INTRODUCTION
The aim of this investigation was to integrate
the potential benefits of two process
technologies of thermal spraying and HIPing to
improve coatings tribo-mechanical performance.
  • The specific objectives were to improve coating
    strength and wear resistance by
  • Improved intersplat cohesion by HIPing
    post-treatment.
  • Transform the mechanism of coating adhesion from
    mechanical interlock to metallurgical bonding.
  • Improve the homogeneity and crystallinity of
    coating microstructure.

STARTING POWDER
WC-10NiCrBSiFeC
WC-40NiCrBSiFeC
Alloy composition Cr 7.6, Si 3.6, Fe 2.4, B
1.6, C 0.25, Ni Bal.
  • Pre-alloying of WC-NiCrBSiFeC powders.
  • Two different compositions WC-10NiCrBSiFeC and
    WC-40NiCrBSiFeC were produced by the
    agglomeration and sintering.

THERMAL SPRAYING
  • Functionally graded coatings were produced by the
    HVOF (JP5000) process on 440-C bearing steel
    substrate to minimise the mismatch of thermal and
    elastic properties.
  • The spraying parameters were as follows
  • Oxygen flow 893 lit/min
  • Kerosene flow 0.321 lit/min
  • spraying distance 380 mm
  • Spraying rate 50 g/min

440C steel substrate (8mm thick)
5
HIPing POST-TREATMENT
  • Two Different HIPing temperatures of 850oC and
    1200oC were adapted at a pressure of 150 MPa.
  • Cooling and heating rates were optimised to
    4oC/minute.
  • Holding time was 60 minutes.
  • Uncapsulated HIPing conditions.

CONCLUSIONS
  1. Uncapsulated HIPing can be successfully applied
    to post-treat thermally sprayed coatings.
  2. HIPing post-treatment can improve the sliding
    wear resistance of thermal spray cermet coatings.
  3. Wear resistance improves with the increase in
    HIPing temperature.
  4. Improvement in sliding wear resistance is thought
    to originate from the increase in coatings
    hardness, elastic modulus and fracture toughness.
  5. HIPed coatings show WC recovery and formation of
    complex carbides.
  6. Results indicate higher elastic modulus after
    HIPing due to higher bonding between lamellas.

WORK IN PROGRESS
  • Influence of HIPing pressure, HIPing vs. Vacuum
    Heat Treatment.
  • Influence of Coating Materials, especially WC-Co
  • Coating Substrate Bonding Mechanism.
  • Measurement of Adhesive and Cohesive strength.
  • Optimisation of HIPing Parameters
  • Influence on Fatigue and Impact performance
