A study on the tribological properties of low-pressure plasma-sprayed Al-Cu-Fe-Cr quasicrystalline coating on titanium alloy

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A friction- and wear-resistant Al-Cu-Fe-Cr quasicrystalline coating was fabricated on substrate of titanium alloy by low-pressure plasma-spraying (LPPS) method. The LPPS Al-Cu-Fe-Cr quasicrystalline coating has a rapidly solidified lamellar microstructure consisting of mainly decagonal phase and small amount of cubic phase peaks. The results showed that Al-Cu-Fe-Cr quasicrystalline coating improved the friction and wear resistance of titanium-based alloys under dry sliding wear test conditions. The excellent wear resistance may be attributed to the high hardness of Al-Cu-Fe-Cr quasicrystal.
