The Effect of Plasma Spray Parameters on the Quality of Al-Ni Coatings
Source abstract
Abstract
The plasma spray method is widely utilized for enhancing wear, surface fatigue, and corrosion properties through coating. The mechanical and surface characteristics of the resulting coating are contingent upon various spraying parameters, including arc current, working current, spraying distance, and plasma gun traversing speed. This study investigates the impact of these manufacturing parameters on the porosity, hardness, and bond strength of a coating produced from an Al-Ni alloy applied to a Q235 steel substrate. An extensive experimental program was conducted to analyze the influence of these parameters on the coating properties. Consequently, a preferred combination of parameters, identified through a comprehensive evaluation method, yielded greater performance benefits compared to the orthogonal experimental groups.
