Abstract:

It has attracted very strong interests in enhancing the wear resistance of the TiAl intermetallic alloy. In this paper, both plasma-sprayed conventional and nanostructured ZrO2-7wt.%Y2O3 thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) were prepared on TiAl alloy, and microhardness of coating were investigated. Meanwhile, the dry sliding friction tests on the substrate, the traditional coating, and the nanostructured coating were evaluated by ball-on-disk tribometer at room temperature. The results show that the microhardness of nanostructured coating is higher than that of the conventional one. Lower friction coefficient and higher wear resistance than the original TiAl alloy is achieved in the coatings under wear test conditions. Due to the existence of nanostructured microstructures, the nanostructured coating exhibits the lowest friction coefficient, and the best wear resistance. The wear mechanism of the original TiAl substrate is severe adhesive wear. However, the wear mechanisms of the TBCs are mild ploughing and severe adhesion.
