Abstract

The plasma transferred arc (PTA) process has been traditionally used to deposit wear resistant coatings on iron base alloy substrates, but has not been employed to coat lightweight alloys due to processing problems. In the current study, use of the PTA process to deposit TiC, WC, and Cr3C2 coatings on titanium substrates has been explored. The resistance of these coatings to dry abrasive wear has been measured and compared to that of the base metal. The variation in wear resistance of these coatings is discussed in terms of the carbide particle size and the microstructure of the deposit. A comparison is also made to coatings prepared by a laser surface melting and carbide particle injection process.
