The paper presents results of comparative tests concerning the effect of the morphology and particle size of the WC-Co-Cr coating material on the microstructure and mechanical properties of coatings sprayed (using the high velocity oxy-fuel method (HVOF)) on substrates made of magnesium alloy AZ31. The tests involved the use of two types of commercial powders, i.e. agglomerated and sintered powder (AS) (Höganäs, Amperit 558.074) and sintered powder (S) (Höganäs, Amperit 554.071). The microstructures of the coatings were observed using digital light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The tests also involved the determination of porosity and roughness as well as measurements of instrumental hardness (HIT) and Young’s modulus (EIT ). The microscopic observations revealed that the coatings were characterized by the relatively compact, dense and uniform structure as well as good adhesion to the substrate. The porosity of the S-type coating was approximately 1.5 times higher than that of the AS-type coating. In addition, the S-type coating was visibly thinner (than the AS-type coating), which could be ascribed to a lower powder feed rate applied during the spraying process. The surface of the AS-type coating was characterized by lower roughness (Ra = 4.5 ± 0.1 μm) than that of the S-type coating (Ra = 5.8 ± 0.3 μm). The differences in terms of instrumental hardness (HIT) and instrumental Young’s modulus (EIT) were also small. However, it could be noticed that the more compact structure and lower porosity of the AS-type coating resulted in the obtainment of slightly higher values of both HIT and EIT.

W pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań porównania wpływu morfologii oraz wielkości cząstek materiału powłokowego WC-Co-Cr na mikrostrukturę i własności mechaniczne powłok natryskiwanych płomieniowo naddźwiękowo (High Velocity Oxy-Fuel) na podłoże ze stopu magnezu AZ31. Do badań wybrano dwa rodzaje handlowego proszku: aglomerowany i spiekany (AS) – Höganäs, Amperit 558.074 oraz spiekany (S) – Höganäs, Amperit 554.071. Obserwacje mikrostruktur wytworzonych powłok wykonano przy użyciu mikroskopów: cyfrowego świetlnego oraz skaningowego elektronowego. Określono także porowatość i chropowatość oraz zmierzono twardość instrumentalną (HIT) i moduł Younga (EIT). Na podstawie wykonanych obserwacji mikroskopowych stwierdzono, że wytworzone powłoki charakteryzują się stosunkowo zwartą, gęstą oraz jednolitą strukturą i dobrze przylegają do podłoża. Porowatość powłoki S jest ok. 1,5 razy większa niż w przypadku powłoki AS. Ponadto charakteryzuje ją widocznie mniejsza grubość niż powłoki AS, co jest związane z mniejszym wydatkiem podawania proszku w trakcie procesu natryskiwania. Powierzchnia powłoki AS odznacza się mniejszą chropowatością niż powłoki S, odpowiednio: Ra = 4,5 ± 0,1 µm i Ra = 5,8 ± 0,3 µm. Różnice w wartości twardości instrumentalnej (HIT) oraz instrumentalnego modułu Younga (EIT) są również niewielkie, jednakże można zauważyć, że bardziej zwarta budowa oraz niższa porowatość powłok AS wpływają na uzyskanie nieznacznie wyższych wartości zarówno HIT, jak i EIT.

In this work, the tungsten carbide reinforcement in cobalt matrix (WC-Co-Cr) coatings was studied. The deposition process was carried out by high-velocity oxy-fuel spraying (HVOF). The study aimed to investigate the influence of one of the key process parameters, namely spray distance, on the coatings’ microstructure and phase composition, as well as their mechanical and tribological properties. The manufactured coatings were analysed by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), instrumented indentation test, pull-off adhesion test and ball-on-disc method. The results revealed that selection of proper spray distance caused a high index of carbide retention (ICR) amounting to 0.95, which promoted higher hardness and better wear resistance. Instrumental microhardness was in the range of 14.2–14.8 GPa, whereas the Young modulus exhibited values from 336 GPa up to 342 GPa. The bond strength of deposited coatings was in the range of 55–65 MPa. Wear factor values were in the range of 73–81 × 10−7 mm3/(N · m) and the friction coefficient was about 0.4. The dominant wear mechanism is abrasion and adhesive mode supported by the fatigue-induced material delamination.

The paper presents the computational studies on the microstructure of WC-Co-Cr coatings deposited by High Velocity Oxy Fuel spraying (HVOF). The study covers the porosity assessment according to ASTM E2109-01 standard, carried out in ImageJ software, in terms of volume porosity, size and shape of the pores. The evaluation was preceded by scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations at magnifications of 2000x and 5000x. Additionally, topography analysis has been performed by confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM), and the surface roughness Ra was evaluated by the contact method with use of a stylus profilometer. Finally, the influence of porosity was observed for coatings microhardness HV0.3. According to the results, the total closed porosity was found to be in the range of 5.01 vol.% and 5.38 vol.%. The dominated pores in the coatings were of size 0.1-1.0 μm. Studies showed that HVOF process enabled deposition of dense coatings, characterized by homogenous distribution of pores and low roughness.
