Microstructure and wear resistance of electrodeposited RE-Ni-Mo-P-B 4 C-PTFE composite coating

Abstract

The structure, hardness and wear resistance of RE-Ni-Mo-P-B₄C-PTFE composite coating have been studied by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, abrasion testing and microhardness testing. The results show that the structure of RE-Ni-Mo-P-B₄C-PTFE composite coating experiences a transformation from amorphous via a mixture to crystalline as the heat treatment temperature is increased. Crystalline particles in the coating become gradually finer with the addition of B₄C, B₄C plus polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and B₄C plus PTFE plus rare earths (RE), in that order. The hardness and wear resistance of the RE-Ni-Mo-P-B₄C-PTFE composite increase with increasing temperature, reaching peak values at 400°C and 300°C, respectively. The wear resistance of the composite coating is greatly superior to that of other traditional coatings.
