Abstract
This work investigates the abrasive wear performance, of thermally sprayed Cr3C2-25%NiCr coatings try APS with Ar/H2, APS with Ar/He and CDS detonation spray against AL2O3 and Si02-dominaled abrasive papers using a pin-on-disk abrasive tester. The experimental results indicate that the wear resistance of these coatings increases in the order of Cr3C225%NiCr (APS-ArH2), Cr3C2-25%NiCr (APS-Ar/He) and Cr3C2-25%NiCr (CDS). The SEM analyses of worn surfaces indicate that the wear mechanisms mainly include abrasion and strain fatigue. Measurements of indentation damage show that the fracture toughness of the three coatings increases just in the same order as wear resistance.
