简介：Inconel718superalloycoatingwaspreparedonamartensiticsteelsubstratebycoldgasdynamicspraying(CGDS).Microstructureandmicro-hardnessofthecoatingwerecharacterizedbymeansofscanningelectronicmicroscope(SEM),energydispersivespectrometer(EDS),andmicro-hardnessandnano-indentationtests.Theresultshaveindicatedthatthecoating’sthicknesscanreachmorethan300μm,andthereexistsagoodinterfacialcohesionbetweenthecoatingandthesubstrate.Thequantityandsizeofthedefectsatthebottom,middleandtopareasincreasegradually.ThereisnosignificantchangetotheoriginalmicrostructureoftheInconel718superalloyparticleaftertheprocessofCGDS;andanobvioustorsionaldeformationontheparticle’sprofileisproducedwhilelittledeformationatthecenterpartoccurs.Themicro-hardnessofthecoatingatthebottom,middleandtopareasdecreasesinturn.Comparedwiththebottomarea,themicro-hardnessofthemiddleandtopareasdecreasesbyabout10%and21%,respectively.Thenano-hardnessofthecoatingismuchlowerthantheoriginalparticle,whichdecreasesbyabout13.5%atthebottomareaand28%atthetoparea,respectively.Thedistributionofmicro-defectsisanimportantfactortothemicro-hardnessofthecoating.
