Integrated Quality Ensuring Technique of Plasma Wear Resistant Coatings

Abstract

We propose the technique of guaranteed quality wear resistant plasma coatings of high-chromium powder material. The appropriate system of engineering models had to be designed in order to obtain the summarized results, as well as to manage the parameters of quality indicators at all stages of the technological processing procedure. Thus, surface roughness was accepted as a criterion in the model development at the stage of preliminary mechanical processing before spraying coatings. The model of plasma coating process proper takes into account the influence of spraying on the main quality indicators, such as adhesive strength, porosity, and the level of residual stresses. The engineering model of finish abrasive grinding is based on ensuring the desired value of the surface roughness parameter provided the geometric and dimensional accuracy of details was achieved.
