Structure property and wear correlations in Al-Ni intermetallic coatings produced by atmospheric plasma spraying
H
Hamed, K.
✦AI Summary
This study evaluates the wear resistance and structural properties of Al-Ni intermetallic coatings applied to stainless steel via atmospheric plasma spraying. Researchers developed a finite element model to predict wear performance, finding that specific powder mixtures significantly enhance coating hardness and durability.
Why it matters
Improving the durability of protective coatings is critical for extending the lifespan of industrial engineering components.
