| Abstract | Electrotribological applications require materials with both high electrical conductivity and wear resistance. For this purpose, it was proposed to develop a copper-based plasma-sprayed coating containing titanium diboride particles. The process for fabricating this Cu-TiB ₂ coating consists of plasma-spraying reactive powders which contain a Cu-Ti alloy and boron. The reaction between the copper alloy and boron proceeds in different steps going from solid-state diffusion of Ti and Cu to the synthesis of TiB ₂in a liquid below 1083 ° C. Plasma-sprayed copper coatings contain finer TiB ₂ crystals than Cu-TiB ₂ materials synthesized in a furnace at 1200 °C. Coatings with vol. 25% TiB₂ have a hardness which is comparable to Cu-Co-Be and Cu-Ni-Be alloys and to Cu-W and Cu-Mo alloys used in spot welding. Their low electrical resistivity of 52 μΩcm could be increased by lowering the oxygen content within coatings and controlling the formation of TiB₂ clusters, the titanium content in solution in copper remaining low after the synthesis reaction. |
