EFFECT OF Nb AND Mo ADDITION ON THE MICROSTRUCTURE AND WEAR BEHAVIOR OF Fe-Cr-B BASED METAMORPHIC ALLOY COATING LAYER MANUFACTURED BY PLASMA SPRAY PROCESS

초록

Fe-Cr-B-based metamorphic alloy coating layers were manufactured by plasma spray with a Fe-Cr-B-Mo-Nb composition (hereinafter, M+) powder. The microstructure and wear properties of the coating layers were investigated and compared with a metamorphic alloy coating layer fabricated with commercial M material. XRD analysis revealed that the M and M+ coating layers were composed of alpha-Fe, (Cr, Fe)2B, and some metallic glass phases. Wear test results showed that M+ coating layers had a superior wear resistance which had 1.48 times lower wear volume than M coating layers. Observations of the worn-out surfaces and cross-sections of the coating layers showed that M+ coating layer had relatively low oxides along the particle boundaries and it suppress a delamination behavior by the oxides.
