X Abstract

Thermal spraying is often used to create coatings protecting parts against physico-chemical aggressions or improving superficial mechanical properties. It involves several problems because of the high temperatures of the process: cracks, porosity, coating adhesion. The authors use Vickers interfacial indentation test to characterize adhesive fracture between substrates and coatings. From the Lawn's relation two curves: load/crack length ratio (P/C3/2) vs crack length (C1/2) and ln P vs ln C are drawn for varying loads. They allow the determination of the type of residual stress, a coating fracture "toughness"/residual stress ratio (KC/[sigma]r) characterizing interfacial behavior and may lead, in some cases, to residual stress [sigma]r. Influence of superficial remelting by CO2 laser of cermet coating Cr3C2/Ni-Cr deposited on NiCrAlY covered steel and of annealing of Cr3C2/Ni-Cr coated cast iron are then studied. Possibility of reducing residual stress is shown at the same time as the interest of both approaches.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
