Abstract
The study of the formation of composite coatings of the FeTi‒SiC system, produced by spraying using thermal spraying methods: subsonic (plasma) and supersonic (detonation), was carried out. Composite powder, produced by the method of mechanochemical synthesis of ferrotitanium and silicon carbide powder mixture, was used as the feedstock for spraying. Selection of the composition of powder mixture of ferrotitanium and silicon carbide for the process of mechanochemical synthesis was carried out on the basis of thermodynamic calculations of changes in the values of isobaric-isothermal potentials (Gibbs energy) of reactions in the FeTi‒SiC system with selection of the reaction whose passage is the most favorable from a thermodynamic point of view. As a result of mechanochemical synthesis, a composite powder of the FeTi‒(SiC, TiC, Ti5Si3) system with an amorphous-nanocrystalline structure was produced. Heterogeneous composite coatings consisting of a Fe2Ti metal matrix with uniformly distributed ceramic inclusions of titanium carbide and silicide and oxide components were produced by plasma and detonation spraying methods. By studying the mechanical characteristics, it was established that the produced thermal sprayed coatings of the FeTi–SiC system are classified as materials with a microcrystalline heterophase structure by the type of structural state. The microhardness of the coatings is 8.5 and 8.0 GPa for plasma and detonation coatings, respectively.
