Effect of sericite on wear behavior of inorganic zinc-silicate
Five percent mass fraction of serlcite is added in the solid phase composition of inorganic zinc-silicate coatings. The coatings are prepared by the three-brushing. The performance is tested by dry wear experiments and acoustic emission abrasion experi- ments. The result shows that wear resistance enhanced by reducing the friction coefficient and plastic deformation of coatings, the generation and expansion of internal cracks in the coating is prevented, the strength of acoustic emission signal is reduced, wear resistance of coatings are enhanced by adding sericite. The application space of coating is expanded by adding sericite.
