Fine-particle slurry wear resistance of selected tungsten carbide thermal spray coatings

Slurry Erosion Behaviour of Detonation Gun Spray Al2O3 and Al2O3–13TiO2-Coated CF8M Steel Under Hydro Accelerated Conditions

“…The D-gun spray process involves the entrainment of powdered materials with the high-velocity combustion products of a detonation wave as it propagates through a water-cooled barrel. The two phase mixture of molten particles and detonation products exits the barrel and impinges against a target substrate, where the hot particles bond in overlaying platelets [6]. Ceramic materials being relatively cheap and abundant almost everywhere; are now commonly employed in the form of coatings to resist wear.…”

Aspects of microstructure on the synergy and overall material loss of thermal spray coatings in erosion–corrosion environments

“…Synergy is therefore an electrochemically related component of damage. The isolation of each component is relevant for understanding the mechanisms of material loss with the aim of optimising different compositions for different applications and environments [16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

Wear prevention behaviour of nanoparticle suspension under extreme pressure conditions

“…Results show that they can deposit on the rubbing surface and improve the tribological properties of the base oil. Micron particles of a certain hardness have also been reported to lead to abrasive friction [19]. The results observed by Xue et al [8] and Dong et al [17] also point to nanoparticles displaying good friction and wear reduction characteristics even at concentrations below 2 wt.%.…”
