Abstract
Coatings were produced on the EP741NP nickel alloy substrates by electrospark deposition (ESD) in argon using an MoSi2-MoB-HfB2 electrode. In situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis studies have identified the temperature above which the strengthening Mo2Ni3Si Laves phase is formed in the coatings. At 25 °C, the coatings with a predominant content of the Laves phase are characterized by enhanced wear resistance, as well as a lower coefficient of friction compared to the non-annealed coatings containing binary silicides. At 700 °C, the EP741NP substrate was characterized by the lowest friction coefficient (Ktr = 0.35), and its wear was approximately at the same level as the wear of both coatings.
