Abstract
Purpose. To investigate the effect of the main parameters of the cold spraying process, particularly the temperature and pressure of the gas at the nozzle inlet and stand-off distance, on the microhardness of the ASD-1 aluminum coating. Research methods. The planning and conducting of experimental research were carried out using the design of experiment methodology and regression analysis. The analysis of the obtained results of the experiments was carried out in the software package for statistical data Stat-Ease 360. The research of the microhardness of the sprayed coatings was carried out following GOST 9450-76 “Measurements microhardness by diamond instruments indentation@ using a LECO AMH5 micro-Vickers hardness tester on the prepared cross-section of samples with coatings. Results. Three-dimensional (response surfaces) and contour graphs of the dependence of the microhardness of coatings deposited by the cold spraying method from ASD-1 powder on the main process parameters - the temperature and pressure of the gas at the nozzle inlet and stand-off distance in a wide range of values - were constructed. According to the results, it was established that the gas temperature and the spraying distance have the most significant influence on the microhardness of the coatings. The relationship between the investigated parameters of spraying with the temperature and velocity characteristics of the powder particles and their effect on the microhardness is described. Scientific novelty. The complex effect of the main parameters of the cold spraying process, particularly the temperature and gas pressure at the nozzle inlet and the stand-off distance, on the microhardness of ASD-1 aluminum coatings in a wide range of values, was investigated. Practical value. The obtained dependences of coating microhardness on process parameters can be used in developing scientifically-based recommendations and technological processes of deposition of protective and restorative coatings by cold spraying, particularly on parts of aircraft engines.
