Prof. N. El-Mahallawy and Prof. M.O.A. Mokhtar have been ideal teachers, and thesis supervisors, offering advice and encouragement with a perfect blend of insight and professionalism. I’m proud of, and grateful for, my time working with them. Many thanks to my colleagues, and their encouragement to write this thesis made me confident that the topic was worthy of my investigation—and that my investigation was worthy of the topic. I do appreciate all the efforts that have been made by each knowledgeable person I met in the journey of this research, and all organizations that permitted utilizing their facilities to accomplish the whole experiment. Thesis Summary Atmospheric Plasma Spraying (APS) could be considered the most leading industrial technique among a wide range of protective coating techniques for surfaces of metals and mechanical parts, especially for enhancing the behavior of the wear resistance and thermal barrier coating. Accordingly, this thesis subjects the study of mixing pure Aluminum powder separately with two different powders of Nickel-based alloys to create six types of Aluminum-Nickel compositions to be deposited with three thicknesses (300, 600, 900 μm) on Stainless steel (304) substrate using APS technique, then performs a Pin-on-Disc experiment for all samples. A comprehensive analysis for all samples with thickness 600 μm and their characterization is presented using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), porosity, surface roughness, and microhardness measurements. In addition, investigations have been performed to study the effect of different compositions and thicknesses on the wear resistance patterns. The findings of this research illustrate the existence of two intermetallic compounds, namely: NiAl and Ni3Al, where the formation of NiAl is unavoidable in all samples with any amount of the Ni-based alloys or even the Nickel’s atomic percentage. Whereas the formation of Ni3Al depends on the percentage of Ni-based alloys in Ni5Al samples only. As regards the substrate, results have shown that the microhardness in the interdiffusion zone has been considerably improved. On the subject of wear testing, samples with Ni/Al alloys provide more promising patterns of wear resistance rather than samples with Ni 5Al powders, due to the existence of intermetallic compound Ni3Al. And the thickness of samples has an explicit impact on the wear rate behavior, where it was inversely proportional with the wear rate for all samples B (Ni 5Al – Al), despite its positive effect on samples A (Ni/Al – Al). |
