A method of determining the mechanical properties of a two-layer compositeconsisting of a steel matrix and a plasma spray coating based on amorphizing powders
Yn. Podrezov et al., A method of determining the mechanical properties of a two-layer compositeconsisting of a steel matrix and a plasma spray coating based on amorphizing powders, POWD MET ME, 38(5-6), 1999, pp. 224-227
A method is proposed for measuring failure stresses and elastic modulus for
a coating by means of a four-point bending with precision deflection measu
rement A composite has been examined having an Fe83B17 coating on steel St3
. The moduli measured by this method are lower by factors of 2-3 than that
for the steel. This is explained by the high porosity of coating and weak c
ohesion of the coating particles.
