Laser cladding composite coatings by Ni–Cr–Ti–B4C with different process parameters

To investigate the effect of laser process parameters on microstructure and properties of composite coating, the composite coatings were manufactured by laser cladding Ni–Cr–Ti–B₄C mixed powder on Q235 mild steel with different process parameters. The coatings are bonded with the substrate by remarkable metallurgical binding without cracks and pores. The composite coatings are consisted of in situ synthesized solid solution Ni–Cr–Fe, intermetallic compound (IMC) Ni₃Ti, Cr₂Ti, and ceramic reinforcements TiB₂, TiC. Results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the ceramic reinforcements became coarser with higher specific energy (E_s). There were independent ceramics TiB₂, TiC, eutectic ceramic TiB₂–TiC in coatings, and eutectic alloy–ceramic was detected. Compared with the substrate, the microhardness of coatings was increased significantly, and the maximum microhardness of coatings was approximately five times as high as the substrate. The wear resistance of coatings was improved dramatically than the substrate. Compared to the coatings with lower E_s, higher E_s led to lower microhardness and worse wear resistance ascribing to more Fe diffused into the coating from the substrate.

Effect of molybdenum on microstructure and wear properties of Fe–Ti–Mo–C laser clad coatings

Abstract

The AISI?1045 steel surface was alloyed with preplaced ferrotitanium (Fe–Ti), ferromolybdenum (Fe–Mo) and graphite powders using a 5 kW CO₂ laser. In situ carbide reinforced Fe based surface composite coating was fabricated. The results showed that (Ti,Mo)C particles with flower-like and cubic shapes were formed during laser cladding process. The growth morphology of the reinforcing (Ti,Mo)C carbide has typically faceted features, indicating that the lateral growth mechanism is still the predominant growth mode under rapid solidification conditions. Increasing the amount of Fe–Mo in the reactants led to a decrease in carbide size and an increase in volume fraction of carbide but increased the crack sensitivity of the coating. The multiple carbides of (Ti,Mo)C created a higher microhardness and excellent wear resistance than TiC alone under dry sliding wear test condition.

Laser surface coating of Mo–WC metal matrix composite on Ti6Al4V alloy

Laser surface alloying of Mo, WC and Mo–WC powders on the surface of Ti6Al4V alloys using a 2 kW Nd-YAG laser was performed. The dilution effect upon the microstructure, microhardness and wear resistance of the surface metal matrix composite (MMC) coating was investigated. With a constant thickness of pre-placed powder, the dilution levels of the alloyed layers were found to increase with the incident laser power. The fabricated surface MMC layer was metallurgically bonded to the Ti6Al4V substrate. The microhardness of the fabricated surface layer was found to be inversely proportional to the dilution level. The EDAX and XRD spectra results show that new intermetallic compounds and alloy phases were formed in the MMC layer. With the existence of Mo content in the pre-placed powder, the β-phase of Ti in the MMC coating can be retained at the quenching process. With increasing weight percentage content of WC particles in the Mo–WC pre-pasted powder, the microhardness and sliding wear resistance of the laser surface coating were increased by 87% and 150 times, respectively, as compared with the Ti6Al4V alloy. The surface friction of the laser-fabricated MMC coatings was also decreased as compared with the worn Ti6Al4V substrate.

Structure and properties of laser-cladded Ni-based amorphous composite coatings

A (N_i0.6Fe_0.4)₆₅B₁₈Si₁₀Nb₄C₃ amorphous composite coating has been fabricated on a mild steel substrate by a laser cladding process under different heat inputs. Observation of the structure and phase showed that the thickness of the coating decreased and the amorphous fraction increased when the laser cladding heat input was lower. The cooling rate increases when the heat input decreases, which favours the formation of amorphous phase. Microhardness and wear resistance test results indicated that a lower heat input led to higher microhardness and better wear resistance of the coating. An average microhardness of 1187.0 HV0.2 was obtained with a heat input of 69?J?mm^–1.

Anomalous microstructure and tribological evaluation of AlCrFeNiW0.2Ti0.5 high-entropy alloy coating manufactured by laser cladding in seawater

To evaluate the potential of high entropy alloys for marine applications,a new high entropy alloy coating of AlCrFeNiW0.2Ti0.5 was designed and produced on Q235 steel via laser cladding.The microstructure,microhardness and tribological performances sliding against YG6 cemented carbide,GCr15 steel and Si3N4 ceramic in seawater were studied in detail.The AlCrFeNiW0.2Ti0.5 coating showed an anoma-lous'sunflower-like'morphology and consisted of BCC and ordered B2 phases.The microhardness was approximately 692.5 HV,which was 5 times higher than substrate.The coating showed more excellent tribological performances than Q235 steel and SUS304,a typical material used in seawater environment,sliding against all three coupled balls in seawater.Besides,the wear and friction of AlCrFeNiW0.2Ti0.5 coat-ing sliding against YG6 in seawater were most mild.The main reason was the generation of Mg(OH)2,CaCO3,metal oxides and hydroxides and the formation of protective tribo-film on the worn surface of AlCrFeNiW0.2Ti0.5 coating in the process of reciprocated sliding.This would effectively hinder the direct contact between the worn surfaces of AlCrFeNiW0.2Ti0.5 coating and YG6 ball,resulting in a decrease of friction coefficient and wear rate.Thus the YG6 was an ideal coupled material for AlCrFeNiW0.2Ti0.5 coating in seawater,and the coating would become a promising wear-resisting material in ocean environment.
