Abstract
Al-based metallic glass powder was deposited by high
pressure Cold Gas Spray technology onto Aluminum-
7075-T6 alloy. Cold Gas Spray parameters such as
stand-off distance, gas pressure and gas temperature were
varied in order to investigate the optimal conditions to
obtain better mechanical and corrosion properties of
assprayed coatings. X-ray diffraction and differential
scanning calorimetry were used to study the amorphous
nature of feedstock powders and coatings, while optical
microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and Vickers
microhardness were employed to determine thickness,
porosity and hardness. Wear and corrosion measurements
were carried out on optimized Al-based metallic glass
coatings. Sliding wear behavior was evaluated using a
ballon-disk tribometer, while the corrosion behavior was
studied through electrochemical measurements in NaCl
solution at room temperature. The results show an
improved wear resistance in the order of 200% higher and
higher corrosion resistance than Al-7075-T6 substrate.
Present results prove that Al-based metallic glass
coatings are a good option to protect Al-alloys in
corrosive and wear environments.
