To　manufacture　a　protective　coating　with　low　thermal　conductivity　and　good　frictional　wear　performance,　a　Fe59Cr12NbsB20Si4　was　designed　and　produced　to　prepare　coating　by　High　velocity　oxygen　fuel　(HVOF)　spraying,　in　comparison　with　commercially　stain　steel　AlSl　316L　coating.　Both　as-deposited　coatings　exhibit　dense　layered　structure　with　the　porosity　below　1%　and　slight　oxidation.　The　microstructure　of　Fe-based　coating　composes　of　amorphous　matrix　and　some　precipitated　nanocrystals,　resulting　in　the　thermal　conductivity　of　designed　Fe-based　coating　(2.66　W/mK)　is　significantly　lower　than　that　of　stain　steel　coating　316L(5.87　W/mK).　Depending　on　the　structure　advantage,　the　Fe-based　coating　exhibits　higher　microhardness,　reaching　to　1258±92　HV.　The　friction　coefficient　and　wear　rate　of　Fe-based　coating　display　an　increase　at　200＇C　followed　by　a　decrease　at　400°C　determined　by　the　evolution　of　wear　mechanism　at　different　temperature.　The　dominant　wear　mechanism　of　Fe-based　coating　at　room　temperature　is　fatigue　wear　accompanying　with　oxidative　wear.　At　200°C,　due　to　the　existence　of　＇third　body＇　abrasive　wear,　the　wear　process　was　accelerated.　The　large-area　oxide　layer　is　supposedly　responsible　for　the　decrease　of　friction　of　the　coating　at　400°C.　©　Copyright　2017　by　DVS　Media　GmbH.　All　rights　reserved.
