    Elevated Temperature Solid Particle Erosion Performance of Plasma-Sprayed Co-based Composite Coatings with Additions of Al2O3 and CeO2
    (Springer New York LLC barbara.b.bertram@gsk.com, 2017) Nithin, H.S.; Desai, V.; Ramesh, M.R.
    In this paper, investigation into solid particle erosion behavior of atmospheric plasma-sprayed composite coating of CoCrAlY reinforced with Al2O3 and CeO2 oxides on Superni 76 at elevated temperature of 600 °C is presented. Alumina particles are used as erodent at two impact angles of 30° and 90°. The microstructure, porosity, hardness, toughness and adhesion properties of the as-sprayed coatings are studied. The effects of temperature and phase transformation in the coatings during erosion process are analyzed using XRD and EDS techniques. Optical profilometer is used for accurate elucidation of erosion volume loss. CoCrAlY/CeO2 coating showed better erosion resistance with a volume loss of about 50% of what was observed in case of CoCrAlY/Al2O3/YSZ coating. Lower erosion loss is observed at 90° as compared to 30° impact angle. The erosion mechanism evaluated using SEM micrograph revealed that the coatings experienced ductile fracture exhibiting severe deformation with unusual oxide cracks. Reinforced metal oxides provide shielding effect for erodent impact, enabling better erosion resistance. The oxidation of the coating due to high-temperature exposure reforms erosion process into oxidation-modified erosion process. © 2017, ASM International.

    Elevated temperature solid particle erosion behaviour of carbide reinforced CoCrAlY composite coatings
    (Institute of Physics Publishing helen.craven@iop.org, 2018) Nithin, H.S.; Desai, V.; Ramesh, M.R.
    CoCrAlY+WC-Co and CoCrAlY+Cr3C2-NiCr coatings are deposited on nickel based alloy using atmospheric plasma spray technique. Mechanical properties such as microhardness, adhesion strength and fracture toughness of coatings are evaluated. Elevated temperature solid particle erosion behaviour of these coatings are investigated at 600 °C using alumina erodent at 30 and 90° impact angle. Coatings are characterized utilizing Scanning electron microscope (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). CoCrAlY+WC-Co coating shows higher hardness, adhesion strength and fracture toughness than CoCrAlY+Cr3C2-NiCr coating. CoCrAlY+WC-Co coating exhibited approximately 3 times higher erosion resistance than CoCrAlY+Cr3C2-NiCr coating at 90° and 30° impact angles. SEM images of eroded surfaces of coatings reveals the combination of ductile and brittle fracture. CoCrAlY+Cr3C2-NiCr coating shows severe cracks, craters, carbide pull out and chipping than CoCrAlY+WC-Co coating. High temperature erosion is a combination of simultaneous building up of material by oxidation and removal of material by erosion process. Thus reforming the erosion process to oxidation modified erosion process. © 2018 IOP Publishing Ltd.

    Evaluation of Wear Behaviour of Metal Injection Moulded Nickel Based Metal Matrix Composite
    (Springer Netherlands rbk@louisiana.edu, 2019) Veeresh Nayak, V.N.; Ramesh, M.R.; Desai, V.; Kumar Samanta, S.K.
    Metal injection moulding (MIM) is a near-net shape manufacturing technology for producing intricate parts, cost-effectively. MIM comprises combined techniques of plastic injection moulding and powder metallurgy. The present study focused on the development of the binder and fabrication of defect free MIM component. A wax-based binder system consisting of paraffin wax (PW), low density polyethylene (LDPE), polyethylene glycol (PEG-600) and stearic acid was established for MIM of NiCrSiB (70% Wt.) + Cr3C2-NiCr (30% Wt.) nickel based metal matrix composite (NMMC) powder. The feedstock was characterised through rheological properties at different temperatures. Injection temperature was determined from the rheological investigation of the feedstock having the 56% powder loading and 44% binder by volume. Sintering process was carried out with the temperature cycle in the range of 1250–1300 ?C under hydrogen purged atmosphere. The MIM components showed good and acceptable shrinkage in linear dimensions. The mechanical properties and wear behaviour of NMMC was studied using a pin-on-disc apparatus with alumina disc.Tests were performed under dry sliding conditions at room temperature and elevated temperatures of 200 and 400 ?C. Results shows that wear rate is maximum at 400 ?C for 40 N and lowest at room temperature for 10 N. Further wear mechanism was analysed using scanning electron microscope (SEM). © 2018, Springer Science+Business Media B.V., part of Springer Nature.
