There are relevant reports on preparing TiB2 particle reinforced metal matrix composite (MMC) anti-wearing coating by plasma spraying and HVOF spraying methods successfully. The research uses electric arc spraying with low cost and convenient operation to prepare four TiB2 particle reinforced composite coatings with high bonding strength and uniform microstructure. It makes comparative study on elevated temperature erosion actions of coating and 45CT of electric arc spraying. The results indicate the coating has excellent erosion wearing resistance. TiB2 particles in M-TiB2 coating have small size, have good unity with metallic matrix, and are distributed on metallic matrix with high hardness relatively uniformly, and porosity of coating is low. Such MMC coating microstructure feature avoids micro-cutting of coating effectively, and reduces plastic deformation and material transfer of wearing surface. The coating has excellent erosion resistance.
