In situ coating of low carbon steel with Ni Al Fe powder mixture via mechanical alloying

Two steps CrAlFeSi coating on low carbon steel prepared by mechanical alloying and its oxidation properties

“…It is indicated a strong bonding between them. This result confirms the previous research report , Bafandeh et al 2017, Chen et al 2016, Li et al 2012, Mohammadnezhad et al 2012, 2013, Romankov et al 2006, Zadorozhnyy et al 2017, where coating prepared by mechanical alloying provides high bonding ability between coating material and substrate. The basic principle of coating using MA is based on balls-materials-substrate collision, which promotes mechanical bonding between coating materials and substrates .…”

“…The strain increased with increasing milling time, resulting in the formation of the crack in the outer layer of the coating surface (Li et al 2014). Simultaneously, the ball milling process also increases the hardening of the coating layer and the tendency of cracking (Bafandeh et al 2017, Chen et al 2016, Li et al 2012, Romankov et al 2009b. Moreover, the microcrack in the coating layer could also be due to the formation of intermetallic phases during MA.…”

“…Recently, mechanical alloying (MA) have been applied to deposit metal or intermetallic compound on a substrate , Bafandeh et al 2017, Canakci et al 2013, Chen et al 2016, Li et al 2012, Mohammadnezhad et al 2012, 2013, Romankov et al 2006, 2009a, b, Saba et al 2016, Wismogroho et al 2009, Zadorozhnyy et al 2017, Zhan et al 2006. Moreover, MA was successfully utilized to deposit a composite coating layer on the substrate (Chen et al 2016).…”

The influence of process parameters on the formation of Al coating on steel by planetary ball-milling

“…Although, some studies [10,11] reported in the literature on investigation of effect of milling parameters on the coating thickness, there has been no study that used RSM for a detailed systematic investigation. In the current study, both individual and interaction effects of several parameters on production of a thick and strong adhesive coating of Al powder on the low-carbon steel substrate were investigated.…”

“…They concluded that the mechanical alloying of 1 h produces the composite granules entirely in the ball mill and heat was formed during the milling process which facilitates the fabrication of denser and robust adhesive coating of Ni-Al intermetallic on the hypo-eutectoid steel substrate. Bafandeh et al [11] studied coating on low carbon steel with Ni, Al and Fe powder mixture by mechanical alloying for the milling time of 2, 4, 8 and 12 h. According to their study, coating thickness of 65 μm was obtained after the milling time of 8 h and no crack on the coating was observed after milling time of 12 h. They reported that the increase in micro-hardness from 200 HV to 930 HV decreased corrosion current density for low carbon steel from 5.49 × 10− 6 A/cm2 to 3.16 × 10− 8 A/cm2 at the end of 8 h for milled and annealed sample, respectively.…”
