Molten Aluminum-Induced Corrosion and Wear-Resistance Properties of ZrB-Based Cermets Improved by Sintering-Temperature Manipulation.

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 ZrB as the hard phase, ZrB-based ceramic composites were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS).
