Abstract

The author effectively created a composite coating with enhanced durability utilizing the HVOF technique in this investigation. The automobile business has encountered fierce worldwide rivalry, rapid technical breakthroughs, and strict regulatory regulations in recent year.. Producers of lubricants, gasoline additives, and worldwide original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are striving to address the difficulties presented by changing consumer preferences and emerging energy conservation and environmental protection regulations. We have successfully created and analyzed composite coatings by the HVOF method, with the goal of improving resistance to wear. The existence of composite coating on steel was verified by FESEM and EDS, demonstrates the presence of a composite coating, characterized by the aggregation of composite particles and an uneven surface structure, as well as the occurrence of porous imperfections and also demonstrating favourable mechanical characteristics such as micro-hardness, as well as outstanding tribological performance. This study has the potential to uncover new uses for composite coatings on steel substrates, namely in areas that require enhanced mechanical strength, resistance to corrosion, and increased performance in friction and wear. The present study was investigated using FESEM, micro-hardness and tribo-meter testing. These composite phases demonstrated excellent mechanical qualities, such as high micro-hardness, and exceptional tribological performance, including low coefficient of friction and high wear resistance. The composite coating was subjected to testing at various temperatures (60, 120, 180°C). The researchers noted that the micro-hardness of the composite coating increased as the temperature rose, which was attributed to the development of oxide and carbide layers within the composite coating. The wear testing findings revealed that the composite coating exhibits lowest COF (0.15), and 30 μm wear at 180°C temperature.
