Abstract
In this work, the friction-reduction and anti-wear (NiCr-20Cr3C2)-2Al-XAg coatings were prepared by laser cladding. The correlations among composition, microstructure, hardness and tribological performance in chloride molten salts at high temperature were investigated. The coatings exhibit a dense microstructure, with Ag notably enriching at the overlap regions. As the Ag content increases, both the friction coefficient and wear rate initially decrease and then rise. The synergistic effects of the ceramic phase, lubricating Ag, and corrosion-resistant phases of Al2O3 and Cr2O3 significantly enhance the tribological performance of the coatings in chloride molten salts. Among these, the (NiCr-20Cr3C2)-2Al-5Ag coating demonstrates outstanding friction-reducing and anti-wear properties, exhibiting an average friction coefficient of 0.11 and a wear rate of 9.8 × 10−6 mm3/N·m.
期刊介绍:
Tribology is the science of rubbing surfaces and contributes to every facet of our everyday life, from live cell friction to engine lubrication and seismology. As such tribology is truly multidisciplinary and this extraordinary breadth of scientific interest is reflected in the scope of Tribology International.
Tribology International seeks to publish original research papers of the highest scientific quality to provide an archival resource for scientists from all backgrounds. Written contributions are invited reporting experimental and modelling studies both in established areas of tribology and emerging fields. Scientific topics include the physics or chemistry of tribo-surfaces, bio-tribology, surface engineering and materials, contact mechanics, nano-tribology, lubricants and hydrodynamic lubrication.
