Development of Al356-Al2O3 Nanocomposite Coatings by High Velocity Oxy-fuel Technique

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2013.05.019

Abstract

Abstract:

In this research, development of Al356–Al₂O₃ nanocomposite coatings has been investigated. Al356–Al₂O₃ composite powders were prepared by mechanical milling of Al356 powder and 5 vol.% micro and nanoscaled alumina particles. The milled powders were used as feedstock to deposit composite coatings on A356–T6 aluminum alloy substrate using high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) process. X-ray diffractometry, optical and scanning electron microscopy, microhardness and wear tests were used to characterize the composite powders and coatings. The hardness of composite coatings containing micro and nanosized Al₂O₃ were 114.1 ± 5.9 HV and 138.4 ± 6.9 HV, respectively which were higher than those for substrate (79.2 ± 1.1 HV). Nano and microcomposite coatings revealed low friction coefficients and wear rates, which were significantly lower than those obtained for Al356–T6 substrate. Addition of 5 vol.% micro and nanoscaled alumina particles improved the wear resistance by an average of 85% and 91%, respectively. This is mainly caused by the presence of Al₂O₃ in matrix and nanocrystalline structure of matrix. Scanning electron microscopy tests revealed different wear mechanisms on the surface of the wear test specimens.
