摘要
Thermal reactive diffusion coating of vanadium carbide on DIN 1.2367 die steel substrate was performed in a powder mixture consisting of ferro-vanadium, ammonium chloride, alumina and naphthalene at 950, 1050 and 1150 degrees C for 1-5h. The carbide layers were characterized by means of microstructure, microhardness, X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis. Depending on the coating process time and temperature, the thickness of the vanadium carbide layer formed on the substrate ranged from 2.3 to 23.2 pm. The hardness of vanadium carbide layers was about 2487 HV. Dry wear tests for uncoated and coated DIN 1.2367 die steel were carried out on pin-on-disk configuration and at a sliding speed of 0.13 m/s. The results showed superior wear properties of the coated samples. The kinetics of vanadium carbide coating by the pack method was also studied and the activation energy for the thermo-reactive diffusion process was estimated to be 173.2 kJ/mol.
