Abstract
The present study investigates the high temperature erosion behavior of HVOF sprayed composite coatings on T11 steel substrates by studying (Cr₃C₂-NiCr)Si and WC-Co/NiCrAlY coatings. Phase composition, cross sectional microstructure, mechanical properties, and erosion resistance were analyzed by XRD, EDS, SEM and three-dimensional optical profilography. The results demonstrate that the WC-Co/NiCrAlY coating has higher erosion resistance and oxidation stability for all temperatures and impact angles tested. Its enhanced performance in high temperature and erosive conditions is attributable to the formation of stable protective oxides such as Al₂O₃ and Cr₂O₃ and intermetallic phases such as Ni₃Al and Cr₃C₂. The NiCrAlY matrix prevents significant decarburization of WC particles, and hence phase stability and oxidation resistance. The (Cr₃C₂-NiCr)Si coating has higher microhardness due to silicide phases, but is more vulnerable to direct impacts and inferior oxidation resistance. The phase transformations for both coatings are favorable at elevated temperatures which enhances erosion resistance. The WC-Co/NiCrAlY coating is smooth and shallower in erosion craters and is perfectly suited for harsh environments demanding high toughness, impact resistance and oxidation stability. For applications in which high hardness is needed in less severe conditions, the (Cr₃C₂-NiCr)Si coating is more suitable.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Refractory Metals and Hard Materials (IJRMHM) publishes original research articles concerned with all aspects of refractory metals and hard materials. Refractory metals are defined as metals with melting points higher than 1800 °C. These are tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, tantalum, niobium, hafnium, and rhenium, as well as many compounds and alloys based thereupon. Hard materials that are included in the scope of this journal are defined as materials with hardness values higher than 1000 kg/mm2, primarily intended for applications as manufacturing tools or wear resistant components in mechanical systems. Thus they encompass carbides, nitrides and borides of metals, and related compounds. A special focus of this journal is put on the family of hardmetals, which is also known as cemented tungsten carbide, and cermets which are based on titanium carbide and carbonitrides with or without a metal binder. Ceramics and superhard materials including diamond and cubic boron nitride may also be accepted provided the subject material is presented as hard materials as defined above.
