4. Conclusions
- Increasing the wire feed rate from 2 to 12 cm/s leads to an increase in coating thickness to 699 μm and a significant reduction in porosity to 4.33%. However, further increasing the speed to 12 cm/s can increase the surface roughness. The hardness of the coating increases as the wire feed rate is raised from 2 to 8 cm/s, reaching 404 HV. However, a further increase to 12 cm/s results in a decrease in hardness.
- The optimal SoD for achieving a thicker coating is 150 mm, while a denser coating is achieved at 200 mm. However, increasing the SoD to 250 mm results in a significant decrease in coating thickness and an increase in porosity. The lowest hardness of the coating, 280 HV, is observed at an SoD of 100 mm, highlighting the importance of accurately selecting the SoD to achieve the best mechanical properties.
- The maximum thickness and minimum porosity values of the coatings are achieved at gas pressures of 7 and 9 MPa, indicating that these pressures are optimal for producing dense coatings. Gas pressure has a significant effect on the surface roughness, reducing it from Ra = 18.63 μm at 6 MPa to Ra = 15.95 μm at 8 MPa. The maximum hardness of the coating is achieved at a pressure of 7 MPa, emphasizing the need for precise pressure control to obtain the best mechanical properties.
