Abstract
Cold spray (CS) technology has proven an enormous potential in the production of composite coatings, enabling a production of materials with superior qualities such as enhanced tribological behavior. This study aims to investigate the tribological properties of CS Al-based composite coatings reinforced by quasicrystalline (QC) particles. Two different Al alloys were used as the matrix, AA 6061 and AA 2024, and mixed with Al-based QC particles (Al-Cr-Fe-Cu) at different Al/QC ratios. A room-temperature ball-on-disc test was then used to evaluate the wear resistance of the CS composite coatings in air and compared to those of the CS non-reinforced Al alloy coatings as well as cast counterparts (AA 6061-T6). We have demonstrated that CS could be employed to produce dense and thick Al-QC composites. Further, the addition of the QC particles into the structure increased the wear resistance of the matrix resistance up to 8 times.
