Abstract
- During the hot dip aluminum plating process, components such as sinking rollers, pulling rollers, and guide plates will come into long-term contact with high-temperature liquid aluminum and be corroded by the aluminum liquid, greatly reducing their service life. Therefore, the development of a material with excellent corrosion resistance to molten aluminum is used to prepare parts for the dipping and plating equipment and protect the equipment from erosion, which can effectively improve the production efficiency of the factory and strengthen the quality of aluminum-plated materials, which is of great significance for the growth of corporate profits. With AlFeNiCoCr as the binder phase and ZrB2 as the hard phase, ZrB2-based ceramic composites were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS). SEM, EDS and XRD were used to characterize the microstructure and properties of the sintered, corroded, and abraded material samples. The density, fracture toughness, corrosion rate and wear amount of the composite material were measured. The results show that ZrB2-AlFeNiCoCr ceramics have compact structure and excellent mechanical properties, and the density, hardness and fracture toughness of ZrB2-AlFeNiCoCr increase with the increase in sintering temperature. However, when the composite material is at 1600 °C, the relative density of the sintering at 1600 °C decreases due to the overflow of the bonding phase. Therefore, when the sintering temperature is 1500 °C, the high entropy alloy has the best performance. The average corrosion rate of ZrB2-1500 at 700 °C liquid aluminum is 1.225 × 10−3 mm/h, and the wear amount in the friction and wear test is 0.104 mm3.
