Abrasive wear characteristics and mechanisms of Al2O3／PA1010 composite coatings

The abrasive wear characteristics of Al2O3/PA1010 composite coatings on the surface of quenched and low-temperature temper steel 45 were tested on the tumplate abrasive wear testing machine and the same uncoated steel 45 was used as a reference material. Experimental results showed that the abrasive wear resistance of Al2O3/PA 1010 composite coatings has a good linear relationship with the volume fraction of Al2O3 particles in Al2O3/PA1010 composite coatings, and the linear correlative coefficient is 0.979. Under the experimental conditions, the size of Al2O3 particles (40.5-161.0μm) has little influence on the abrasive wear resistance of Al2O3/PA1010 composite coatings. By treating the surface of Al2O3 parti-cles with a suitable bonding agent, the distribution of Al2O3 particles in matrix PA1010 is more homogeneous and the bonding state between Al2O3 particles and matrix PA1010 is better. Therefore, the Al2O3 particles in Al2O3/PA1010 compos-ite coatings make the Al2O3/PA1010 composite coatings have better abrasive wear resistance than PA1010 coatings. The wear resistance of Al2O3/PA1010 composite coatings is about 45% compared with that of steel 45.

Experimental results showed that the abrasive wear resistance of Al2O3//PAl010 composite coatings has a good linear relationship with the volume fraction of Al2O3 particles in Al2O3/PAl010 composite coatings, and the linear correlative coefficient is 0.979. Under the experimental conditions, the size of Al2O3 particles (40.5-161.0 μm) has little influence on the abrasive wear resistance of Al2O3/PA l010 composite coatings. By treating the surface of Al2O3 particles with a suitable bonding agent, the distribution of Al2O3 particles in matrix PAl010 is more homogeneous and the bonding state between Al2O3 particles and matrix PAl010 is better. Therefore, the ml2O3 particles in Al2O3/PA1010 composite coatings make the Al2O3/PAl010 composite coatings have better abrasive wear resistance than PA1010 coatings. The wear resistance of Al2O3/PA 1010 composite coatings is about 45% compared with that of steel 45.
