 Abstract:
The Thermal Spray processes are widely used to fabricate corrosion and wear resistant coatings respectively. However, these coatings have to be finished generally in subsequent steps, for example by turning, milling or grinding, to fit the desired purposes, e.g. surface roughness and accuracy. Up to now grinding is the most common post processing for wire arc sprayed coatings, but in recent years the hard turning technology gained high interest for coating treatment due to high machining efficiency.
The aim of the present work is a deep understanding of machinability of different thermal sprayed coatings. For this reason microstructure analysis (SEM and hardness) before and after machining process had been carried out. Within the investigations a significant increase of hardness due to the hard turning process at Fe-Mn coatings had been verified. This effect, the force induced martensitic transformation, could improve the mechanical properties of the coating considerably.
Based on the investigations presented in this paper, a deep insight into post processing for thermal sprayed coatings is given.
