RESUMO

In this work, the viability of the application of multicomponent white cast iron coatings was studied using high velocity oxygen fuel thermal spray process. The best spray condition, varying the oxygen and propane flow rate, the oxygen/propane ratio, the spraying distance and the powder size, was used for the application of coatings in steel and multicomponent white cast iron substrates with and without preheating. Carbon content, final temperature, thickness, porosity, hardness, adherence, mass loss, friction coefficient and abrasive wear mechanism of the coatings were characterized. The coatings that presented lower porosity and greater hardness were those deposited with oxygen/propane ratio of 4.6, spraying distance of 200 mm and powder size between 20 and 45 μm. With these parameters, coatings with adherence of 84 MPa in steel substrate, without preheating and final temperature of 200 °C, were obtained. The final temperature was identified as the most important factor for the adherence value. Moreover, the coating mass loss was similar to the multi-component white cast iron substrate tempered and annealed. The factors responsible for the high adherence and lower mass loss were the elimination of the retained austenite and the sintering of particles of the coating when the samples were tempered and annealed. The predominant wear mechanism was microcutting associated with the fracture of the lamellae near to unmelted particles, pores of spraying process and the voids formed in the wear process. Considering the levels of adherence and mass loss verified in this work, the application of multicomponent white cast iron coatings using high velocity oxygen fuel thermal spray process is viable.
