Wear resistance of Zr/WC composite coatings on Cr12MoV steel surface by electric spark deposition

Zr/WC composite coating was prepared on the surface of Cr12MoV steel by electric spark deposition technology to change its surface properties. The surface and worn surface morphology of the coating were observed using scanning electron microscope. Dry friction and wear tests of the coatings were carried out at room temperature. The results show that the coating is continuous and uniform, and the thickness was about 50-60 μm. The microhardness of the coating surface was highest at 1140 HV_(200g), which was significantly higher than that of the substrate. The ear tests results show that the wear weight loss, wear volume and wear rate follow the following rules: Cr12MoV>WC coating> Zr/WC composite coating.

TA2表面电火花沉积Zr/WC复合涂层特性及界面行为研究

目的通过在TA2表面进行电火花沉积改变其表面性能。方法采用电火花沉积技术,在基体TA2表面制备Zr/WC复合涂层,然后分别用扫描电镜（SEM）、能谱分析仪（EDX）、X射线应力分析仪、显微硬度计和摩擦磨损试验机分析涂层的微观组织、化学成分分布、残余应力、显微硬度分布以及涂层的耐磨性。结果复合涂层连续、均匀,厚度约为50~80μm;涂层表面不平整,存在很多小坑和粘连,涂层内部有少量气孔和裂纹;复合涂层与基体的主要元素Ti、Zr、W之间发生相互扩散,并发生冶金反应;经过电火花沉积后TA2表面存在较大的残余应力,通过改变工艺参数可有效控制残余应力;复合涂层表面显微硬度值最高能达到960.5HV200g,约为基体的4倍;经过电火花沉积Zr/WC复合涂层的试样磨损量远远小于TA2试样,ε_w=4.1,沉积层的耐磨性比基体材料提高了3.1倍,经电火花沉积制备复合涂层后表面的耐磨性显著提高。结论在TA2表面电火花沉积Zr/WC复合涂层可以改善其表面性能。
