Spraying Process

A new type of composite coating (321—Al coating) was prepared by using the 321 austenitic stainless steel wire feed stock as the anode and aluminum wire as the cathode in arc spraying process. In order to compare with the new composite coating, the traditional 321 coating with twin 321 stainless steel wires was fabricated. The microstructure and wear resistance of the coatings were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersion spectroscope (EDS) and MM-200 ring-block type sliding wear tester. Results showed that, except for the aluminum phase addition in the 321—Al coating, no other extra phases produce in comparing with the 321 coating. However, due to the additional aluminum, the 321—Al coating performs quite different microstructure characteristics and tribological behavior. The oxygen content and microhardness of the 321—Al coating are lower than that of the 321 coating, but wear losses are pretty much under the oil lubricated sliding condition. The effect of the microstructure on the wear behavior of the 321—Al coating was also discussed, which is mainly relevant to the characteristic of “ductile aluminum and hard stainless steel composite phases inter-depositing”.

High velocity arc spraying was used to prepare FeCrAl/Al composite coating on Q235 steel substrate by simultaneously spraying FeCrAl wire as the anode and Al wire as the cathode. The composite coating was sprayed with varying voltage and current to obtain optimum coating characteristics. FeCrAl coating was also prepared for comparison purposes. The surface microstructure of the coatings was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The average microhardness of the coatings and the substrate was analyzed and compared. Corrosion resistance was investigated by means of electrochemical tests. The image results showed that a lamellar structure consisted of interwoven layers of FeCrAl and Al. Al and FeCr constituted the main phases with traces of oxides and AlFe intermetallic compounds. The average porosity was reduced and microhardness of the coatings was improved with increasing voltage and current. The FeCrAl/Al coating formed alternating layers of hard and ductile phases; the corrosion resistance of the coatings in the sodium chloride (NaCl) solution depended on the increase in Al content and spray parameters. The corrosion resistance tests indicated that FeCrAl/Al coating had a better corrosion resistance than the FeCrAl coating. FeCrAl/Al can be used to coat steel substrates and increase their corrosion resistance.

Enhance Wear Resistance

Ni-Co-W composite coatings modified by different contents of Co-based alloy powder in the Ni-based alloy with 35 wt.% WC (Ni35WC) were deposited on stainless steel by laser cladding. The influence of compositional and microstructural modification on the wear properties has been comparatively investigated by XRD, SEM, and EDS techniques. It was found that the austenite dendrites in the modified coating adding 50 wt.% Co-based alloy were refined and a lot of Cr23C6 or M23(C, B)6 compounds with fine lamellar feature were formed around austenitic grain boundaries or in the intergranular regions. The contribution of element Co to the modification of Ni35WC coating is that it cannot only promote the formation of more hard compounds to refine austenite grains, but also refine the size of precipitates, and change the phase type of eutectic structure as a result of disappeared Cr boride brittle phases. A noticeable improvement in wear resistance is obtained in the Ni35WC coating with 50 wt.% Co-based alloy, which makes the wear rate decreased by about 53 % and 30% by comparison to that of the substrate and the Ni35WC coating, respectively. It is suggested that the improvement is closely related to the composite coating being strengthened owing to the increase of coating hardness, formation of a fine-grained microstructure caused by Co, and fine hard precipitate phases in the eutectic structure.

In this paper, dense AZ91D/SiC composite coatings were fabricated by cold spraying. The microstructure and microhardness of the as-sprayed coatings were investigated. The results show that the content of SiC particles in the composite coating was 23.6 ± 7.5 vol.%. The microhardness of the composite coating was improved to 140 HV0.3 due to the enhancement of SiC particles, compared to 98 HV0.3 for the pure AZ91D coating. The wear behavior of the composite coating in an ambient condition was studied through a ball-on-disc dry sliding test system. The composite coating showed higher friction coefficient and lower wear rate than the pure AZ91D coating. The wear mechanism of the composite coating was discussed.

Data Variation

In this work, Al2O3-Al composite coatings with different compositions (Al2O3-5wt.% Al, Al2O3-10wt.% Al and Al2O3-15wt.% Al) were deposited by plasma spraying. The effect of Al addition on the mechanical properties of coatings was explored in terms of microhardness, fracture toughness and sliding wear rate. An additional statistical study of Weibull analysis was carried out for further investigating the mechanical data variation. The increase in Al addition was realized to show little effects to decrease porosity of coatings. With the increase in Al addition, the microhardness of coatings decreased from 869 to 742 Hν0.2 along with larger fluctuation in microhardness values indicated by lower Weibull modulus (5.7-10), whereas toughness of coatings was improved ranging from 2.7 to 4.1 MPa.m1/2. Friction tests showed that the Al additions effectively contribute to decrease the friction coefficient of coatings sliding against steel counterpart. Among various coatings, the Al2O3-15wt.% Al coating exhibits lowest friction coefficient but worst wear resistance. This may arise due to its significantly decreased microhardness.

Spraying Process

The paper presents the results of research on the production by means of arc spraying of composite coatings from the Fe-Al system with participation of in-situ intermetallic phases. The arc spraying process was carried out by simultaneously melting two different electrode wires, aluminum and steel. The aim of the research is to create protective coatings with a composite structure with a significant participation of FexAly as an intermetallic phases reinforcement. The synthesis of intermetallic phases takes place during the (in-situ) spraying process. Currently most coatings involving intermetallic phases are manufactured by different thermal spraying methods using coating materials in the form of prefabricated powders containing intermetallic phases. The obtained results showed the local occurrence of intermetallic phases from the Fe-Al system, and the dominant components of the structure have two phases, aluminum solid solutions in iron and iron in aluminum. The participation of intermetallic phases in the coating is relatively low, but its effect on the properties of the coating material is significant.

In the present study, plasma spray welding was used to prepare an in-situ niobium carbide (NbC) reinforced Ni-based composite coating on the low carbon steel, and the phase composition and the microstructure of the composite coatings were studied. The wear resistance and the wear mechanism of the composite coatings were also researched by the wear tests. The results showed that the main phases of the composite coating were NbC, γ-Ni, Cr23C6, Ni3Si, CrB, Cr5B3, Cr7C3 and FeNi3. A number of fine in-situ NbC particles and numerous chromium carbide particles were distributed in the γ-Ni matrix. The increase in the mass fraction of Nb and NiCr-Cr3C2 could lead to the increase in NbC particles in the composite coatings. Due to the high hardness of NbC and chromium carbides, the micro-hardness and the wear resistance of the composite coatings were advanced. The composite coating with the powder mixtures of 20% (Nb + NiCr-Cr3C2) and 80% NiCrBSi had the highest micro-hardness and the best wear resistance in this study. The average micro-hardness reached the maximum value 1025HV0.5. The volume loss was 39.2 mm3, which was merely 37% of that of the NiCrBSi coating and 6% of that of the substrate under the identical conditions.

Fe-based amorphous composite coating was deposited on the carbon steel substrate by arc spraying and then remelted by a plasma remelting system, in order to improve the mechanical properties of the coatings. The composition, microstructure, and properties of the composite coating were analyzed by means of the metallographic microscope, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and microhardness tester. The results showed that the amorphous composite coatings had more homogeneous and finer microstructure after the plasma remelting. The coating is metallurgically bonded with the substrate, and the hardness of the Fe-based amorphous composite coating is up to 1220 HV. The internal relationship between microhardness and microstructure has been discussed.
