Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to study the mechanism and effect of rare earth oxides on the properties of Cr2O3-TiO2 coating.

Design/methodology/approach

Cr2O3-TiO2 coatings with different proportion of CeO2 were deposited by atmospheric plasma spraying on aluminum alloy 7005. The mechanical, microstructure and tribological properties were studied.

Findings

The addition of CeO2 could improve the micro-hardness; decrease porosity, wear rate and surface roughness of the coating; and increase the bonding strength between the coating and substrate. The wear mechanism is a mixture of abrasive and adhesive wear.

Originality/value

The addition of CeO2 could refine microstructure, and promote the formation of solid solution structure, and then affect the properties of coatings.
