Abstract

A detector combining indentation method and acoustic emission (AE) technique was developed for evaluating the bonding strengths of sprayed coatings. In order to study the effect of indentation conditions on cracking failure behavior of sprayed coating, FeCrBSi coating was prepared by plasma spraying technique. The AE signals during indentation test were abstracted and investigated. The morphologies of indented samples were observed by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). The results indicate that indentation equipment can induce the cracking failure of coating and AE technique can define the critical statues. The test by interior load was feasible and accurate for evaluating the bonding strength. The key influential factor of indenter lied in the contact area between indenter and coating. The loading rate had little effect on AE signal. The loading conditions were optimized to use diamond indenter with interior load and a loading rate of 100 pulses per second.

Kurzfassung

In der diesem Beitrag zugrunde liegenden Studie wurde ein Detektor entwickelt, der das Eindruckverfahren mit der akustischen Emmissiontechnik (Acoustic Emission (AE)) kombiniert, um die Bindungsfestigkeit von Spritzschichten zu bestimmen. Um die Auswirkungen der Eindruckbedingungen auf das Rissverhalten von Spritzschichten zu untersuchen, wurde eine FeCrBSi-Beschichtung mittels Plasmaspritzens vorbereitet. Die akustischen Emissionssignale während des Eindringversuches wurden abstrahiert und untersucht. Die Morphologien der eingedrückten Proben wurden mittels Rasterelektronenmikroskopie (REM) untersucht. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass mit der Eindruck-Vorrichtung Risse in der Beschichtung verursacht werden können und dass die AE-Technik den kritischen Zustand diesbezüglich bestimmen kann. Der Versuch mit interner Belastung war durchführbar und genau, um die Bindungsfestigkeit zu berechnen. Der Haupteinflußfaktor auf den Eindringkörper war die Berührungsfläche zwischen Eindringkörper und Beschichtung. Die Belastungsgeschwindigkeit hatte dabei einen geringen Effekt auf das AE-Signal. Die Belastungsbedingungen wurden optimiert, um einen Diamant-Indenter bei interner Belastung und einer Belastungsgeschwindigkeit von 100 Pulsen pro Sekunde zu verwenden.
