Application of reaction nitrogen arc cladding TiCN/ Fe composite coating on cutter of agricultural machinery

In order to solve the high-price and short-lifetime problems of the cutter of agricultural machinery,and improve the wear resistance of the cutter,the TiCN/Fe metal ceramic composite coating was prepared on the substrate of Q235 steel by reaction nitrogen arc cladding technique.The mixture powder of titanium and graphite was preplaced on the Q235 steel surface after inteasive mixing by planetary ball mill and gluing with starch binder.The microstructure and phase of the coatings,interface behavior between coatings and the substrate were investigated by scanning electronic microscope and X-ray diffractometer.The micro-hardness distribution of the coating section was tested by micro-hardness tester.Friction coefficient and wear weight loss were measured by abrasion machine.Wearing surface morphology was investigated by scanning electronic microscope.The results show that an excellent bonding between the coatings and the Q235 steel substrate is ensured by the strong metallurgical interface and phase of the coatings.The coatings are mainly composed of TiCN.The highest microhardness of the coatings reaches 1 089 HV0.2,while the micro-hardness of Q235 steel substrate is only about 286 HV0.2.The anti-abrasive test results show that the wear resistance of the cladding coating is better than that of quenched and tempered 65 Mn steel which is often used as cutter of agricultural machinery.The field test results show that the TiCN/ Fe metal ceramic composite coating prepared by reaction nitrogen arc cladding is feasible to the manufacture and remanufacture of the cutter of agricultural machinery.     

Characteristics of Fe-based WC Composite Coatings Prepared by Double-pass Plasma Cladding Process

The Fe-based WC composite coatings were clad on Q235 steel by double-pass plasma cladding method,in which the WC-Co(WC covered with cobalt:78wt%WC,12wt%Co)doping was about 10wt%,20wt%and 40wt%,respectively.The microstructure and wear performance of the composite coatings were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD),scanning electron microscope(SEM),energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS)and ball-disc wear tests.The results show that the clad coatings contain mainly?-Fe,WC and carbides(Cr23C6,Fe3W3C-Fe4W2C)phases and the precipitation of carbides increases with the increase of WC-Co doping content.The WC-Co doping content has an obvious effect on the microstructure of the clad coatings.For the clad coatings with low WC-Co doping,the microstructure gradually transforms from planar crystal at the interface of substrate/coating to cell/dendritic crystal at the middle and the upper portion of the coatings.But there are a number of fishbone-like structure at the middle and the upper portion of clad coating with 40wt%WC-Co doping.The microstructure at the top is smaller than that at the bottom for all the coatings.The maximum of hardness of the clad coatings is 72.3HRC which is about 6.9 as much as the hardness of Q235 steel substrate.The composite coatings have good wear resistance due to the reinforcement of carbide particles and the strong bonding between carbide particles and ferroalloy.The suitable increase of WC-Co doping content can improve the wear resistance of the composite coatings.

The microhardness of the coating surface was highest at 1140 HV_(200g), which was significantly higher than that of the substrate.

Amorphization of Fe38Ni30Si16B14V2 surface layers by laser cladding

Fe38Ni30Si16B14V2 amorphous composite coatings were fabricated by laser cladding on AISI 1045 steel in order to increase the wear resistance. The phase and microstructure of the coatings were analyzed by X-ray diffractometry and transmission electron microscopy. The wear properties of the coatings were also investigated by means of sliding wear test. The results show that the coating consists of amorphous phase in majority and nanocrystalline phase in minority. The amorphous coatings can be obtained while the scanning speed is 3 500 mm/min and the laser power is 4.8 kW. With increase of the laser power, the amorphous phase in the coating increases when it is lower than 4.8 kW. A gradient distribution of the microhardness ranges from Hv0.2 1 208 to Hv0.2 891 in the coating from top surface of the coating to the substrate. The amorphous coating is found to possess better property of wear than AISI 1045 steel substrate.     

Microstructure and wear resistance of Fe-based and Co-based coating of AISI H13

Fe-based and Co-based cladding layers were prepared on the surface of AISI H13 hot die steel by laser cladding technology. The microstructure, hardness and abrasion resistance of the two cladding layers were studied by means of optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, rockwell hardness tester, and high temperature friction and wear tester. Also, the red hardness of the cladding layers was measured, after holding the layers at 600 ℃ for 1 hour by muffle furnace and repeated 4 times. The rockwell hardness values of the substrate, the Fe-based and the Co-based alloy coating measured were HRC 47, HRC 52 and HRC 48, respectively. The red hardness values of the substrate and the Fe-based cladding layer were decreased, while that of the Co-based cladding layer was increased. The Co-based cladding layer has the minimal wear loss weight and friction coefficient among them. The wear mechanisms of the substrate, the Fe-based layer and the Cobased layer attribute mainly to abrasive wear, adhesion wear, and both of them, respectively.

The corrosive wear resistance and the corrosion resistance of five coatings were tested. The results show that the corrosive wear resistance of the coating with 5.0wt% Mo is better than those of other coatings. During the corrosive wear process, the corrosion and wear effects are combined. The corrosive wear resistance is closely related to the microstructure of the coating.
