Tungsten as the most effective carbide-forming element was added in the Fe–Cr13–C hardfacing alloy to precipitate WC particles. Optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS) were used to investigate the microstructures of the hardfacing alloy. The wear resistance was tested through a slurry rubber wheel abrasion test machine, and the wear behavior was also studied. The results indicate that the microstructures of the hardfacing alloy consist of lath martensite, residual austenite and WC particles. The wear resistance can be significantly improved through the addition of tungsten element being provided by the precipitation of WC particles. And the predominant wear mechanism was microcutting with shallow grooves and spalling.

In order to improve the wear resistance of Ti alloys, different mass ratios of Ti-Si-Al powders were designed to fabricate hard phases reinforced intermetallic matrix composite coatings on the Ti-6Al-4V substrate by laser cladding. The corresponding coatings were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and high resolution transmission microscopy (HRTEM). The HV-1000 hardness tester and MM200 wear test machine were employed to test the hardness and the wear resistance of the composite coatings, respectively. The composite coatings mainly consisted of the reinforcements of Ti5Si3, Ti3AlC2 and Ti7Al5Si[Formula: see text] and the matrix of Ti3Al, TiAl, TiAl3 and [Formula: see text]-Ti. The micro-hardness of the Ti-35Al-15Si coating was from 956 HV[Formula: see text] to 1130 HV[Formula: see text], which was approximately 3–4 times of the substrate and the highest in the three samples. The wear rate of the Ti-35Al-15Si coating was 0.023[Formula: see text]cm3[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]min[Formula: see text], which was about 1/4 of the Ti-6Al-4V substrate. It was the lowest in the three samples.

The Fe-3Ti-xB-4C (x = 1.71, 3.42, 5.10, 6.85 wt. %) hardfacing alloys are deposited on the surface of a low-carbon steel by plasma transferred arc (PTA) weld-surfacing process. Microstructure, hardness and wear resistance have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Rockwell hardness tester and abrasive wear testing machine, respectively. The results show that the microstructure in all alloys is composed of austenite, martensite, Fe23(C,B)6, Ti(C,B) and Fe2B. The volume fraction of eutectic borides and Ti(C,B) carbides increases with increasing B content. Many brittle bulk Fe2B phase arises when the boron content increases to 6.85%, which causes the formation of microcracks in the hardfacing layer. The microhardness of the hardfacing alloys is significantly improved with the B addition, however, the wear resistance of hardfacing alloys increases firstly and then decreases with increasing of B content. The hardfacing alloy with the 5.10% B content has the best wear resistance, which is attributed to high volume fraction of eutectic borides and fine Ti(C,B) particles distributed in the austenite and lath martensite matrix with high hardness and toughness. The formation of brittle bulk Fe2B particles in the hardfacing alloy with the 6.85% B leads to the fracture and spalling of hard phases during wear, thus, reducing the wear resistance.

The influences of the impact angle and the corrosive agent acidity on low-chromium and nickel contained cast iron were studied in the behavior of erosion wear. The wear rule was summarized and the mechanics of the erosion wear behavior were analyzed in this thesis. Erosion wear experiments were carried on MCF-30 erosion test machine, and then the structure and surface morphology of the samples were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the alloy carbide (Fe, Cr)3C was generated by a kind of reticulate distribution in the matrix after oil quench at 960°C and temper at 250°C. The continuous and homogeneous distribution, just like the skeleton of the material, enhanced the wear resistance. The shape of erosion wear curve was M at different impact angles. The biggest wear rate occurred at a 60-degree impact angle. The erosion wear property was greatly affected by the strong acid, but it can be ignored when pH3.

AbstractThe composite coatings were fabricated by laser cladding Ni60A/B4C pre-placed powders on the surface of Ti-6Al-4V alloy for improving wear resistance and hardness of the substrate. In this research, the composite coatings were studied by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrometer. The sliding wear tests were performed using MM200 wear test machine. The hardness of the coatings was tested by HV-1000 hardness tester. After laser cladding, it was found that there was a good metallurgical bond between the laser cladding coating and Ti-6Al-4V substrate. The composite coatings were mainly composed of the matrix of γ-Ni and a little Ni3Ti and the reinforcements of TiB2, TiC and CrB. The hardness of the sample of Ni60A-5B4C was approximately 2.5–3.5 times that of the Ti-6Al-4V substrate. The hardness of the sample of Ni60A-10B4C was 30% higher than that of sample 1. The wear resistance of samples 1 and 2 were 11 times and 10 times that of the substrate, respectively.

A new type of martensite stainless steel deposit electrodes was developed. The welding technicality of the electrodes was analyzed, and the wear resistance of the deposited metal was studied through a slurry abrasive wear test. The results indicated that the welding arc of the electrodes could keep steady during welding process, and the appearance of weld and the detachability were satisfied. The microstructure of the hardfacing alloy consisted of lath martensite and fine strengthening phase with dispersive distribution. The mass loss of hardfacing alloy was about one third of that of substrate, which means the hardfacing alloy has a good wear resistance property. And the main wear mechanisms are micro-cutting, micro-ploughing and the second wear of plastic deformed metals.

By using the ring-block friction and wear machine, the friction and wear behavior of nano-ZrO2 ceramic test block against GCr15 steel test ring has been studied. At the same time, friction and wear test of 45# steel block against GCr15 steel ring has also been conducted for comparison. By using self-made test machine for the wear ability of the hip joint, the friction test of nano-ZrO2 ceramic hip joint head against ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) acetabulum has been done, the friction test of Co-Cr-Mo alloy hip joint head against UHMWPE acetabulum has also been made for comparison. The results show that the friction factor of nano-ZrO2 ceramic test block against GCr15 steel test ring is less 37.3% than that of 45# steel block against GCr15 steel ring, the wear weight of nano-ZrO2 ceramic test block against GCr15 steel test ring is only 0.76% of that of 45# steel block against GCr15 steel ring. The wear weight of UHMWPE acetabulum against nano-ZrO2 ceramic hip joint head is 61.5% of UHMWPE acetabulum against Co-Cr-Mo alloy hip joint head. This indicates nano-ZrO2 ceramic has good wear resistance property and is the ideal materials for artificial Hip joint head Prostheses.

With the aid of optical microscope, transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscope, the processing and chemical composition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of low alloy wear resistance steels have been investigated. The results show that by multi-alloying design and TMCP processing the low alloy wear resistance steels has good synthetic properties. The lath martensite, multi phase microstructure composed of bainite and retained austenite film could be obtained after direct quenching. The lath martensite with retained austenite shows better wear resistance than bainite. Under the two bodies abrasive wear condition the characteristics of worn surface reveals that the main wear mechanism is micro-cutting.

In this study, a high aluminum and chromium Fe-B-C coating was prepared using laser cladding on 2Cr13 steel substrate. The microstructure, microhardness, and wear resistance of the high aluminum and chromium Fe-B-C coating were investigated. The results show that this dense coating possesses good metallurgical bond with the substrate. The microstructure is mainly composed of α-(Fe, Cr, Al) lath martensite, orthorhombic M2B boride, orthogonal M3C2, and orthorhombic M7C3 carbides. The microhardness of the coating can reach 620 HV which is 3.3-times higher than that (190 HV) of the substrate. The coating shows a lower friction coefficient of 0.75 than that of the substrate (1.08). The wear rates of the substrate and the coating are 0.295 mg/min and 0.103 mg/min, respectively, indicating the coating exhibits excellent wear resistance. The wear mechanism transforms severe adhesive wear and abrasive wear of the substrate to slight abrasive wear of the coating. The results can provide technical support to improve the properties of the Fe-based laser cladded coating.
