Abstract

In this study, three different powder (alumina, boron, and ekaboron III) combinations were coated on the austenitic stainless steel surface by the PTA welding method. The microstructure and wear resistances of the composites coating obtained under different parameters and coating layer were comparison and analyzed. The microstructure, microhardness, and abrasion resistance of different powder coatings were compared and systematically investigated. It has been found that successful bonding is present in almost all of the coatings made and the microstructure of all sample were different. However, the highest hardness values (alumina, ekaboron III and boron) were measured as 1133, 1154, and 1220 HV, respectively. Trying to find the most suitable coatings by comparing different commonly used powders has been the main goal in this study.

Keywords: boron; ekaboron III; NiAl + Al2O3; PTA coating
