Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate the WC-10Co-4Cr coatings reinforced with 5 % and 10 % of yttria-stabilized zirconia (Y₂O₃/ZrO₂; YSZ) nanoparticles deposited on the CA6NM turbine steel by using the high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) thermal spraying technique. In the HVOF technique, the hot jet of the semi-solid particles strikes against the workpiece and creates a layer of coating of varying thickness on the substrate material. The coatings fabricated with HVOF were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) / energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The phase identification of a crystalline material was made with the x-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The mechanical properties in terms of porosity, surface roughness and microhardness of the nanocomposite coatings were also evaluated. The SEM/EDS analysis showed that dense and homogeneous coatings were developed by the reinforcement of YSZ nanoparticles. The peaks of XRD graphs of WC-10Co-4Cr coating reinforced with 5 and 10 % of YSZ nanoparticles revealed that the WC was present as a major phase and W₂C, Co₃W₃C, Co, Co₆W₆C, Co₆W and Y₂O₃/ZrO₂ nanoparticles were observed as a minor phase. The porosity level decreased up to 42 and 56 % by the addition 5 and 10 % of YSZ nanoparticles as compared with conventional WC-10Co-4Cr coating. The surface roughness values for WC-10Co-4Cr conventional coating, 95 % (WC-10Co-4Cr) + 5 % YSZ and 90 % (WC-10Co-4Cr) + 10 % YSZ nanocomposite coated samples were found to be 5.03, 4.89 and 4.28 respectively. The nanocomposite coatings reinforced with 10 % YSZ nanoparticles exhibited the highest microhardness value (1278 HV). The WC-10Co-4Cr coatings reinforced with 10 % of YSZ nanoparticles resulted in low porosity, low surface roughness and high microhardness. During the coating process, the nanoparticles of YSZ flow into the pores and are dispersed in the gaps between the micrometric WC particles and provide a better shield to the substrate material. The WC-10Co-4Cr with 10 % of YSZ nanoparticles showed better results in terms of mechanical and microstructural properties during the investigation.
