Abstract
This article details the down-selection procedure for thermally sprayed coatings for aluminum injection mould tooling. A down-selection metric was used to rank a wide range of coatings. A range of high-velocity oxyfuel (HVOF) and atmospheric plasma spray (APS) systems was used to identify the optimal coating-process-system combinations. Three coatings were identified as suitable for further study; two CrC NiCr materials and one Fe Ni Cr alloy. No APS-deposited coatings were suitable for the intended application due to poor substrate adhesion (SA) and very high surface roughness (SR). The DJ2700 deposited coating properties were inferior to the coatings deposited using other HVOF systems and thus a Taguchi L18 five parameter, three-level optimization was used to optimize SA of CRC-1 and FE-1. Significant mean increases in bond strength were achieved (147 +/- 30% for FE-1 [58 +/- 4 MPa] and 12 +/- 1% for CRC-1 [67 +/- 5 MPa]). An analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that the coating bond strengths were primarily dependent on powder flow rate and propane gas flow rate, and also secondarily dependent on spray distance. The optimal deposition parameters identified were: (CRC-1/FE-1) O-2 264/264 standard liters per minute (SLPM); C3H8 62/73 SLPM; air 332/311 SLPM; feed rate 30/28 g/min; and spray distance 150/206 mm.
