Constrained sintering and wear properties of Cu-WC composite coatings

Cu-WC复合材料涂层的受限烧结和磨损性能（英文）

Coatings of metal matrix composites(Cu?WC)were fabricated by solid-state sintering.WC reinforcing particles indifferent quantities from5%up to30%(volume fraction)were mixed with Cu particles.After mixing,the powders were poured ontothe surface of copper substrates.Sintering was carried out at1000°C under a reducing atmosphere in a vertical dilatometer.Sinteringkinetics was affected by both rigid substrates and WC particles which retarded the radial and axial densification of powders.However,the coatings were strongly attached to the substrate,and WC particles were randomly distributed within the matrix.The addition ofthe reinforcing particles enhanced the microhardness and reduced the volume loss in wear tests to1/17compared to the unreinforcedsample.The predominant wear mechanism was identified as abrasion at a load of5N.20%WC(volume fraction)reinforcingparticles led to the maximum values of properties for the composite coating.

采用固态烧结法制备Cu-WC金属基复合材料涂层。将不同体积分数(5%-30%)的WC增强颗粒与Cu颗粒混合,然后在还原性气氛和垂直膨胀计中于1000°C进行烧结。结果表明,复合材料涂层的烧结动力学受基体材料和WC颗粒的影响,WC颗粒能减缓粉末径向和轴向的致密化。复合材料涂层紧实地粘附于基体上,而WC颗粒随机分布在基体中。与未添加增强剂的样品相比,添加了WC增强剂的样品的显微硬度增加,磨损量降低至原来的1/17。样品在载荷为5 N条件下的主要磨损机理为磨粒磨损,当WC增强剂的体积分数为20%时复合涂层的性能最优。
