Abstract
A Ni-Ti-C composite powder for Reactive Thermal Spraying is made by heating a mixture of titanium, nickel, and sucrose to carbonize the sucrose, which is used as the source of carbon. The carbon obtained by pyrolysis of sucrose is a reactive constituent as well as the binder in the composite powder. The titanium and nickel particles are bound by the carbon to form granules of the composite powder. This powder feedstock was used to prepare in situ TiC-reinforced Ni-based composite coating by oxyacetylene flame spraying. The TiC-Ni composite coating is made of TiC, Ni, and some Ni3Ti. In the coating, a mass of fine TiC particles is uniformly distributed within the metallic matrix. The microhardness and surface hardness of the coating are, respectively, 1433 HV0.2kg and 62 ± 6 (HR30N). The wear resistance is much better for the TiC-Ni composite coating than for the substrate and Ni60 coating.
