Abstract

This study aims to explore the potential advantages of employing D-Gun coating techniques to enhance the performance properties of grey cast iron (GCI). The primary focus is on analyzing the impact of D-Gun coating on various factors, including the coefficient of friction, wear, hardness, surface roughness, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and bonding strength. The investigation delves into the coating and adhesion properties of different materials, such as Al2O3, Al2O3-13TiO2 and WC, on GCI substrate. The characterization of WC-coated materials is a key aspect that significantly influences the outcomes. SEM images provide tangible evidence supporting the assertion of adhesion between coated materials and the subsequent performance in wear tracking. The findings from this research are poised to make a substantial scholarly contribution, fostering the advancement of coated materials and consequently enhancing levels of safety, reliability and longevity.
