MoB-CoCr- Molybdenum Boride Cobalt Chrome

image
  • Molybdenum Boride coatings offer good resistance to high temperature, erosion and sliding wear.
  • Our HVAF Molybdenum Boride composite coating has excellent non-stick properties at high-temperature applications.
  • The anti-stick coating is inert to molten metals (Zinс, Zinc-Aluminum, Aluminum, etc.)

Molybdenum-based composite powder (Molybdenum/NiCr and Molybdenum/CoCr) deposited on SKD 61 (AISI – H-13) substrates are used as a preferred die (mould) material (khan Pt. al 2011). The durability of these coatings on cylindrical specimens against soldering has also been investigated by immersing them in the molten aluminum alloy (ADC-12) for 25 hours at 670˚C.

Research of Composite Anti-Stick Coatings

 

  • Laboratory research has shown that boride-based thermal spray coatings meet the above requirements for temperatures above 900˚F. Immersion tests have demonstrated that the MoB-based thermal spray coatings have much higher durability in the molten Al and Al-Zn alloys than conventional thermal spray tungsten carbide coatings. No damage or dissolution was observed in the MoB-based coating after long-term immersion in molten Al-45wt.%Zn alloy. On the other hand, conventional cermet and ceramic coatings were damaged due to dissolution or crack generation.
  • MoB-based cermet materials have excellent durability against molten aluminum because the matrix in MoB-based coating is a Co-based alloy compared with the pure Co metal matrix in the tungsten carbide coatings. The inertness of the matrix may be the reason for the higher erosion resistance of the MoB-based coating.
