Cavitation Erosion Resistance of Ti-Ni Intermetallic Coatings Prepared by Low Pressure Plasma Spray Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the current work, low pressure plasma spray process (LPPS) was applied to deposit Ti-Ni intermetallic coatings with Ni-clad Ti powder as feedstock. The microstructure and phase transition of LPPS sprayed Ti-Ni coating were investigated. Cavitation erosion resistance was examined using a standard ultrasonic cavitation test. The coating mainly consisted of TiNi phase with a certain amount of Ti2Ni, Ni3Ti phase and a few Ti phase. A few pores concentrated on the boundaries of the sprayed splats. The TiNi coating exhibited excellent cavitation erosion resistance.
