The scopes of the research were: (a) to obtain a microstructure gradient, (b) to study the relationship between cathode material and coating layer microstructure/hardness, and (c) to improve coating quality by applying post-deposition heat treatment. An electrothermal axial plasma accelerator with a gas-dynamic working regime was used as plasma source (4.0 kV, 10 kA). The layered structure was obtained by alternation of the cathode material (T1 - 18 wt% W high speed steel and 28 wt% Cr-cast iron). It was found that pulsed plasma treatment led to substrate sub-surface modification by the formation of an 11–18 μm thick remelted layer with very fine carbide particles that provided a smooth transition from the substrate into the coating (80–120 μm thick). The as-deposited coating of 500–655 HV0.05 hardness consisted of “martensite/austenite” layers which alternated with heat-affected layers (layers the microstructure of which was affected by the subsequent plasma pulses). Post-deposition heat treatment (isothermal holding at 950 °C for 2 h followed by oil quenching) resulted in precipitation of carbides M7C3, M3C2, M3C (in Cr-rich layers) and M6C, M2C (in W-rich layers). These carbides were found to be Cr/W depleted in favor of Fe. The carbide precipitation led to a substantial increase in the coating hardness to 1240–1445 HV0.05. The volume fraction of carbides in the coating notably increased relatively to the electrode materials.}, pages = {293--305}, title = {Pulsed plasma deposition of Fe-C-Cr-W coating on high-Cr-cast iron: Effect of layered morphology and heat treatment on the microstructure and hardness}, volume = {304}, year = {2016}, yomi = {シミズ, カズミチ} }
