Comprehensive analysis of the coated component from a FORD engine

The article is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the coating component from Ford Fo-cus 1.0 l EcoBoost engine. It one pair materially identical aluminum gears connected by drive pulley and drive. Aluminum gear components are surface treated with mixture metal powders using PVD technology, where goal increase hardness, abrasion resistance heat base material. chemical composition basic material gea-red wheel FORD engine proves that it made thermofor-ming corresponds alloy EN AW 6061 (AlMg1SiCu) according standard ČSN 573 1-3. microstructure exhibits fine intermetallic phases evenly dis-tributed throughout cross-section material, without occurrence larger inc-lusions and/or porosity. cross-sectional in area demonstrates has continuous uniform layer formed defect does not have diffuse bond measurement thickness shows powder metallography, which ranges 70.1 µm 143.9 µm. EDS consists deposited tungsten carbides produced metallography bonding cobalt. Area identified morphologically two distinct areas dark light, cobalt based, only carbide contents change. oxygen carbon content also changes light areas.
