Investigation of Composite Powders with a Carbide Phase for Plasma Spraying of Wear Resistant Coatings Available to Purchase

Conducted are investigations of powders for plasma spray of wear resistant coatings. Studied are shape, relief and particle size of NiCr-Fe+50(80)%Cr₃C₂, NiCr-Fe+50(80)%SiC powders using scanning electron microscopy. Investigations is supplemented by the results of X-ray structural studies. Investigations serve to develop coatings with the improved oil trap capability, increased hardness and wear resistance, sprayed by a plasma jet. The developed coatings will be used to restore and strengthen machines components
