Abstract
WC-Ni coating possesses superior wear and corrosion resistance and it can be widely used on the surface of pump shafts in the petrochemical field, crusher hammers and liners in mining machinery to prevent the base metal from being damaged. In this study, microstructure, mechanical properties of HVOF sprayed WC-10Ni coating and its systematically properties of friction and wear under different combinations of counterparts and test environments were examined. The primary phase of the coating was WC, accompanied by only traces of W2C and NiO. The coating had a porosity as low as 0.74 %, the surface hardness of approximately 1264 HV0.3, and the bonding strength as high as 68 MPa between coating and substrate. WC-10Ni coating/ceramic tribo-pairs exhibited lower friction coefficients in corrosive environments than in dry condition. WC-10Ni/Al2O3 and WC-10Ni/SiC tribo-pairs showed friction coefficients below 0.15 in NaOH and HCl environments, while the wear rates of WC-10Ni coating after sliding against Al2O3 was (3.36–11.9) × 10−8 mm3/N·m. On the whole, WC-10Ni/SiC tribo-pair possessed excellent tribological properties in NaOH environment, while WC-10Ni/Al2O3 tribo-pair was more suitable for applicating in NaCl and HCl tribo-corrosive environments.
期刊介绍:
Wear journal is dedicated to the advancement of basic and applied knowledge concerning the nature of wear of materials. Broadly, topics of interest range from development of fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of wear to innovative solutions to practical engineering problems. Authors of experimental studies are expected to comment on the repeatability of the data, and whenever possible, conduct multiple measurements under similar testing conditions. Further, Wear embraces the highest standards of professional ethics, and the detection of matching content, either in written or graphical form, from other publications by the current authors or by others, may result in rejection.
