Superior wear performances of one-step forming TiC p /Ni 3 Al-Ni 3 Al multi-coating on powder metallurgy master alloy substrate

Abstract

One-step forming TiC_p/Ni₃Al-Ni₃Al multi-coating on powder metallurgy 316L stainless steel substrate was fabricated by vacuum hot-pressing sintering technology and its wear performances at different loads and ambient temperatures were investigated. The wear weight loss of TiC_p/Ni₃Al-Ni₃Al multi-coating increased with the increase in the applied load and a mild-to-severe wear transition occurred. Inversely, the coating’s wear weight loss decreased as the ambient temperature increased. The high wear resistance at elevated temperatures was mainly attributed to high work-hardening capacity and high temperature strength of Ni₃Al matrix. Besides, the mechanically mixed layer with dispersed TiC particulates prevented the substrate from plastic deformation and thermal softening, which were conducive to improve the wear resistance of the coating.
