Abstract  

Fe-WC/metal double layer coatings containing Fe-C-Si super hard alloy (SHA) particles and tungsten carbide (WC) particles were fabricated on Al7075 substrates by resistance seam welding method to improve the wear resistance of aluminum alloys. The micro-structure and phase compositions of the Fe-WC/metal double layer coatings with different WC particle sizes (fine and coarse) were investigated by SEM and EPMA. Nano-hardness of different phases in the coatings were investigated by nano-indentation test. Finally, the friction behavior of the two kinds of Fe-WC /metal double layer coatings were contrasted by ball-on-disc test using WC and SUS 304 balls. The results show that the thicknesses of Fe-WC composite/metal double layer coatings were about 600 μm. The microstructure of the coatings was: WC/Fe composite (wear resistance layer)+Fe/Al composite (metal interlayer)+Al7075 substrate. When WC ball was used as the static counterpart, the wear mechanism of the coatings with fine and coarse WC particles were severe abrasive wear and brittle fracture with little abrasive wear, respectively. When SUS304 was used as the static counterpart, the coating with fine WC powder was demonstrated difficulty to be abraded due to the protection of the iron oxide adhesive layer, and the other proved a little brittle fracture. Moreover, the wear rate of both coatings using SUS304 ball was lower than that of WC ball in the ball-on-disc test.
