The NiTi intermetallic possesses a number of good properties, such as high wear, oxidation, and corrosion resistance. This paper focuses on the deposition of NiTi intermetallic coatings on Ti6Al4V substrate by laser melting of Ti and Ni elemental powder mixtures. The effect of varying the Ti content in the NiTi composition on the microstructure and wear properties of the coatings was investigated. The microstructure of the NiTi intermetallic coatings were characterized by the scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with Energy Dispersive Spectroscope (EDS). The wear properties of the coatings were performed under accelerated dry sliding wear tests. The results obtained from the SEM/EDS analysis; show that the coatings consist of Ni and Ti elements from the feedstock, and the NiTi, NiTi2and NiTi3, intermetallic phases. Dry sliding wear analysis revealed that there is correlation between the hardness and the wear rate. The coatings displayed significant improvement in wear resistance up to 80% compared to the substrate.

In this research, Cu-9Pb high leaded bronze were prepared by spray forming. The microstructure and wear properties of this bronze alloy were systematically investigated. The results show that although the hardness of spray formed alloy was not increased comparing with the cast alloy, it still presented a lower wear rate and a lower friction coefficient in dry sliding wear tests as shallower grooves and more lubricating films were observed in the spray formed bronze (BSF14). Spray forming also refined the lead phase microstructure of Cu-9Pb bronze and improved its wear properties.

Some properties of boride formed on gray cast iron (GCI) have been investigated. GCI was boronized by powder-pack method using Commercial LSB-II powders at 1123, 1173, and 1223 K for 2, 4, 6, and 8 h, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy showed that boride formed on the surface of boronized GCI had tooth-shaped morphology. The hardness of boride formed on surfaces of GCI ranged from 1619 to 1343 HV0.025, and quenched and tempered GCI ranged from 400 to 610 HV0.025. The boride formed in the coating layer confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis was Fe2B single phase. Depending on boronizing time and temperature, the thickness of coating layers on boronized GCI ranged from 26 to 105 μm. The activation energy was 209 kJ/mol for boronized GCI. Moreover, the possibility of predicting the iso-thickness of boride layers variation was studied. Dry-sliding wear tests showed that the wear resistance of boronized sample was greater than that of quenched and tempered sample.

A wear resistant TiC-Cr7C3/Fe surface composite was produced by cast technique and in-situ synthesis technique. The microstructure and dry-sliding wear behavior of the surface composite was investigated using scanning electron microscope(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and MM-200 wear test machine. The results show that the surface composite consists of TiC and Cr7C3as the reinforcing phase, α-Fe and γ-Fe as the matrix. The surface composite has excellent wear-resistance under dry-sliding wear test condition with heavy loads.
