Preparation and tribological properties of Ni60 composite coating modified with glass powder
The nickel-based alloy/glass powder composite coating was prepared on the surface of 45 steel by flame spraying technology.The coating was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),energy spectrum analysis(EDS),X-ray diffraction analysis(XRD),microhardness analysis and pin-disk friction wear test.The effects of the amount of glass powder on the microstructure,phase composition,hardness and tribological properties of the nickel-based coating were studied.The results showed that the micro-hardness of the composite coating increases first and then decreases with the increase of glass powder con-tent,and the maximum hardness reach 681 HV0.2.The friction coefficient and volume wear rate of the composite coating decrease first and then increase.The friction coefficient of the composite coating with 10%glass powder addition is as low as 0.13,and the wear rate is as low as 0.21 × 10-5 mm3/(N·m),which show that the addition of appropriate glass powder is beneficial to the improvement of the tribologi-cal properties of the nickel-based alloy coating.
