Fabrication of multiple carbide particles reinforced Fe-based surface hardfacing layer produced by gas tungsten arc welding process

In this paper, a multiple carbide particle reinforced Fe-based surface coating has been in situ synthesized by gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) melting a precursor mixture of graphite, ferrotitanium (Fe-Ti) and ferrovanadium (Fe-V) alloy powders on AISI 1020 steel substrate. The microstructure and wear properties of the Fe-based surface hardfacing layers were investigated by means of a scanning electron microanalysis (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and wear tester. The results showed that (Ti,V)C multiple carbide particle and TiC carbide particle can be synthesized via reaction of Fe-Ti, Fe-V and graphite during GTAW melting process. The selection area diffraction pattern (SADP) analysis indicated that (Ti,V)C crystallizes with the cubic structure, which indicates that (Ti,V)C carbides were multiple carbides with V dissolved in the TiC structure. The Fe-based surface hardfacing layer reinforced by multiple carbides gave an excellent wear resistance and appeared a mild wear with fine scratches.

Elucidating the microstructure and wear behavior of tungsten carbide multi-pass cladding on AISI 1050 steel

In this work, tungsten carbide powder was clad on AISI 1050 medium carbon steel by multi-pass gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) method. The microstructure and wear performance of the multi-pass clad layers were characterized by micro-analysis rigs and reciprocating tribometer. A local alloying process was used to synthesize a vein-like phase in the microstructure of multi-pass clad layers. The vein-like phase was identified by X-ray diffraction as Fe₃W₃C. Both the hardness and the wear performance of the multi-pass clad layers exceeded that of AISI 1050 medium carbon steel. However, under specific wear test conditions, wear loss was higher in the multi-pass clad layers than in the substrate. Further wear tests and micro-analyses were conducted to clarify the peculiar phenomenon. Experimental results suggest that some metastable phases are transformed in situ to a stable phase, which reduces the wear resistance of clad layer during the dry rubbing process.

Microstructure and wear properties of TiC/FeCrBSi surface composite coating prepared by laser cladding

Titanium carbide particles reinforced Fe-based surface composite coatings were fabricated by laser cladding using a 5 kW CO₂ laser. The microstructure, phase structure and wear properties were investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, as well as dry sliding wear test. The results showed that TiC carbides were formed via in situ reaction between ferrotitanium and graphite in the molten pool during the laser-clad process. The morphology of TiC is mainly cubic and dendritic form; and the TiC carbides were distributed uniformly in the composite coating. The TiC/matrix interface was found to be free from cracks and deleterious phases. The coatings reinforced by TiC particles revealed higher wear resistance and lower friction coefficient than that of the substrate and FeCrBSi laser-clad coating.

Evaluation of mass loss of weld-deposited hardfacing with cored wire Ti-FeCrC alloy

In this article, we have studied the mass loss of hardfacing applied by flux-cored arc welding. Heat input, shielding gas and number of layers of coating were changed to application of Fe–Cr–Ti–C self-shielded tubular wire. Overlapping beads were deposited on plates of carbon steel AISI 1020 to analyse the mass loss, hardness and microstructure. For the analysis of mass loss, beads were deposited forming overlapping layers of coatings. Hardness measurements were performed on the surface of the specimens of wear. A rubber wheel abrasion tester was used to access the mass loss of coatings. The coatings had retained austenite and martensite microstructure with carbides finely dispersed in the matrix. The main factors that contributed to the increase in mass loss were the cracks due to higher cooling rate of the samples deposited with low heat input, the dilution in the first layer of all samples also contributed to the increase in mass loss. The smallest mass losses were those deposited coatings with high heat input, the second and fourth layers, the samples AC2, AC4 and AS2. The volume fraction of titanium carbides contributed to the decrease in the mean free path between the particles of carbides and increased the wear resistance of the coatings.

