Abstract

Chemical mixers used in pharmaceutic industry are mostly constructed from a series of iron, chrome and nickel alloys. These mixers are used for mixing corrosive chemicals (acid or base) that often contain solid particles acting as the abrasive particles on the mixer blades. In this paper, martensitic stainless steel AISI 415 is used as base material and powder based on tungsten carbide is used for deposition of hard thin film resistant at common action of abrasive particles. The properties of metallic materials can be improved by deposition of layers with special material by plasma spraying method. Microstructure of thin films made of tungsten carbide and base material was performed with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). In order to determine the micro hardness of the base material and the deposited layer, Vickers micro hardness testing have carried out. For determination of roughness of the deposited layer, tests were carried out using the equipment Mitutoyo SJ 301.
