Influences of the microstructure on the wear resistance of cobalt-based ahoy coatings obtained by plasma transferred arc process

The microstructure, substructure, and wear characteristic of cobalt-based alloy coatings obtained by plasma transferred arc (PTA) process were investigated using optical metallurgical microscope, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and dry sand abrasion tester (DSAT). The aging effect on the structure and wear resistance of the cobalt-based PTA coating was also studied. The results show that the as-welded coating consists of cobalt-based solid solution with face-centered cubic structure and hexagonal (Cr, Fe)7C3. There are a lot of stacking faults existing in the cobalt-based solid solution. After aging at 600℃ for 60 h, the microstructure becomes coarse, and another carbide (Cr, Fe)23C6 precipitates. As a result, the wear mass loss of the aged sample is higher than that of the as-welded sample.     

Effect of nano-CeO2 on cobalt-based alloy laser coatings

Cobalt-based alloy coatings with/without nano-CeO₂ addition prepared by a 5 kW CO₂ laser on Q235 low carbon steel were introduced. The effects of nanoparticles on the macro-quality, microstructure, phase composition, and wear resistance of the coatings were investigated. The microstructure and phases composition of the coatings were analyzed using Olympus-Pme-3 type microscope, Philip Xl 30 type scanning electron microscope and XD-3A type X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The wear resistance was tested using MM-200 type sliding wear machine, and the wear mechanism was analyzed by JSM-35C type scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that defect (such as crack, gas hole, etc.) -free coatings were obtained. There existed γ-Co and Cr₂₃C₆ in cobalt-based alloy coatings. Another two phases of CeCo₂ and -Co were identified with nanoparticles addition. Fine microstructure and equiaxed dendrite were obtained by adding nano-CeO₂. The relative wear resistance is improved with the increased amount of nano-CeO₂, and the coatings with the best wear resistance when laser power was 2.0 kW by adding 1.5 wt.% CeO₂. The mechanism was found from abrasive/adhesive wear to fretting wear. The wear resistance decreased with 2.0 wt.% CeO₂ addition.     

Effects of Pb and Cu additives on microstructure and wear corrosion resistance behaviour of PM Al–Si alloys

Abstract

The wear and wear corrosion resistance behaviour of Al–20Si–XPb–YCu (X=0–10 wt-%, Y=0–3 wt-%) alloys fabricated by a powder metallurgy (PM) technique and subsequent heat treatments were evaluated by a block on ring tribotest. The microstructure of all aluminium alloys was observed by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy with X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy. The effects of applied potentials and environments including dry air and 3.5 wt-%NaCl aqueous solution were studied. The results of microstructure analysis indicated that Pb exhibited a bimodal distribution in the Pb containing alloys, and Cu particles become to form the intermetallic phase CuAl₂. Furthermore, the hardness rises significantly for both Pb and Cu containing alloys only after solid solution quenching treatment. The wear and corrosion results showed that the addition of both lead and copper would improve the wear resistance but lead to a higher corrosion rate whereas heat treatment had a beneficial effect of reducing the corrosion rate of most alloys with the exception of Al–Si alloy. Furthermore, by comparison of all alloys after heat treatment, the wear corrosion resistance of Al–Si alloy was inferior to the other alloys; consequent additions of Pb and Cu further improved its wear corrosion resistance. Moreover, at an anodic potential, the wear corrosion rate and current density of both Al–Si and Al–Si–Cu alloys containing particle Pb decrease significantly owing to a corrosion product layer composed of Al, O and Pb elements.

Microstructure and properties of thermal-sprayed NiCrWRE coatings

The powders of NiCrW and NiCrWRE alloys were flame sprayed on a medium-carbon steel substrate by thermal spray welding. The micro- structure and tribological behavior of coatings were studied experimentally by means of scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, field emission gun scanning electron microscope （FEGSEM）, and wear tests. The addition of CeO2 modifies the coating morphology from a needle-like structure to a roughly cubic morphology; the refining and purifying effect of rare earth elements makes the microstmcture more compact and finer. Analysis of the worn surfaces reveals that the coatings with CeO2 addition show improved abrasive wear resistance over those without CeO2. By adding CeO2, the hardness of the coatings is significantly increased, and the wear resistance of the coatings is enhanced.
