Abstract
The utilization rate of metal powders during the preparation of plasma-sprayed coatings is typically below 70 %, which has raised significant concerns regarding efficiency. The microstructure evolution and wear mechanism of plasma-sprayed Ni625-WC composite coatings with received powders (C-p1) and recovered powders (C-p2) were studied to investigate the feasibility of powder recycling. The results showed that the boundary layer at WC particles in C-p2 was 2.84 μm thicker than that in C-p1. Decarburized WC products were dispersed nucleation to form block M23C6 at the boundary of WC particles and within Inconel 625 matrix in C-p1. In contrast, the larger contact area of block M23C6 after initial heating promoted the nucleation and growth of acicular M23C6 in C-p2. In addition, the wear rate of C-p2 is 9.1 % lower than that of C-p1. Although the higher elastic modulus (E) of C-p1 caused the Inconel 625 matrix to adhere more strongly to WC particles, resulting in higher degree adhesive wear rather than exfoliations and less adhesion in C-p2, the presence of harder and more uniformly distributed acicular M23C6, and higher microhardness (H)/E ratio in C-p2, improved the wear resistance.
期刊介绍:
Surface and Coatings Technology is an international archival journal publishing scientific papers on significant developments in surface and interface engineering to modify and improve the surface properties of materials for protection in demanding contact conditions or aggressive environments, or for enhanced functional performance. Contributions range from original scientific articles concerned with fundamental and applied aspects of research or direct applications of metallic, inorganic, organic and composite coatings, to invited reviews of current technology in specific areas. Papers submitted to this journal are expected to be in line with the following aspects in processes, and properties/performance:
A. Processes: Physical and chemical vapour deposition techniques, thermal and plasma spraying, surface modification by directed energy techniques such as ion, electron and laser beams, thermo-chemical treatment, wet chemical and electrochemical processes such as plating, sol-gel coating, anodization, plasma electrolytic oxidation, etc., but excluding painting.
B. Properties/performance: friction performance, wear resistance (e.g., abrasion, erosion, fretting, etc), corrosion and oxidation resistance, thermal protection, diffusion resistance, hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, and properties relevant to smart materials behaviour and enhanced multifunctional performance for environmental, energy and medical applications, but excluding device aspects.
