Abstract

Thick TiB2-TiC0.3N0.7 based composite coatings were deposited by reactive plasma spraying (RPS) successfully in air. The influence to the coating properties (morphology, Vickers microhardness and corrosion resistant property) with Cr addition in the thermal spray powder and TiB2-TiC0.3N0.7 based coatings treated by laser were investigated. The phase composition, structure and properties of composite coatings were studied using XRD, SEM, EDS, Vickers microhardness and electrochemical testers. The results show that the Vickers microhardness values and the density of laser surface treated coatings are improved significantly. The Cr addition in the thermal spray powder can increase the density, improve the wettability of ceramic phases, uniform the phase distribution and enhance the corrosion-resistant property of coatings. However, due to lower microhardness of metal Cr than ceramic phases in coatings, the Vickers microhardness values of plasma sprayed coatings and plasma sprayed coatings with laser surface treatment are a little lower than that of each coating without Cr addition in the thermal spray powder.
