Structural characteristics and tribological properties of an ultrafine-grained Al–40Si–5Fe coating prepared by supersonic plasma spraying
Source abstract
Abstract
AbstractHigh silicon aluminum alloy coatings (HSAACs) are characterized by high surface hardness and excellent wear resistance, and the fineness has a significant impact on their properties. In this study, Al–40Si–5Fe coating was prepared by supersonic plasma spraying using Al–35Si–4Fe powder as raw material. The coating contains a variety of strengthening structures such as amorphous, nanocrystalline and supersaturated solid solution. The average hardness of the coating reached up to 465.3 ± 24.4HV0.2, which was much higher than that of the Al–Si alloys/coatings prepared by various processes. Under the test conditions, the wear mechanism of the coating was dominated by fatigue wear with slight abrasive wear, and the wear rate was 1.88 × 10–4mm3/N. A large amount of refined Si phase in the oxide film on the worn surface effectively prevented the cracking and spalling of the oxide film.Graphical abstract
