Influence of Processing Parameters on the Local Scratch Resistance of Cold Sprayed Ti6Al4V Coatings

Abstract:

Ti6Al4V coatings were cold sprayed onto the same bulk alloy at standard conditions, using 800 °C as gas temperature, and a set of new conditions, using 1100°C as gas temperature, which improved coatings performance. Some of these coatings, processed with innovative parameters, were heat treated to promote adhesion and reduce porosity. Scratch tests were performed using a nanoindenter Agilent G200 and the effect of both normal load and scratch velocity were explored. The different mechanisms responsible of wear were evaluated, identifying ploughing and cutting as the main abrasion mechanisms. The wear rate measured in the standard coating was the highest, indicating that this material could not be used to repair the bulk component. However, the abrasion resistance measured in the coatings sprayed at 1100°C was similar to that found in the bulk substrate. Therefore, cold spray could be used for repairing using the new conditions evaluated in this work.
