Abstract
Ni/WC composite coatings were prepared by combining thermal spraying and electron beam remelting. Characterization methods such as SEM, EBSD and XRD were used. The effect of electron beam remelting beam current on the corrosion and wear resistance of Ni/WC composite coatings was investigated. The microstructure showed that hard carbides and borides such as W2C, Cr23C6, and M3B were generated within the remelted coating. Compared to the thermal spray specimens, the hardness of the 16 mA specimen was increased by a factor of 1.47, and the hardness of the 22 mA specimen was also increased by a factor of 1.14. The results of the corrosion experiments showed that the 16 mA specimen had the lowest corrosion current density and the highest corrosion potential, which showed the best corrosion resistance. Wear experiments were carried out by using SiC balls as the counterbodies. The results showed that the wear resistance of both 16 mA and 22 mA specimens under dry friction with 3.5 % NaCl solution conditions was improved compared to the thermal spray coating. The 22 mA specimens showed more obvious subsurface damage. The wear mechanism of thermal spray coatings is mainly abrasive, and the wear mechanism of remelted coatings is mainly abrasive and adhesive.
期刊介绍:
Surface and Coatings Technology is an international archival journal publishing scientific papers on significant developments in surface and interface engineering to modify and improve the surface properties of materials for protection in demanding contact conditions or aggressive environments, or for enhanced functional performance. Contributions range from original scientific articles concerned with fundamental and applied aspects of research or direct applications of metallic, inorganic, organic and composite coatings, to invited reviews of current technology in specific areas. Papers submitted to this journal are expected to be in line with the following aspects in processes, and properties/performance:
A. Processes: Physical and chemical vapour deposition techniques, thermal and plasma spraying, surface modification by directed energy techniques such as ion, electron and laser beams, thermo-chemical treatment, wet chemical and electrochemical processes such as plating, sol-gel coating, anodization, plasma electrolytic oxidation, etc., but excluding painting.
B. Properties/performance: friction performance, wear resistance (e.g., abrasion, erosion, fretting, etc), corrosion and oxidation resistance, thermal protection, diffusion resistance, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, and properties relevant to smart materials behaviour and enhanced multifunctional performance for environmental, energy and medical applications, but excluding device aspects.
