Work

The research project is aimed to studying the influence of structure and phase composition of plasma and detonation sprayed coatings based on titanium chromium carbide with 17, 25, 33 wt.% Ni content on their wear- and oxidation resistance. The research work will consist of the following sections: 1. Study of the structure and phase composition of metal-ceramic coatings obtained by plasma and detonation spraying of composite cladded powders based on titanium-chromium carbide with 17, 25, 33 wt.%. of nickel content. 2. Investigation of high-temperature oxidation of the (Ti,Cr)C-Ni composite powders and thermal coatings with a nickel content of 17, 25, 33 wt.% in air environment at temperatures up to 1000 C. 3. Determination of the influence of nickel content (17, 25, 33 wt.%) on wear behaviour of thermal coatings based on double titanium-chromium carbide. The research project will create the background for further research-innovation activity with industrial application of the (Ti,Cr)C-Ni coatings.
