Comprehensive Study of the Mechanical and Tribological Properties of NiCr-Al Detonation Coatings

Abstract
This article presents a comprehensive study of the mechanical and tribological properties of detonation coatings in the NiCr-Al system. Using the detonation spraying technology, NiCr-Al homogeneous (HC) and gradient coatings (GCs) were produced, and their characteristics were determined. Modern analytical instruments were used in the course of the study. The results showed that the microhardness of the NiCr-Al GC was approximately 30% higher compared to the NiCr-Al HC. According to nanoindentation results, the elasticity modulus and nanohardness of the NiCr-Al GC were twice as high as those of the NiCr-Al homogeneous coating. Tribological tests conducted using the rotational ball-on-disk contact geometry showed that the wear rate of the NiCr-Al GC was significantly lower, while the friction coefficients of both coatings were approximately similar. According to the adhesion strength tests, the strength of the NiCr-Al GC was recorded at 38.7 ± 6.9 MPa, while that of the NiCr-Al HC was approximately 25.4 ± 3.1 MPa. High-temperature tribological tests revealed that the wear resistance of the NiCr-Al GC was 2.5 times higher than that of the NiCr-Al HC. The conducted studies demonstrated that the coating structure, particularly the distribution of elements, has a significant influence on its mechanical and tribological properties. Overall, the NiCr-Al GC exhibited superior mechanical and tribological performance.
