Abstract:

Stellite 6 Co-based and Hӧganӓs Fe-based alloy coatings were deposited on austenitic engine valve using plasma transferred arc (PTA) hardfacing. The microstructures, composition distribution and mechanical properties of coatings were investigated by combining optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microcopy (SEM), field emission electron-probe analyzer (EPMA) and nanoindentation technique. The microstructures of hardfacing coatings consist of three phases which belong to hypoeutectic structure and Co-based coating has more uniformed and regularly changed microstructure. The determination of mechanical properties reveals that Co-based coating attains higher hardness value (~5.229 GPa), H/E (0.0265) and H3/E*2 (0.00323) than that of Fe-based coating, signified better wear resistance property.
