摘要
Abstract Nanostructured and conventional AlzO3- 13 wt%TiO2 coatings were manufactured by air plasma spray. Friction and wear behaviors of coatings were investigated at room and elevated temperatures using an SRV wear test machine. The nanostructured coating has ＂two regions＂ microstructure, while the conventional coating has typical layered microstructure with obvious interfaces among splats. The coefficient of friction decreases with rising of temperature because of the for- mation of tribo-layer at elevated temperatures. The wear resistance of the nanostructured coatings is higher than that of the conventional coating, and the wear threshold of applied load is 30 N for conventional coating and 40 N for nanostructure coating. The wear resistance difference is related to the ＂two regions＂ microstructure of nanostruc- ture coating, which could blunt or branch the cracks propagation. In our test ranges, the wear rates rising are more sensitive with the applied wear load rising than with the temperature rising.