TiC对铁基合金喷焊层组织与性能影响

目的研究不同TiC添加量对铁基合金喷焊层组织与性能的影响。方法采用等离子喷焊技术在Q235表面制备了铁基合金喷焊层,借助X射线衍射分析、金相显微镜、显微硬度计以及磨粒磨损试验设备,分别对喷焊层的物相、显微组织、显微硬度、耐磨性能进行测试。结果未添加TiC的喷焊层主要由马氏体、奥氏体、(Fe,Cr)_7C_3、(Fe,Ni)固溶体等物相组成,加入不同含量的TiC后,出现了TiC、TiB_2等新物相,但各试样的衍射强度均存在相应程度的降低,某些区域的衍射峰甚至消失。随着TiC含量的增加,喷焊层的硬度和耐磨性增加,但硬度和耐磨性能在TiC添加量达到一定程度(w_(TiC)3.0%)时反而降低。当TiC添加量为3%时,喷焊层的组织致密,晶粒细化,TiC弥散分布,其颗粒对喷焊层组织产生了弥散强化和细晶强化作用;显微硬度可达843HV_(0.5),较未添加TiC喷焊层提高了约300HV_(0.5),其相对耐磨性较Q235钢提高了约12倍,显微硬度与耐磨性得到显著提高。结论添加适量的TiC颗粒,可使金属基体与硬质相达到良好匹配,从而确保了喷焊层的高硬度和良好的耐磨性能。     

石墨含量对石墨/TiC/镍基合金复合涂层微观组织与摩擦学性能的影响

为了降低TiC/镍基合金复合涂层的摩擦因数并增强其耐磨性能,运用等离子喷涂技术在45#钢表面制备石墨/TiC/镍基合金（GTN）复合涂层。研究石墨含量对GTN涂层组织和摩擦学性能的影响。结果表明,石墨的加入有效地降低了涂层的摩擦因数,提高了其耐磨性。6.56GTN涂层和12.71GTN涂层分别在低载荷与高载荷摩擦条件下呈现出优异的减摩耐磨性能。在低载荷条件下,GTN涂层的磨损机理主要表现为多次塑变磨损,伴有轻微的磨粒磨损,且随着石墨含量的增加逐渐转变为多次塑变、层脱和微切削磨损;在载荷增加后,脆性断裂、微观切削和粘着为其主要的磨损机理,且随着石墨含量的增加逐渐转变为微观切削和脆性剥落。     

Tribological properties of TiC-Fe coatings obtained by plasma spraying reactive powders

Titanium carbide-based coatings have been considered for use in sliding wear resistance applications. Carbides embedded in a metal matrix would improve wear properties, providing a noncontinuous ceramic surface. TiC-Fe coatings obtained by plasma spraying of spray-dried TiC-Fe composite powders containing large and angular TiC particles are not expected to be as resistant as those containing TiC particles formed upon spraying. Coatings containing 60 vol% TiC dispersed in a steel matrix deposited by plasma spraying reactive micropellets, sintered reactive micropellets, and spray-dried TiC-Fe composite powders are compared. The sliding wear resistance of these coatings against steel was measured following the test procedure recommended by the Versailles Advanced Materials and Standards (VAMAS) program, and the inherent surface porosity was evaluated by image analysis. Results show that, after a 1-km sliding distance, TiC-Fe coatings obtained after spraying sintered reactive powders exhibit scar ring three times less deep than sprayed coatings using spray-dried TiC-Fe composite powders. For all coatings considered, porosity is detrimental to wear performance, because it generally lowers the coating strength and provides cavities that favor the adhesion of metal. However, porosity can have a beneficial effect by entrapping debris, thus reducing friction. The good wear behavior of TiC-Fe coatings manufactured by plasma spraying of sintered reactive powders is related to their low coefficient of friction against steel. This is due to the microstructure of these coatings, which consists of 0.3 to 1 μm TiC rounded particles embedded in a steel matrix.
