Titanium-molybdenum spray coatings were obtained by a plasma spraying process and upgraded by infiltration of copper into the coatings. Dense coatings were obtained by infiltration from a copper foil. Adhesion of the coatings to the substrate was markedly improved compared with the as sprayed. condition. The coatings also showed high corrosion resistance to 10%HCl and 10%H2SO4 solutions. The results of wear tests indicated that the coating retains excellent wear resistance, since the bond strength between sprayed particles was increased by the infiltration of copper into the spray coatings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
