Laser cladding process is used to obtain protective coatings using as heat source a laser. This melts the substrate and the feedstock material to create a protective coating and provides a strong metallurgical bond with minimal dilution of the base material and reduced heat affected zone. In the present study a commercial NiCrSiFeB composition was deposited by laser cladding process using different parameters onto the surface of a steel substrate. The obtained coatings were investigated in terms of microstructure, hardness and wear behavior. The experimental results revealed that the laser power had a considerable influence on the wear resistance of NiCrSiFeB coatings.

Purpose This paper aims to discuss that a WC/Co-Cr alloy coating was applied to the surface of H13 steel by laser cladding. Design/methodology/approach The oxidation behavior of the WC/Co-Cr alloy coating at 600°C was investigated by comparing it with the performance of the steel substrate to better understand the thermal stability of H13 steel. Findings The results showed that the WC/Co-Cr alloy coating exhibited better high-temperature oxidation resistance and thermal stability than did uncoated H13 steel. The coated H13 steel had a lower mass gain rate and higher microhardness than did the substrate after different oxidation times. Originality/value The WC/Co-Cr alloy coating was composed of e-Co, CW3, Co6W6C, Cr23C6 and Cr7C3; this mixture offered good thermal stability and better high-temperature oxidation resistance.

In order to improve the work efficiency and save resources in the process of laser cladding on the H13 steel surface, based on COMSOL, by combining computer simulation and experiment, a plane continuous heat source model was used to simulate and analyze the temperature and stress field. The optimal power and scanning speed were obtained. It is found in the simulation process that the thermal sampling points stress increases with the increase of laser power and scanning speed. Because of the existence of solid–liquid phase variation in the laser cladding process, there are two peaks in the maximum thermal stress cycle curve of the sample points located in the molten pool, and the starting and ending time of each sample point’s peak value is basically the same. When the sample point is outside the molten pool, because the metal at the corresponding location is not melted, so there is no obvious peak value in the thermal stress cycle curve. With the increase of cladding layer depth corresponding to each sample point, the variation range of the two alternating thermal stress peaks increases first and then decreases, while the duration increases. According to the peak value of alternating thermal stress at the sampling point, the molten pool depth can be predicted. The residual stress analysis of the cladding layer is carried out according to the analysis results of temperature field and stress field. Through the actual cladding experiment, it is found that the depth of molten pool in the simulation results is basically consistent with the experimental results. All simulation results are verified through actual cladding experiments.

In order to analyze temperature field and stress field of Co-based alloys laser cladding, the model of Co-based alloys laser cladding with preset-powder method has been made on low carbon steel substrate. The temperature field and stress field of laser cladding process was analyzed by SYSWELD software, and Experimental verification is done. The results showed that temperature field is appear to a trailing tail of comet, favorable metallurgy bonding with 12.3% dilution was obtained by scanning velocity was 4 mm/s. and instantaneous cooling rate of molten pool with 4 mm/s and 5 mm/s are increased to 1.47 times and 2.02 times of 3 mm/s. The transverse residual stress different nodes on the surface of coatings are always tensile stress, and it is almost steady, the maximum deformation is 0.34 mm at the edge of work-piece, these are consistent with experimental results. These results provide reference and guide to obtain high quality coatings.

In this paper, the laser cladding is created by using Co50 powder and TiC mixture, covering a H13 hot-working steel substrate. The samples are analyzed by the hardness test, XRD, SEM, and friction test to identify the forming phases, microhardness distribution, and wear-resistant characteristics. The results indicated that hardness reduces from the coating zone to the substrate, achieving the highest value at the coating zone. Increasing the content of TiC results in improving the coating hardness. The coatings with 10%–20% TiC show high-quality surface morphology and macrograph. With 30% TiC, the hardness obtains a higher hardness, but the surface appears to crack. The microstructures of the coatings present a well-mixed and well-distribution of the TiC particle on the Co matrix. The friction coefficient of H13 steel and Co50 coating reaches the maximum value when the load is 50 N and mostly decreases with the increase in the load. The wear rates of H13 steel and Co50 coatings mainly increase with the increase in the load. The temperature has a greater influence on the friction coefficient of the Co50 coating. However, the temperature has a small effect on the friction coefficient of the 20% TiC coating. The wear resistance of 20% TiC coating is higher than that of H13 steel, Co50 coating, and 10% TiC composite coating. At room temperature, the wear mechanism of the coating is mainly brittle spalling, adhesive wear, and ploughing. At 700°C, the wear mechanism is mostly oxidation wear and fatigue wear. After laser cladding, the service life of the coated surface could be greatly improved. The Co + 20% TiC coating has high hardness and wear resistance.

In this paper, laser cladding technology was used to prepare a Fe-based coating on H13 steel substrate and its corrosion behavior in molten zinc was studied. The results show that laser-cladding Fe-based coating can effectively protect the substrate from the corrosion of molten zinc, which is mainly related to its microstructure. The typical microstructure of the coating is composed of α-(Fe, Cr) solid solution matrix and CrFeB eutectic phases continuously distribute around the matrix. When molten zinc contacts with the surface of the coating, it corrodes the α phase matrix preferentially and CrFeB eutectic phases with better corrosion resistance interweave with each other to form a three-dimensional skeletal structure, which can play the role of diffusion barrier and slow down the diffusion rate of liquid zinc. The corrosion by molten zinc leads to the formation of a transition layer and an outer corrosion layer above the coatings. With the prolongation of the corrosion time, a large number of micro cracks are generated inside the transition layer and fracture gradually occurs under the action of thermal stress. The partial spalling of the transition layer and the corrosion of α phase matrix occur at the same time, making the corrosion depth of the coating increase continuously. However, the dense corrosion layer above the coating and the dispersed boride fragments can still function as a barrier to the inward diffusion of molten zinc.
