Sliding friction and wear behavior of Al-Ni-Co-Si quasicrystalline coatings deposited by the high-velocity oxy-fuel spraying technique

The sliding friction and wear performance of Al–Ni–Co–Si quasicrystalline coatingsdeposited by the high-velocity oxy-fuel technique were investigated under dry slidingconditions. This study indicated that changes in the imposed sliding test conditionsmodified the friction and wear behavior of quasicrystalline coatings. Qualitativeanalysis of the contact interface and wear debris were performed with the aim ofunderstanding the role of the third body on the friction and wear processes.The dependence of the coefficient of friction on the sliding velocity and counterpartmaterial was explained by the stick-slip behavior. It was also shown that testconditions favorable for the formation of thick intermediate layers and the densificationof the coating subsurface led to low wear rates. Large cylindrical particles, formed byagglomeration of small wear debris, were suggested as a beneficial factor for thereduction of the coefficient of friction.I.
