Coated WC powders by sputtered nanostructured Ni and stainless steel

resumo

The efficiency of the powder surface modification depends on their surface characteristics. Sputtering has been revealing an important skill for the coating of powders with metal and metal alloys, with important consequences on the surface properties. However, some modifications in the holder of this particulate substrate have obliged to set up some changes in a non-conventional sputtering system. The aim of the present work is to demonstrate the efficiency of the prototype developed and the influence of deposition parameters in the quality of coated powders; tungsten carbide powders and austenitic stainless steel (SS) and nickel targets have been selected. These types of materials are used in tungsten carbide parts/devices as binders to promote the technological process; as coatings they decrease the interparticle friction reducing the pressure of shape forming as well as the temperature of sintering process.
