Tribological behaviour of mechanically synthesized titanium-boron carbide nanostructured coating

In this paper, titanium-boron carbide (Ti/B4C) nanocomposite coatings with different B4C nanoparticles contents were fabricated by surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) method by using B4C nanoparticles with average nanoparticle size of 40 nm. The characteristics of the nanopowder and coatings were evaluated by microhardness test, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Friction and wear performances of nanocomposite coatings and pure titanium substrate were comparatively investigated, with the effect of the boron carbide content on the friction and wear behaviours to be emphasized. The results show the microhardness, friction and wear behaviours of nanocomposite coatings are closely related with boron carbide nanoparticle content. Nanocomposite coating with low B4C content shows somewhat (slight) increased microhardness and wear resistance than pure titanium substrate, while nanocomposite coating with high B4C content has much better (sharp increase) wear resistance than pure titanium substrate. The effect of B4C nanoparticles on microhardness and wear resistance was discussed.     

Effect of Flame Conditions on Crystalline Structure of TiO2 in Liquid Flame Spraying

Nanostructured TiO2 is a most promising functional ceramic owing to its potential utilization in photocatalytical, optical and electrical applications. Nanostructured TiO2 coating was deposited through thermal spraying with liquid feedstock. Two types of crystalline structures were present in the synthesized TiO2 coating including anatase phase and rutile phase.The effect of spray flame conditions on the crystalline structure was investigated in order to control the crystalline structure of the coating. The results showed that spray distance, flame power and precursor concentration in the liquid feedstock significantly influenced phase constitutions and grain size in the coating. Anatase phase was formed at spray distance from 150 to 250mm, while rutile phase was evidently observed in the coating deposited at 100 mm. The results suggested that anatase phase was firstly formed in the coating, and rutile phase resulted from the transformation of the deposited anatase phase. The phase transformation from anatase to rutile occurred through the annealing effect of spraying flame. The control of the phase formation can be realized through flame condition and spray distance.

Comparison of the coatings deposited using Ti and B4C powder by reactive plasma spraying in air and low pressure

The coatings were deposited by reactive plasma spraying (RPS) in air and low-pressure plasma spraying (LPPS) based on the reaction between Ti and B₄C powder, respectively. The thermal spray powder of Ti and B₄C added with powder Cr (metallic binder) in air is compared with that without powder Cr addition in the low pressure. (Prior to deposition, the powder was screened and separated for RPS whereas spray drying, sintering and sieving were done for LPPS.) The phase composition and the microstructure of coatings were studied by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The anti-corrosion property of coatings was also investigated. It is found that the coating prepared by RPS, which is more densification, is composed of TiN, TiB₂, and a small phase fraction of titanium oxides. The composition of the coating deposited by reactive LPPS is TiB₂, Ti(C, N), Ti₄N_3−x and impurity phase of Ti₅Si₃. There is no appearance of titanium oxides in low pressure. The coatings have the typical lamellar structure and adhere to the bond coating well. The mean Vickers microhardness value of the coating deposited by RPS is higher than that of the coating deposited by LPPS. Furthermore, the corrosion resistance of the coating deposited by RPS is superior to that of the coating prepared by LPPS in near neutral 3.5 wt% NaCl electrolyte.
