Plasma sprayed coatings on crankshaft used steels

Wear and friction characteristics of atmospheric plasma sprayed Cr3C2–NiCr coatings

“…Amongst various thermal spray techniques, atmospheric plasma spray (APS) technique is being used to coat many industrial components due to its better microstructure and properties without the presence of unmelted powder particles, voids, and cracks [17–19]. Balamurugan et al [17]; Sahab et al [19]; Mahu et at [20]; Chuanxian et al [21] and many other authors had developed various coatings by the APS technique and reported the better mechanical properties and more resistance to wear [17,19–21]. In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to explore the potential of the APS technique on various die steels used in the hot forming.…”

“…The literature reveals that the Cr 3 C 2 –NiCr coatings were deposited on various components to combat erosion, wear, and corrosion at higher temperatures [19–30]. The coated specimens maintained their hardness and strength at temperatures up to 900°C [22–25].…”

Evaluation of the Corrosion Resistance of Some Coating Obtained by Thermal Spray in Plasma Jet, on the Surface of Some Crankshafts Made of C45 Steel

“…There have been studies on the deposition of powders by the APS method, which have highlighted the increased hardness and rigidity of the layers, but also that the coatings obtained by this method are very adherent even without a coating, having a good resistance under the conditions. high temperature even if they have a small layer thickness [12][13][14][15][16]. The oils used for modern engines have an exchange range that can reach 30000 km.…”
