INVESTIGATION OF WEAR

BEHAVIUOR OF DISC PLATE USING

CHROMIUM IN HVOF METHOD
 ABSTRACT
• The investigation of microstructure and
properties of chromium-base alloy has been
carried out after various coating being deposited
by HVOF method and recovering heat treatment
being fulfilled. The optimal conditions of
recovering heat treatment make it possible to
retain the entire complex of mechanical
properties at the level typical for the alloy
without coating. The wear and hardness strength
of the disc plate with coatings have shown the
advantage of coatings with an external chromium
layer of metal coatings.
 INTRODUCTION
• Coating is a covering that can be applied to
the surface of an object, normally called as
substrate. The purpose of application of
coating is the value enhancement of the
substrate by improving its appearance,
corrosion resistant property, wear resistance,
etc. Process of coating involves application of
thin film of functional material to a substrate.
The functional material may be metallic or
non-metallic.
 LITERATURE REVIEW
in 1844 by Wurtz He investigated the metallic nickel deposition from an aqueous
solution of its salt by reduction with hypophosphite occurred as
a result of a chemical accident

Brenner and Riddell Him asked to uncovered the electroless chromium process in
1946 and established this method of controlled autocatalytic
coating in a commercial level.

Pearlstein et al. in Electroless Cr coatings have shown satisfactory performance for

1963 a variety of applications, and their performance can be further
enhanced by adding alloy elements in the Cr coating matrix.
Electroless ternary alloys namely, Cr have been first reported by
Pearlstein
