Tribological behavior of the kinetic sprayed Ni59Ti16Zr20Si2Sn3 bulk metallic glass

Gas atomized amorphous Ni 59 Ti 16 Zr 20 Si 2 Sn 3 feedstock particles were fed into warm gas dynamics and they were successfully overlaid onto the mild steel substrate. Through the X-ray diffractometry and differential scanning calorimetry, it could be confirmed that thermally activated processes such as crystallization and in-flight particle oxidation were effectively suppressed during the modified kinetic spraying process. In order to evaluate the tribological behavior of the kinetic sprayed Ni 59 Ti 16 Zr 20 Si 2 Sn 3 BMG coating, a partially crystallized coating and a fully crystallized coating were prepared by isothermal heat treatments.
