Abstract

In the current investigation, the mechanical properties evaluation and optimization of process parameters of plasma-sprayed NITINOL coating on mild steel substrate has been performed. The relation between the mechanical properties and process parameters of the coating was established by proposing a nonlinear regression equation. The obtained coefficient of determination (R2) and the mean relative error for microhardness (99.7 and 4.85%) and adhesion strength (99.2 and 6.88%) confirmed the statistical validity of the proposed nonlinear regression equation. The Genetic Algorithm optimization technique was implemented to obtain the optimized parametric setting for the plasma spray coating process. To check the quality of the coating fabricated by the optimized parametric combination (plasma arc current of 550 A and primary gas flow rate of 45 lpm), the characterizations (x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and 3D surface roughness measurement) of the coating were performed. The SEM morphology of the surface and the interface of the coating revealed the better flattening behavior of the splat and the lamellar structure of the coating, respectively. The obtained phases (Ni, Ti, NiTi, Ti2Ni, Ni3Ti, Ni4Ti3, TiO, NiO) found in the XRD pattern were confirmed from the EDS analysis at various regions of the specimen surface, and the obtained coating surface roughness (roughness average (Sa)) is 12.35 µm.
