Abstract

Free standing aluminum alloy coating was successfully prepared by two-wire arc spray process which can in future replace sheet metal work in light industries. The wear behavior of the coating was determined using pin on disc machine under dry conditions at 20 ° C with three different pin materials, viz., brass, medium-carbon steel, and high-carbon steel. The wear rate was found to increase whereas the coefficient of friction of the coating was found to decrease with increased load and sliding conditions. The worn surfaces were examined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and the microhardness to determine the wear mechanism of the coating.
