Abstract
Ni60-NiCrMoY composite coatings prepared by supersonic atmospheric plasma spraying were subjected to vacuum re-melting. The effect of vacuum re-melting on erosion behavior of the as-sprayed coatings was examined at various impact angles. The erosion mechanism of the as-sprayed and re-melted coatings were also investigated. At low impact angles, metal removal of coatings and substrate was controlled by microcutting. The erosion resistance of the coatings was higher than that of substrate, and the re-melted coatings exhibited best erosion resistance. With increasing the impact angle, the erosion rate of substrate first increased and then decreased, while that of the coatings increased gradually. The highest erosion rate of substrate occurred at an impact angle of 45°, which was lower than that of the as-sprayed coatings and higher than that of the re-melted coatings. Vacuum re-melting broadened the range of the impact angles which the as-sprayed coating can bear. At high impact angles, the substrate showed serious ductile fracture. The as-sprayed coatings exhibited significant brittle fracture, and the lamellar spalling caused by crack initiation and propagation. The erosion of the re-melted coatings was carried out both by ductile and brittle fracture. Vacuum re-melting greatly improved the bonding strength and erosion resistance of the as-sprayed coatings.
