Abstract
In this paper, Laser cladding was used to deposit TiZrHfNbTaMox RHEA coatings (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) on TC4 substrate to investigate the effect of Mo on their microstructure, hardness, tribological, and corrosion properties. Lamellar microstructural features were identified within the coating, and the formation of twin structures at the coating–substrate interface was observed by TEM; these microstructural characteristics are believed to collectively contribute to the enhancement of the overall performance of the coating. Mo addition notably improves the hardness and wear resistance of the coatings. Especially the TiZrHfNbTaMo0.75 coating exhibits excellent performance under both dry sliding friction wear conditions and a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution corrosion wear conditions. A synergistic effect of oxidation, adhesion, and abrasion is responsible for the friction-corrosion mechanism of Mo-containing coatings. Outstanding corrosion resistance of the TiZrHfNbTaMo1 coating is observed in the 3.5 wt% NaCl solution.
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.
