Abstract
The sucrose was used as a carbonaceous precursor to fabricate composite alloy powder of Fe-Cr-C-TiFe by the precursor carbonization-composition process using the powder matirial of chromium, iron, tungsten, nickel and ferrotitanium. And the powder of Fe-Cr-C-TiFe was used to form a high-chromium iron-base composite coating on substrate of Q235 steel by plasma cladding process. The microstructure and hardness of the coating were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS), microhardness tester. Wear resistance of the coating was tested on wear tester at room temperature and high temperature 600°C compared with the base material Q235 steel and bearing steel. Results show that the coating consists of TiC, (Cr,Fe)7C3 and austenite and the hardness of the coating is 3.4 times as high as the base body Q235 steel. The wear resistance of the coating at room temperature is 11-15 times as high as the base body Q235 steel. The wear resistance of the coating at high temperature 600°C is 2.45 times as high as Q235 steel and is 1.5 times as high as bearing steel. The composite coating has excellent wear resistance because the reinforce phase TiC and (Cr,Fe) 7C3 in the coating have high hardness and good wear resistance. They can play key roles in process of friction and wear.
