Microstructure evolution and wear mechanism of CuSn5/WC-9Co coatings fabricated by low-pressure cold spray
摘要
This study investigates the wear resistance of cold-sprayed CuSn5/WC-9Co composite coating, fabricated by blending various mass ratios of WC-9Co hard particles with annealed CuSn5 powder. The experimental results show that the addition of WC-9Co hard particles reduces the porosity of the coating and improves its hardness. As the WC-9Co content increases, both the average friction coefficient and the weight loss of the composite coating initially increase and then decrease. At a content of 30 wt% WC-9Co, the coating achieves an average cross-sectional hardness of 264.8 HV0.5 and an average friction coefficient of 0.364.
