Study on high-temperature erosive wear behaviour, surface roughness and scratch resistance of NiCrAlY-based composite coating
摘要
This study concentrates on NiCrAlY-based coating with nano-boron carbide and cenosphere particles. The composition of NiCrAlY, B4C and cenosphere are maintained the same for all the samples. The plasma spray technique is used for coating. The erosive wear is carried out for different impingement angles of 30°, 60°, 75° and 90° at 900°C. The morphology of coating before and after erosive wears is studied using scanning electron microscopic analysis. Further, the study is carried out on surface roughness, scratch resistance and coefficient of friction of the eroded surface of the samples. The significant erosive wear resistance is reported for an impact angle of 60° followed by 30°. The surface roughness results reveal the formation of deep craters and the ploughing effect of material on the coatings. The scratch test and COF show the presence of coating and the brittle nature of the failure of the coating.
