Introduction. The technological process of restoring a part should provide more than 80% the resource and no 50% cost new part. wear resistance applied coating determines restored operating under waterjet boundary friction. microhardness an iron-based electrolytic is one key indicators resistance. study results statistical processing factors most affecting increase in will make it possible to r...

In this study, a TiC-reinforced composite coating was produced to improve the wear resistance of a pearlite matrix grey iron using a pre-placed Ti powder by laser cladding. Results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) confirmed that the coating was composed of TiC particles and two kinds of α-Fe phase. The fine TiC par...

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings have been studied for many years as wear-resistant and low friction materials. Their tribological behaviour depends on the nature of the coating, which is determined by the deposition process. It is also strongly affected by environmental conditions. In this study, the nanomechanical properties and the nanofriction behaviour of two aC:H coatings deposited on s...

In this study two commonly used steels in boiler plants, i.e. (SAE-213) T-22 and SA516 (Grade-70) were coated with different thermal spray processes namely HVOF and cold spray. The coating powder used was made up of NiCrTiCRe powder. The performance of the coated as well as uncoated material was investigated using a pin-on-disc machine [Model: Wear and Friction Monitor Tester TR-20], supplied b...

Electrodeposition is a simple and economic technique for precision coating of different shaped substrates with pure metal, alloy or composite films. Dc electrodeposition was used to produce Cr, Co-Cr and Co-Cr/TiO2 nano-composite coatings from Cr(III) based electrolytes onto 316L SS substrates. The effects of TiO2 nanoparticles concentration on co-deposition of these particles along with Cr con...

This paper is a review on the status of hard coating of various physical vapour deposition (PVD) techniques and compare their properties. The use of hard and wear resistant PVD coatings on cutting tools is now widespread in global manufacturing for reducing production cost and improving productivity, all of which are essential if industry is to remain economically competitive. The review includ...

WC-Co coatings have been used as wear resistant in aero engines for decades, and research is still ongoing to further improve the performance of these through compositional modifications reduce wear. The are unlubricated sliding protection compressor parts such as; compressor, disc mid-span stiffeners aerofoils. In this study, two different graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were introduced into (88...

This study investigates the effect of carbide particle size on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and abrasive wear resistance of WC-17%Co HVOF-sprayed coatings. The characteristics of WC-1, WC-2, and WC-3 coatings with carbide sizes of 1 µm, 0.9 µm, and 0.5 µm, respectively, were also investigated. WC-1 coating experienced the maximum carbon loss of 42%, while WC-2 and WC-3 coatings un...

Using Electrostatic Spray Coating Technique, Polypropylene Powder (EPD 60R) was applied on carbon steel substrates at room temperature. In order to obtain a uniform coating, steel substrates with powder coatings were heated in a vacuum oven at various temperatures up to 250° C for various periods of time up to 45 min and a pressure of 200 mb. The coatings produced had thicknesses of around 470 ...
