Abstract

To improve the wear performance of CoCrAlYTa coating, part of the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) chemically reacted with Ta to form reinforcement phase (TaC), while the other CNTs were retained as lubrication phase. Subsequently, the CoCrAlYTa-xCNTs (x = 0, 1, 2, and 4; wt%) composite coatings were prepared by laser-induction hybrid cladding (LIHC), and the microstructure and wear resistance of coatings were systematically analyzed. Results show that the coatings are mainly composed of TaC, γ-(Co,Cr) and β-(Co,Cr)Al. As the CNTs content increases from 0 wt% to 4 wt%, the volume fraction of TaC increases from 13.11 vol% to 16.12 vol%. Meanwhile, the nano-hardness of γ-(Co,Cr) and β-(Co,Cr)Al are improved from 7.49 and 9.72 to 9.36 and 11.19 GPa, respectively. As a result, the microhardness of coating increases from HV 536.25 to HV 738.16, the wear rate decreases from 32.4 × 10–3 to 6.1 × 10–3 mg·m−1, and the average friction coefficient decreases from 0.55 to 0.44. The good wear performance of the coating is attributed to the formation of TaC and the existence of remained CNTs lubricant film.

摘要

本文利用“部分CNTs与Ta反应生成TaC, 而剩余CNTs充当润滑剂”的设计思想来改善CoCrAlTaY涂层摩擦学性能, 并通过激光感应复合熔覆技术成功制备CoCrAlTaY-CNTs复合涂层。结果表明, 部分CNTs分布在γ-(Co,Cr)和β-(Co,Cr)Al相中, 而部分CNTs被消耗与Ta反应形成TaC; 随着CNTs含量从0 wt%增至4 wt%, 涂层中TaC数量从13.11 vol%增至16.12 vol%, 涂层硬度从HV536.25增至HV 738.16, 磨损率从32.4 × 10−3降低到6.1 × 10–3 mg·m−1。研究成果对抗磨减磨MCrAlY涂层设计具有良好的参考价值。
