Abstract
This study investigated the simultaneous effect of the consumable rod's preprocessing heat treatment conditions (homogenization, solid solution, and artificial aging treatment) and severe plastic deformation on the properties of Al-Si-Cu alloy friction surfaced on a commercially pure aluminum alloy substrate. The friction-surfaced coating's microstructural evolution, mechanical properties, and wear resistance were evaluated. The results showed that coatings fabricated using artificially aging (T6)-treated consumable rods resulted in the highest coating width (17.02±0.83 mm) and maximum efficiency (39.78 ± 1.23 %). Friction surfacing using artificially aged and solid solution-treated consumable rods results in minimum (2.78 ± 0.28 µm) and maximum (6.32±0.34 µm) coating grain sizes, respectively. Friction surfacing using T6-treated consumable rods results in smaller, more uniformly distributed Si particles in the coating microstructure. Compared to the other consumable rods, the coatings fabricated using T6-treated consumable rods result in the highest hardness (110.54±10.29 HV0.1), maximum bond strength (14.15±0.75 kN), and lowest wear rate (0.20±0.03 µg/Nm).
