Item Effect of microwave heating on microstructure and elevated temperature adhesive wear behavior of HVOF deposited CoMoCrSi-Cr3C2 coating(Elsevier B.V., 2019) Prasad, C.D.; Joladarashi, S.; Ramesh, M.R.; Srinath, M.S.; Channabasappa, B.H.This research reports the improvement of high-temperature sliding wear resistance of a grade 15 titanium alloy protected by an HVOF sprayed CoMoCrSi-Cr3C2 coating. The coatings have been tested in as-sprayed condition and after a post-deposition microwave heating step. The powder feedstock has been manufactured by high energy ball milling. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) equipped with the Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) methods were used for coatings characterization. Surface roughness, microhardness, adhesion strength, and porosity of coatings were also measured. The wear test was conducted at an applied load of l0 N and 20 N with varying temperatures of 200 °C, 400 °C, and 600 °C under dry sliding conditions. Co3Mo2Si, Co7Mo6, Mo3Si, Co3Mo, and Co2Mo3 were the intermetallic laves phases generated in the CoMoCrSi feedstock during HEBM process. The microwave-fused coating exhibited metallurgical bonding, homogeneous structure, less porosity, and greater hardness as compared to as-sprayed coating. Microwave-treated coating revealed better wear property than an as-sprayed coating. This was mainly due to the intermetallic formation and metallurgical bonding in coatings. The fused coatings exhibit tribo-oxide layers during sliding action which was the main phenomenon of improving the wear resistance of the fused composite coatings. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.Item Development and Sliding Wear Behavior of Co-Mo-Cr-Si Cladding through Microwave Heating(Springer editorial@springerplus.com, 2019) Prasad, C.D.; Joladarashi, S.; Ramesh, M.R.; Srinath, M.S.; Channabasappa, B.H.The aim of the present study is to improve the sliding wear resistance of pure titanium grade-2 substrate by developing CoMoCrSi (Tribaloy T400) cladding on it by using microwave hybrid heating technique. The developed cladding is characterized by microstructural features, phase analysis, measurement of microhardness by employing a scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Vickers microhardness. The cladding and substrate are subjected to sliding wear test against alumina counterpart at elevated temperatures under dry conditions using a pin on disc tribometer. The test is performed by varying normal load and temperatures, whereas sliding speed is maintained constant. The developed clad shown partial melting of CoMoCrSi powders and obtained sound metallurgical bonding with the substrate. The high specific energy of microwave diluted the substrate atoms into cladding region which forms Cr3C2, Co3Ti, and TiC, phases confirmed by phase analysis. The cladding obtained better porosity and microhardness are 1.5 ± 0.2% ?m and 760 ± 35 Hv respectively. The substrate exhibits low microhardness of 182 ± 25 Hv. The cladding exhibits 6 times of lower volume loss and 70.14% of less wear rate with respect to the substrate. The cladding experienced least coefficient of friction is 0.55 compared with the substrate. The worn surfaces of cladding and substrate are examined. The detailed mechanism of wear is discussed in this paper. © 2019, Springer Nature B.V.Item Comparison of Microstructural and Sliding Wear Resistance of HVOF Coated and Microwave Treated CoMoCrSi-WC + CrC + Ni and CoMoCrSi-WC + 12Co Composite Coatings Deposited on Titanium Substrate(Springer Science and Business Media B.V. editorial@springerplus.com, 2020) Prasad, C.D.; Joladarashi, S.; Ramesh, M.R.; Srinath, M.S.; Channabasappa, B.H.CoMoCrSi-WC + CrC + Ni and CoMoCrSi-WC + 12Co composite coatings are coated on titanium substrate by high velocity oxygen fuel method (HVOF). Prior to spraying, CoMoCrSi feedstock are processed through high energy ball milling (HEBM) in order improve the intermetallic laves phases and to reduce its particle size. The processed feedstock exhibits amorphous nature by improving laves phases and particle size of 60.12 ?m. Microwave heating energy is utilized as post heat treatment technique to improve the mechanical and metallurgical properties of as-sprayed coatings. Fused coatings reveals better properties in terms of surface roughness, porosity, microhardness and adhesion strength compared to as-sprayed coatings. Metallurgical bonding is observed in case of fused coatings due to diffusion of substrate elements. Frictional and wear behaviors have been investigated by a pin on disc apparatus at temperatures of 200 °C, 400 °C, and 600 °C under normal loads of 10 N and 20 N. Both wear trace and friction coefficients of the fused coatings are smaller than as-sprayed coatings and substrate at all test temperatures. The wear traces of fused coatings decreased with increasing the surface temperature due to the lubricant effect of cobalt oxides formed on the sliding surface. As a result, cobalt based cermet coatings are highly recommended as a durability improvement coating for the protection of sliding surface, such as high speed spindle. © 2020, Springer Nature B.V.Item Microstructural and Tribological Resistance of Flame-Sprayed CoMoCrSi/WC-CrC-Ni and CoMoCrSi/WC-12Co Composite Coatings Remelted by Microwave Energy(Springer, 2020) Prasad, C.; Joladarashi, S.; Ramesh, M.R.; Srinath, M.S.The hard facing composite coatings such as CoMoCrSi/30%WC-CrC-Ni and CoMoCrSi/30%WC-12Co are coated on grade-2 titanium substrate through Flame spray technique. Prior to deposition of coatings CoMoCrSi feedstock were processed using high energy ball milling to obtain intermetallic laves phases. The sprayed coatings are subjected to post-heat treatment through microwave energy to homogenize coating structure which reduces surface defects and to achieve metallurgical bonding. The as-sprayed and microwave treated coatings are examined for metallography analysis by using XRD, SEM–EDS and mechanical properties are estimated by using microhardness, universal tensile equipment. The high-temperature sliding wear tests are performed against alumina counterpart under dry conditions. The sliding wear test is conducted with normal loads of 10 N and 20 N at a sliding velocity of 1.5 m/s with a constant sliding distance of 3000 m. Microwave treated coatings obtained homogeneous structure and metallurgical bonding with improved hardness. Fused coatings revealed better wear resistance due to formation of oxides and fatigue spalling mechanism. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
