J. Keranen et al., MICROSTRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF DETONATION GUN-SPRAYED BORIDE-BASED CERMET COATINGS, Surface & coatings technology, 82(1-2), 1996, pp. 29-37
Detonation gun-sprayed cermet coatings containing complex ternary tran
sition metal borides as hard particles dispersed in a stainless steel
or nickel-based superalloy matrix have been characterized to ascertain
the effects of crystallinity and distribution of hard particles on th
e wear properties. Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (S
EM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and analytical transmission electron micr
oscopy (AEM) were used for characterization. Moreover, abrasive wear r
esistance of coatings was evaluated with a rubber wheel abrasion testi
ng system.
