Abstract

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.
