This research reports the improvement of high-temperature sliding wear resistance of a grade 15 titanium alloy protected by an HVOF sprayed CoMoCrSi-Cr3C2 coating. The coatings have been tested in as-sprayed condition and after a post-deposition microwave heating step. The powder feedstock has been manufactured by high energy ball milling. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) equipped with the Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) methods were used for coatings characterization. Surface roughness, microhardness, adhesion strength, and porosity of coatings were also measured. The wear test was conducted at an applied load of l0 N and 20 N with varying temperatures of 200 °C, 400 °C, and 600 °C under dry sliding conditions. Co3Mo2Si, Co7Mo6, Mo3Si, Co3Mo, and Co2Mo3 were the intermetallic laves phases generated in the CoMoCrSi feedstock during HEBM process. The microwave-fused coating exhibited metallurgical bonding, homogeneous structure, less porosity, and greater hardness as compared to as-sprayed coating. Microwave-treated coating revealed better wear property than an as-sprayed coating. This was mainly due to the intermetallic formation and metallurgical bonding in coatings. The fused coatings exhibit tribo-oxide layers during sliding action which was the main phenomenon of improving the wear resistance of the fused composite coatings.

Effect of microwave heating on microstructure and elevated temperature adhesive wear behavior of HVOF deposited CoMoCrSi-Cr3C2 coating

CoMoCrSi superalloy powder (Tribaloy-T400) consists of intermetallic laves phase and primary eutectic phase of Co-rich solid solution. Processing of Tribaloy-T400 powder is carried out through high-energy ball milling (HEBM) technique to obtain a higher volume fraction of intermetallic laves phases. The feedstock is sprayed using high-velocity-oxy-fuel (HVOF) process on titanium grade-15 substrate. The coating microstructure is homogenized by microwave hybrid heating technique. Characterization of feedstock, as-sprayed and microwave fused coatings is done by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and x-ray Diffraction (XRD). Porosity, surface roughness, microhardness, and bond strength are measured. Adhesive wear behavior of the coatings under the dry sliding condition is evaluated at an applied load of l0 and 20 N and temperature of 200, 400 and 600 °C Fused coating exhibit higher wear resistance than the as-sprayed coatings and substrate. The hard intermetallic laves phases which are amorphous (bulk metallic glass) in nature strengthen the coating at high temperatures.
