Abstract

Abstract: A nickel alloy matrix high-temperature self-lubricating coating (77.5 wt% (Ni–Cr–Mo–Al)–12.5 wt% Ag–10 wt% BaF2/CaF2) was prepared by plasma spraying technique. Results show that the Vickers microhardness of coating is (2.9 ± 0.5) GPa, and the average bonding strength is about (35.6 ± 0.5) MPa. The coating rubbing against Inconel 718 superalloy pin exhibits superior tribological performance with coefficient of friction (COF) of below 0.25 and wear rate of 8.2 × 10–5–15.2 × 10–5 mm3·N−1·m−1 at a wide temperature range from 25 to 800 °C, and the COF and the wear rate are slightly reduced with temperature increasing. The low COF and wear rate were attributed to the synergistic effects of Ag, BaF2/CaF2, Ag2MoO4 and BaMoO4. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
