Study of the effect of hydrogen in iron aluminide coatings on the tribological behavior
EF 2018-19
Résumé
It has already been established that iron aluminide coatings (Fe3Al) can increase the resistance to corrosion,*oxidation and abrasion of materials. Application in the field of energy production are actively considered. For*example as coating on turbo-generators of hydro-electric power plants. A desirable characteristic of these*coatings is that they should be impermeable to hydrogen. Indeed, the presence of hydrogen in steel causes the*embrittlement and loss of mechanical properties. In this project we will study the impact of hydrogen uptake on*the wear resistance of iron aluminide coatings on stainless steel. The influence of the intrinsic characteristics of*coatings (crystalline structure, chemical composition, thickness, etc.) and extrinsic characteristics (hydrogen*pressure, temperature, pH, etc.) on hydrogen uptake and wear resistance properties will be studied. This study*will be done in partnership with the Institute of Hydro-Québec Research at Varennes (IREQ) and WEIR*Canada.
