Abstract: Ti3SiC2 coating was prepared with Ti3SiC2 powder as electrical spraying material by using self-made continuous powder-feeding electrical explosion spraying equipment.According to the surface morphologies and cross-sectional characteristics of the prepared coating,the effects of charging voltage,powder particle size,and graphite blending amount on the electrical explosion spraying process were analyzed.The results show that when the particle size of the powder is 28 μm,the charging voltage is higher than 15 kV,and the appropriate amount of graphite powder is 10%,the coating deposition rate is higher and the uniformity is better.The XRD analysis results show that the coating is composed of TiC and Ti3SiC2.The bonding strength of the coating determined by using the cemented dual sample tensile test method is greater than 37 MPa.Therefore,graphite powder blending can improve the conductivity of the powder during electrical explosion,reduce the surface discharge of the outer edge of the powder particles,make the powder to be heated more thoroughly,and help the coating formation.

Key words: electrical explosion spraying, Ti3SiC2 coating, coating morphology
