Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a composite coating and a method of preparing a composite coating resistant to galling and fretting. The coating is applied to a substrate and includes a mixture of hard carbide particles in an alloy matrix or oxides and solid lubricant particles captured in a binder. The coating is produced by using a thermal spray process to apply a powder containing both the hard face or oxide phases as well as the self lubricating phases. Thus, the applied coating of the present invention combines the benefits achieved with previous thermal spray coatings in terms of wear, abrasion, heat and corrosion with those afforded by solid lubricants. In addition, the coating of the present invention provides consistently distributed surface porosity to retain liquid lubricant on the coating surface.
