Abstract:

The current paper deals with characterization of TiC−NiMo cermet powders produced by mechanical milling technology. TiC-based cermets scrap was processed by semi-industrial and laboratory disintegrator milling system. Chemical composition, shape and size of produced powders were analyzed. To estimate the properties of recycled cermet powders the sieving analysis, and angularity studies were conducted. The grindability was estimated using specific energy parameter (Es). Considering that viewpoint, the study is focused on angularity studies as the shape of spray powder has considerable influence on spraying efficiency, the quality and reliability of the coating. To describe the angularity of milled powders, spike parameter – quadratic fit (SPQ) was used and experiments for determination of SPQ sensitivity and precision to characterize particles angularity were performed. Uncertainty of measurements demonstrated trustworthiness of results. The standard deviation of SPQ regardless of milling cycles is the same. For use of produced powders as reinforcements in sprayed coatings the technological parameters of powders were studied. Perspective future use of powders as reinforcements in composite coatings as well as abrasives in tooling were demonstrated.
