Al 2 O 3 as feedstock were deposited on AZ91D magnesium alloy substrates by cold spray (CS). The content of a-Al 2 O 3 in the feedstock was 25 wt.% and 50 wt.%, respectively. The effects of a-Al 2 O 3 on the porosity, microhardness, adhesion and tensile strength of the coatings were studied. Electro

✦ Synopsis
Pure Al and 6061 aluminium alloy based Al 2 O 3 particle-reinforced composite coatings were produced on AZ91E substrates using cold spray. The strength of the coating/substrate interface in tension was found to be stronger than the coating itself. The coatings have corrosion resistance similar to that of bulk pure aluminium in both salt spray and electrochemical tests. The wear resistance of the coatings is significantly better than that of the AZ91 Mg substrate, but the significant result is that the wear rate of the coatings is several decades lower than that of various bulk Al alloys tested for comparison. The effect of post-spray heat treatment, the volume fraction of Al 2 O 3 within the coating and of the type of Al powder used in the coatings on the corrosion and wear resistance was also discussed.
