Abstract
Thermal spraying is often used to create coatings protecting parts against physico-chemical aggressions or improving superficial mechanical properties. It involves several problems because of the high temperatures of the process: cracks, porosity, coating adhesion. The authors use Vickers interfacial indentation test to characterize adhesive fracture between substrates and coatings. From the Lawn’s relation two curves: load/crack length ratio ( P/C 3/2) vs crack length ( C 1/2) and ln P vs ln C are drawn for varying loads. They allow the determination of the type of residual stress, a coating fracture “toughness”/residual stress ratio ( K C/ σ r) characterizing interfacial behavior and may lead, in some cases, to residual stress σ r. Influence of superficial remelting by CO 2 laser of cermet coating Cr 3C 2/Ni–Cr deposited on NiCrAlY covered steel and of annealing of Cr 3C 2/Ni–Cr coated cast iron are then studied. Possibility of reducing residual stress is shown at the same time as the interest of both approaches.
