Quasicrystalline coatings based on Al65Cu20Fe15 are of increasing interest as potential alternatives to conventional wear-resistant materials due to their unique structural and tribological properties. This study explores the influence of air pressure during high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spraying on the phase composition, morphology, and wear behavior of Al65Cu20Fe15 coatings deposited on U8G tool steel. Coatings were applied at a fixed spraying distance of 350 mm using three air pressures (1.9, 2.1, and 2.3 bar), with constant propane (2.0 bar) and oxygen (2.1 bar) supply. X-ray diffraction analysis identified the formation of Al78Cu48Fe14 and Al0.5Fe1.5 phases, while scanning electron microscopy revealed a dense, uniform microstructure with low porosity and homogeneous element distribution across all samples. Tribological testing using the ball-on-disk method showed wear track widths ranging from 853.47 to 952.50 µm, depending on the air pressure applied. These findings demonstrate that fine-tuning the air pressure during HVOF spraying significantly influences the structural characteristics and wear resistance of the resulting quasicrystalline coatings, highlighting their promise for advanced surface engineering applications.
