Enhanced Fracture Toughness of WC-CoCr Thermally Sprayed Coatings by the Addition of NiCrFeSiBC and Mo and Its Influence on Sliding Wear Behavior
Source abstract
Abstract
Wear is a major issue in industry, particularly with metal components. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate methods that offer increased resistance to this phenomenon. In this research, three coating systems (pure WC-CoCr and WC-CoCr/NiCrFeSiBC+Mo, 88:12 and 83:17 wt.%) were thermally sprayed on an AISI 1018 steel substrate through the High-Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) process. The coatings were characterized using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) equipped with the energy dispersive spectroscope (EDS) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). An analysis of the wear rate for ball-on-flat linear reciprocating sliding tribological tests for the coatings was also carried out. The coating microstructure presents well-dispersed NiCrFeSiBC splats. The WC-CoCr/NiCrFeSiBC+Mo, 88:12, system has the highest wear resistance, decreasing by 30.2% at high loads compared to commercial WC-CoCr CERMETs, and also exhibits the highest fracture toughness. Analysis of wear tracks shows that the material removal at all charges occurred mainly by an abrasive wear mechanism.
