Item Influence of microwave hybrid heating on the sliding wear behaviour of HVOF sprayed CoMoCrSi coating(Institute of Physics Publishing helen.craven@iop.org, 2018) Prasad, C.D.; Joladarashi, S.; Ramesh, M.R.; Srinath, M.S.; Channabasappa, B.H.CoMoCrSi superalloy powder (Tribaloy-T400) consists of intermetallic laves phase and primary eutectic phase of Co-rich solid solution. Processing of Tribaloy-T400 powder is carried out through high-energy ball milling (HEBM) technique to obtain a higher volume fraction of intermetallic laves phases. The feedstock is sprayed using high-velocity-oxy-fuel (HVOF) process on titanium grade-15 substrate. The coating microstructure is homogenized by microwave hybrid heating technique. Characterization of feedstock, as-sprayed and microwave fused coatings is done by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and x-ray Diffraction (XRD). Porosity, surface roughness, microhardness, and bond strength are measured. Adhesive wear behavior of the coatings under the dry sliding condition is evaluated at an applied load of l0 and 20 N and temperature of 200, 400 and 600 °C Fused coating exhibit higher wear resistance than the as-sprayed coatings and substrate. The hard intermetallic laves phases which are amorphous (bulk metallic glass) in nature strengthen the coating at high temperatures. © 2018 IOP Publishing Ltd.Item Characterization and Sliding Wear Behavior of Iron-Based Metallic Coating Deposited by HVOF Process on Low-Carbon Steel Substrate(Springer, 2020) Prasad, C.D.; Jerri, A.; Ramesh, M.R.The main aim of this work is to improve the sliding wear resistance of boiler steel material. The iron-based or Metco 41C metallic feedstock was deposited over the ASTM-SA213-T11 steel substrate using high-velocity oxy-fuel spraying process. The resultant deposits were subsequently characterized for microstructure, density, hardness, porosity and surface roughness. These characterizations were carried out with the help of XRD, SEM and Vickers’s microhardness tester. The sliding wear performance of the substrate and coatings were investigated by varying normal loads of 10 N and 20 N at temperatures of 200 °C, 300 °C as well as room conditions by employing pin-on-disk tribometer. The friction coefficient, volume of wear loss and wear rate were being found out. The wear results were compared among the substrate and coating. The formation of additional carbide phases such as Fe2C and SiC in Metco 41C coating led to higher hardness results in better wear resistance compared with the substrate. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Item EFFECT of LASER POST-TREATMENT on MICROSTRUCTURAL and SLIDING WEAR BEHAVIOR of HVOF-SPRAYED NiCrC and NiCrSi COATINGS(World Scientific, 2022) Naik, T.; Mathapati, M.; Prasad, C.D.; Nithin, H.S.; Ramesh, M.R.In this study, NiCrC and NiCrSi coatings are deposited on the MDN 310 steel using High-Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) process. Laser Surface Melting (LSM) post-heat treatment is carried out on as-sprayed coatings using Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENSTM) with a power of 300W. The characteristics of both coatings in terms of mechanical and metallurgical properties have been investigated. The thicknesses of the as-sprayed NiCrC and NiCrSi coatings are in the range of 170-200μm. Laser-treated NiCrC and NiCrSi coatings exhibit a thickness range of 162-185μm, respectively. The microstructure of laser-treated NiCrC-300W coating clearly shows a dendrite-like structure, whereas the laser-treated NiCrSi coating exhibits hard layer and columnar homogeneity. Microhardness of as-sprayed NiCrC coating is 515±15 HV0.3 and that of NiCrSi coating is 645±25 HV0.3. Microhardness of laser-treated NiCrC coating is 720±30 HV0.3 and that of NiCrSi coating is 890±15 HV0.3. Dry sliding wear tests are conducted at room temperature (RT) and 400°C with 10-N and 20-N loads. The wear rates at 400°C temperature of laser-treated NiCrC and NiCrSi coatings produced are slightly below (1-2.2)×10-3mm3/m and (0.8-1.6)×10-3mm3/m, respectively. Laser-treated coatings produced better dry sliding wear behavior compared with as-sprayed coatings owing to dense microstructure. Formation of SiC phase in NiCrSi coating imparts high wear and frictional resistance compared to the NiCrC coating. © 2022 World Scientific Publishing Company.
