Abrasive wear resistance comparative study of plasma-sprayed steel by magnesium zirconate,aluminum-bronze, molybdenum, and mixtures of them as coating materials

الملخص EN

In this investigation, a comparative study among different types of coating materials to improve wear resistance of steel has been conducted.

Three types of coating materials: magnesium zirconate, aluminum bronze, molybdenum, and mixtures of different percentages of them were used.

The influence of load, velocity, and counter surface roughness on each type was determined.

It was found that the addition of molybdenum to magnesium zirconate in a sufficient amount helped in increasing its wear resistance compared to the wear behavior of pure magnesium zirconate.

Moreover, it was found that the greater the thichness of the coating layer, the greater the wear resistance of the material.
