超音速火焰喷涂制备多峰WC-12Co涂层的抗汽蚀性能

摘要

Conventional,submicron and multimodal WC-12Co cermet coatings were deposited by high velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF).The microhardness and microstructure of the coatings were compared,and the resistance of the coatings to cavitation erosion was studied by ultrasonic vibration cavitation equipment.Cavitation pits and craters were observed by SEM and cavitation mechanisms were explored.The results show that the microstructures of submicron and multimodal WC-12Co coatings prepared by HVOF are dense with little porosity,and their microhardness values are obviously higher than that of the conventional WC-12Co coating.The average microhardness of multimodal WC-12Co coating reaches nearly HV1500,whieh is much higher than that of the conventional one.As well,it is found that the multimodal WC-12Co coating exhibits the best cavitation erosion resistance among the three coatings,the erosion rate is approximately 40％ that of the conventional coating,and the cavitation erosion resistance of multimodal WC-12Co coating is enhanced by above 150％ in comparison with the conventional coating.%采用超音速火焰喷涂技术制备常规、亚微米及多峰3种WC- 12Co金属陶瓷涂层,比较分析涂层的显微硬度及显微组织.采用超声振动汽蚀装置研究3种涂层的抗汽蚀性能,并采用扫描电镜观察涂层表面的汽蚀坑,探讨不同涂层的汽蚀机理.研究表明:采用超音速火焰喷涂制备的亚微米及多峰WC- 12Co涂层结构致密、孔隙率低,其显微硬度明显高于常规的WC- 12Co涂层.多峰WC- 12Co涂层的平均显微硬度接近HV 1500,远高于常规的WC- 12Co涂层.在3种涂层中,多峰WC- 12Co涂层表现出最优良的抗汽蚀性能,涂层的汽蚀率大约为常规涂层的40％；与常规涂层相比,多峰WC-12Co涂层的抗汽蚀性能提高150％以上.
