Abstract
Ni-Co alloy and SiC micro-particles were co-deposited on 45 steel by electrodeposition for high temperature performance. The high temperature tribological characteristics were studied by use of a ball-on-disk method. The micrographs and phase structure of the Ni-Co-SiC composite coatings after high-temperature friction were observed by using a field emission scanning electron microscope(FESEM). The results reveal that the Ni-Co-SiC composite coating presents better wear resistance and lower friction coefficient at high temperature in comparison with that of Ni-Co coating and 45 steel substrate. The embedded SiC particles could strengthen the alloy coating by dispersion strengthening effect and changing the friction mechanism from adhesive wear to abrasive wear.
