Abstract

Herein, An amorphous coating of FeCrMoBSi (namely Fe-18%-20%Cr, 7%-8%Mo, 5%-6%Si and 4%-5%B, in mass fraction) on 310S stainless steel was prepared by high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spraying technique. The corrosion resistance in 3.5%NaCl solution and friction-wear performance before and after heat treatment, as well as the effect of heat treatment on the crystallization behavior for the as prepared amorphous coating were studied. The results indicated that the amorphous coating exhibited excellent corrosion resistance in 3.5%NaCl solution, characterized by the low porosity (2.45%) and the high Cr₂O₃ content (76.51%) in the as prepared coating, which can effectively protect the substrate. However, after being post heat-treated, numerous pores and cracks emerged in the coating, which can act as short-circuit diffusion channel for the corrosive media, leading to poor corrosion resistance. Results of friction- and wear-testing indicated that the as prepared amorphous coating exhibited the lowest wear volume and wear rate (1.784 × 10^-5 mm³/(N·m)). Although, for the post heat-treated coatings, the wear volume and wear rate increase slightly with the increasing heat treatment temperature.

Key words: amorphous coating heat treatment corrosion performance wear performance
