Abstract

FeNiCrAl-B₄C and FeNiCrAl-B₄C-TiB₂ coatings were deposited on Q235 steel substrates by high velocity arc spraying technology for preparation of subsequent application on agricultural machinery tools. The spraying process parameters of FeNiCrAl-B₄C-TiB₂ coating were optimized by orthogonal test experiment. The microstructure and phases of coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The wear resistance of the coatings was studied by dry sliding wear test, and the tribological behaviors analyzed. It was found that the two kinds of Fe-based coatings presented a similar layered structure, but FeNiCrAl-B₄C-TiB₂ coating had a more compact structure with lower porosity of 3.27%. After the addition of TiB₂ powder, hard phases of TiB₂, TiO₂, and Fe-Cr formed and significantly increased the hardness of the coating approximately 0.7 times higher than that of FeNiCrAl-B₄C coating. The wear resistance of the FeNiCrAl-B₄C-TiB₂ coating was about 1.8 times higher than that of FeNiCrAl-B₄C coating under the same testing conditions and further investigations showed that the dominant wear mechanism of FeNiCrAl-B₄C-TiB₂ coating was brittle fracture. The results indicate that wear resistance of the coatings improved by the addition of TiB₂ reinforcement.
