Abstract

To improve tribological performance of inorganic aluminum phosphate composite coating at high temperature,the hybrid materials of multi-walled carbon nanotubescovered by aluminum oxide was prepared and added to above coatings. The properties andstructure of the hybrid materials were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis(XRD),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR),Raman spectroscopy,thermogravimetry analysis(TG), and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). And the effect of filler content on mechanical properties and wear resistance of the composite coatings were studied. All the results showedthat nano-Al2O3 was successfully grafted on the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNTs). The surface-modified MWCNTs’ oxidation temperature could be increased by over 100 ℃,and was dispersed more easily. The hardness and bonding of the coatings showeda tendency of increasing and then dropping with the increasing Al2O3-MWCNTs content,when the Al2O3-MWCNTs was 0. 4% of the total coating component,the hardness could be increased to nearly twice as much,and its adhesion raised to nearly 2. 6 times. The results ofthe friction and wear coupling test at high temperature of 600 ℃ demonstrated that when thecontent of Al2O3-MWCNTs was 0. 4%,the friction coefficient of the coating reduced to 0. 659, and the wear rate reached the lowest value of 2. 73×10-4 mm3/( N·m). Which indicated that the introduction of Al2O3-MWCNTs hybrid materials enhanced the tribological performance of inorganic phosphate.
