Abstract

Colmonoy 6 (NiCrSiB) is a Ni-based alloy recognized for its superior mechanical properties, attributed to the presence of a dispersion of hard carbides and borides, which is strongly dependent on processing technique. This work gathered microstructure data from the literature and analyzed Colmonoy 6 coatings deposited by plasma transferred arc hardfacing. The aim of the study was to determine the influence of PTA deposition parameters and substrate chemical composition on NiCrSiB coating characteristics. Coatings were characterized in terms of their hardness, dilution, and microstructure, as well as mass loss during abrasive sliding wear tests. The results showed that coating performance is strongly dependent on the chemical composition of the substrate. Carbon steel substrate yielded coatings with greater wear resistance. Processing parameters also alter the performance of coatings, and the lower current and lower travel speed result in reduced mass loss.
