(Ti,Mo)(C,N)-Ni , one of advanced TiC based spray powders, consists of core-rim-structured hard phase embedded in metal Ni binder phase. (Ti,Mo)(C,N)-Ni coatings prepared by HVOF shows interesting properties of low friction as well as high wear resistance under high temperature around 400-800 degree C, compared to other conventional WC and CrC based coatings. Influence of powder properties on spray ability and coating properties has been studied in this study. It has been found that grain size of carbide affects deposition efficiency in HVOF spray process. Microstrucure, hardness and wear properties of (Ti,Mo)(C,N)-Ni coatings have been also investigated to find out optimized powder properties for HVOF.
