Abstract

Aluminum bronze powders with free and 0.1wt%Ce were plasma spray welded on 45# carbon steel substrate, Effects of rare earth Ce on the microstructure and wear resistance of plasma spray welded novel aluminum bronze coatings were investigated. Tribological properties of coatings were tested on reciprocating sliding tester. Results showed that a small amount of Ce (0.1wt %) in novel aluminum bronze coating can refine the coating microstructure and the coating with 0.1wt%Ce process higher wear resistance compared to the Ce-free coating. Both of the coatings have different wear mechanisms.
