Abstract
Two surface graded coatings on C/PMR15 substrate, Ni-Ni/Cr-WC/Co and PI-Ni/Cr-WC/Co were designed. Microstructure and the ability of resistance thermal shock were tested. The results show that the Ni-Ni/Cr-WC/Co coatings by electroless nickel and HVOF are compacter, higher bond strength than the PI-Ni/Cr-WC/Co coatings by HVOF. The former can resist 300 thermal cycles and have no visible changes, while the latter fail through delamination after 273 thermal cycles. The main reasons are that the layer of electroless nickel can be combined with the substrate through mechanical and atomic forces, and also with the Ni-Cr alloy layer by metallurgic and mechanical reaction, in addition efficiently relax the stress of the coating, so the bond strength of the graded coating is increased.
