Resumo

A structural, mechanical and thermal characterization of an AI-Co-Fe-Cr coating alloy was performed. An atomized powder with atomic composition of Al71Co13Fe5Cr5 was thermally sprayed by high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) on a steel substrate. X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry were used to characterize the atomized powder and the sprayed coating. Vickers micro hardness and pin-on-plate wear test were carried out for mechanical and tribological characterization and an infrared camera was used to evaluate the insulation capacity of the coating material. The results show that both the atomized powder and the coating material were composed predominantly by a quaternary extension of the hexagonal Al5Co2 phase and by the monoclinic Al13Co4. Both phases are quasicrystalline approximants of a decagonal Al-Co quasicrystal. The coating samples presented high values of micro-hardness, close to 500 HV and substantially low friction coefficient values, around 0.05. The coatings were good thermal insulators, decreasing by 30% the surface temperature of a sample exposed to a hot plate in comparison with the carbon steel substrate. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.
