can have special features, as the temperature of heating of the filler particles can significantly exceed the temperature of destruction of the polymer binder. Hence, the need to study the features of the process of formation of thermal sprayed coatings from filled polymers and their physico-chemical, mechanical and service properties. This paper describes the influence of a filler composition and conditions of flame spraying on a structure and mechanical properties of composite polymer coatings. It is observed that addition of 5-10 vol. % of Fe-Ni-B alloy powder to low-pressure polyethylene polymer matrices, improves the wear resistance of thermal sprayed coatings 1.2-1.3 times under the conditions of gas-abrasive wear, compared to purely polymer coating, owing to the combination of the higher hardness of the coating with the high damping properties of the polymer matrix.

Thermal spraying of metal materials is one of the key applications of this technology in industry for over a hundred years. The variety of metal-based feedstocks (powders and wires) used for thermal spray is incredibly large and utilization covers abrasion and corrosion protection, as well as tribological and electrical applications. Spraying metals using suspension- or precursor-based thermal spray methods is a relatively new and unusual approach. This publication deals with three metal types, a NiCr 80/20, copper (Cu), and silver (Ag), sprayed as fine-grained powders dispersed in aqueous solvent. Suspensions were sprayed by means of high-velocity suspension spraying (HVSFS) employing a modified TopGun system. The aim was to prepare thin and dense metal coatings (10–70 µm) and to evaluate the process limits regarding the oxygen content of the coatings. In case of Cu and Ag, possible applications demand high purity with low oxidation of the coating to achieve for instance a high electrical conductivity or catalytic activity. For NiCr however, it was found that coatings with a fine dispersion of oxides can be usable for applications where a tunable resistivity is in demand. The paper describes the suspension preparation and presents results of spray experiments performed on metal substrates. Results are evaluated with respect to the phase composition and the achieved coating morphology. It turns out that the oxidation content and spray efficiency is strongly controlled by the oxygen fuel ratio and spray distance.

In the field of the development of modern techniques, which improve and/or regenerate the component’s surface properties, High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) spraying of carbides or metals and their alloys is a good alternative method to other conventional surface engineering ones, including magnesium foundry alloys. Coatings manufactured by thermal spraying are used to improve the durability and life time of machine parts, both the new and regenerated ones, by changing the surface layer properties. In this work the results of HVOF sprayed coatings deposited onto AZ31 magnesium alloy substrate are reported. The feeding material was composite powder Cr3C2–NiCr. The coatings were investigated in terms of their microstructure and selected mechanical properties. For structure examinations, microscopy studies (light and scanning ones) were used as well as phase composition analysis. In the case of mechanical properties, the wear resistance was determined also microhardness was measured.

New coatings resistant to corrosion in high-temperature molten zinc aluminum were prepared by supersonic flame spraying of various composite powders. These composite powders were prepared by mixing, granulation, and heat treatment of various proportions of Mo–B4C powder and WC and Co powder. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF–STEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and mechanical analysis were used to study the effects of Mo–B4C on the microstructure, phase, porosity, bonding strength, and elastic modulus of the composite powder and coating. Results show that the addition of an appropriate quantity of Mo–B4C reacts with Co to form ternary borides CoMo2B2 and CoMoB. Ternary boride forms a perfect continuous interface, improving the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance property of the coating. When the amount of Mo–B4C added was 35.2%, the mechanical properties of the prepared coating reached optimal values: minimum porosity of 0.31 ± 0.15%, coating bonding strength of 77.81 ± 1.77 MPa, nanoindentation hardness of 20.12 ± 1.85 GPa, Young’s modulus of 281.52 ± 30.22 GPa, and fracture toughness of 6.38 ± 0.45 MPa·m1/2.

Hastelloy C-276 coating was deposited on stainless steel 1.4923 using HP/HVOF (High Pressure / High Velocity Oxygen Fuel) thermal spraying technology to increase high corrosion resistance. Possible influence of high temperature corrosion on local mechanical properties change of Hastelloy C-276 was also evaluated in this article. High temperature corrosion is corrosion in the molten salts environment. The salt mixture of 59 % Na2SO4 with 34.5 % KCl and 6.5 % NaCl was used in this study. The selected exposure temperatures were 525 °C and 575 °C and the tests for both temperatures were conducted in autoclave for the time interval of 168 h. The coating and salt mixture layer was analyzed using scanning electron microscope (SEM), EDS analysis and nanoindentor (MTS Nanoindenter XP). High temperature resistance of Hastelloy C-276 coating was evaluated based on the changes in coating surface and according to the occurrence of various phases created on the coating surface during this test. It can be assumed that Hastelloy C-276 coating deposited by HVOF technology shows selective oxidation under the salt film.

Potential relations of tribological characteristics of aluminum antifriction alloys with their compositions and mechanical properties were investigated. In this regard, the properties of eight aluminum alloys containing tin from 5.4% to 11% doped with lead, copper, silicon, zinc, magnesium, and titanium were studied. Mechanical properties such as hardness, strength, relative extension, and impact strength were analyzed. Within the tribological tests seizure load and wear of material were evaluated and secondary structures were studied afterwards. The absence of a definitive correlation between tribological behavior and mechanical properties was shown. It was determined that doping tin over 6% is excessive. The seizure load of the alloys increases with the magnesium content. Secondary structures of the alloys with higher wear rates contain one order less magnesium and tin.
