Resumen:
Significant contribution on corrosion-erosion resistance of Ni3B-TiB2 nanocomposite coating of 1 μm of thickness, deposited by DC magnetron Sputtering on stainless steel 304 substrates was studied. Nickel phase (γ Ni) plus Ni3B-TiB2 phases were synthesized previously by Mechanical Alloying (MA). Solid cathode (76.2 mm of diameter and 3 mm of thickness) used to grow thin films was manufactured with the alloyed powders, applying a uniaxial load of 70 MPa at room temperature and sintered at 900 °C for two hours. Microstructure and mechanical properties of the coatings were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), nanoindentation, and wear test with a ball-on-disc tribometer. Compact coating of Ni3B-TiB2with a microstructure of prismatic crystals after annealing treatment, showing a uniform coating with good adherence and low friction coefficient of 0.5, correlated with a low roughness of Ra ≈ 0.0439 ± 0.0069 μm. The average hardness of 537.4 HV(5265.0 MPa) and wear coefficient at room temperature of 2.552E-10 m2 N−1 correspond with medium-hard phases with an elastic-plastic behavior suitable for fatigue applications. Geothermal fluid modified was synthesized in the lab with NaCl/Na2SO4 to evaluate the corrosion resistance of the films in a standard three electrodes cell, characterizing a corrosion rate of 0.0008 and 0.001 mm* year−1 at 25 and 80 °C respectively during 86.4 ks(24 h) of exposition; showing a resistive coating without corrosion products and with good response to the geothermal environment
Descripción:
The research and development of functional coatings of new metal-ceramic materials using a new route of processing that combines Mechanical Alloying and PVD Sputtering offer great possibilities for protecting components exposed to aggressive environments where the wear and corrosion at high temperature are the leading root cause of failures.
