Abstract
cBN/NiCrAl nanocomposite coatings were deposited by cold spraying using mechanically alloyed composite powders. To examine their thermal stability, the nanocomposite coatings were annealed at different temperatures up to 1000 °C. The microstructure of composite coatings was characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that the nanostructure can be retained when the annealing temperature is not higher than 825 °C, which is 0.7 times of the melting point of the NiCrAl matrix. The dislocation density was significantly reduced when the annealing temperature was higher than 750 °C. The reaction between cBN particles and the NiCrAl matrix became noticeable when the annealing temperature was higher than 825 °C. The effects of grain refinement and work-hardening strengthening mechanisms were quantitatively estimated as a function of annealing temperature. The influence of annealing temperature on the contribution of different strengthening mechanisms to coating hardness was discussed.
