Abstract:
The Al
2O
3-40% TiO
2 coating was made by plasma spraying, and remelted laser beam. The erosion resistance of plasma sprayed coating and laser remelted coating were tested respectively, and the effect of laser remelting on erosion resistance of plasma sprayed Al
2O
3-40% TiO
2 coating was studied. The results show that the layered structure of plasma sprayed Al
2O
3-40% TiO
2 coating can be changed by the laser remelting. The γ-Al
2O
3 phase transforms into α-Al
2O
3, and the laser remelted coating exhibits a stable structure which consists of α-Al
2O
3 and TiAl
2O
5. A compact, uniform, highly hard and good metallurgical bonded Al
2O
3-40% TiO
2 coating can be obtained. The erosion resistance of the plasma sprayed coating has been greatly improved by laser remelting, and the wear characteristics caused by the erosion sand particles are crack, crush and block desquamation.
