The finishing of composite coatings in aspect of surface roughness reduction

The influence of the shape and grade of inserts upon the geometric structure of the composite coatings Ni-5%Al- 15%Al2O3 and alloy coatings of Ni-5% Al is considered in the paper. Nickel matrix coatings were sprayed by the Casto-Dyn 8000 torch on a steel substrate, and then subjected to straight turning. Determining of the optimum geometry of indexing is now synonymous with the selection of the optimum shape and dimensions of the insert and of an appropriate holder. According to cutting board it was selected square, triangular, trigon inserts, made of carbide and of cubic boron nitride (borazon). Machining of nickel-based coatings was carried out for the cutting speed vc = 214 m/min in the case of treatment with borazon inserts, vc = 107m/min in case of plates treated with tungsten carbide cutting, using the feed fn=0.06mm/rev and the depth of cut ap = 0.3 mm. Metal cutting the surface of steel samples coated with a composite coating containing 15% Al2O3 based on nickel, conducted for the cutting speed vc = 157 m/min when machining with borazon inserts and for vc = 83 m/min inserts with tungsten carbide for feed fn = 0.06 mm/rev and depth of cut ap = 0.3 mm. Highly precise finishing of flame spraying composite and alloy coatings was carried out using turning by tool with borazon inserts. Flank (VB) and attack (KB) wear coefficient of inserts while maintaining a constant spiral cutting length (SCL) were determined. Important elements parts (such as engines, pumps, centrifugal separators) are regenerated during long-term utilization. This paper proposes the use of regenerated technology subsonic flame thermal spraying and surface finishing by turning composite and alloy coatings of ship machinery parts.
