FeBSiNb amorphous coatings were synthesized by arc spray processing. The effects of annealing treatments on the microstructure, elastic and mechanical properties of the coatings were investigated. Annealing below 650 degrees C induces the formation of alpha-Fe phase nanocrystals. Annealing at 650 degrees C promotes the formation of Fe3B, Fe23B6 phases and alpha-Fe solid solution. The as-sprayed coating displays ultra-high hardness (H > 16 GPa), high reduced Young's modulus (E-r > 210 GPa) and good wear resistance. These properties are further improved after annealing treatments (H > 20 GPa and E-r > 260 GPa are achieved in the fully crystallized coating). The mechanical hardening is accompanied with an increase of the ratio of hardness to elastic modulus (H/E-r), the yield pressure (H-3/E-r(2)) and the elastic recovery (eta value). The different microstructural mechanisms responsible for these annealing-induced changes in mechanical and elastic properties are discussed.
