Abstract
In the present work, Al-based composite coatings with various Sc additions were deposited on the surface of 2024 aluminium alloy. The effects of Sc element on the microstructure and performance of composite coating were investigated and discussed. The results showed that a moderate Sc addition (0.2 wt %) could refine the grains, reduce the porosity, eliminate micro-cracks, and improve the TiC distribution of composite coating. However, an excessive addition of Sc increased the content of Al-Cu-Sc ternary phase, resulting in the decrease of strength. In addition, the composite coating with 0.2 wt % Sc addition exhibited the best tensile properties with an ultimate tensile strength of 256 MPa and an elongation of 4.16 %, which was 54.4 % and 8.9 % higher than that of original composite coating, respectively. The friction temperature had a great impact on the wear mechanism of composite coatings. The composite coating with 0.2 wt % Sc addition exhibited the lowest wear rate at various temperature.
With 0.2 wt% Sc addition, the microstructure of composite coating was refined significantly, along with a more uniform distribution of TiC particles. The synergetic effect of fine-grain strengthening, dispersion strengthening, and solution strengthening contributed to the improvement of strength and plasticity for composite coating. In addition, a more robust bonding between TiC and matrix also improve the friction performance of composite coating.
期刊介绍:
Wear journal is dedicated to the advancement of basic and applied knowledge concerning the nature of wear of materials. Broadly, topics of interest range from development of fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of wear to innovative solutions to practical engineering problems. Authors of experimental studies are expected to comment on the repeatability of the data, and whenever possible, conduct multiple measurements under similar testing conditions. Further, Wear embraces the highest standards of professional ethics, and the detection of matching content, either in written or graphical form, from other publications by the current authors or by others, may result in rejection.
