Abstract
Aluminium bronze coatings on steel were deposited by the ion plating process using a slug-fed resistively heated evaporator. The coating material was Cu14Al4.5Fe1Ni alloy which is known to have good non-galling properties in sheet metal forming. The structures of the coatings deposited at various evaporation rates were studied by scanning electron microscopy, chemical microanalysis and X-ray diffraction. The composition of the coatings varied in a regular manner through the thickness and the grain size was small.
