The amorphous phase (AP) and nanocrystalline particle (NP)-reinforced composite coating was fabricated by laser cladding (LC) of the Ni45-WC mixed powders on the 304 stainless steel. An LC technique favored APs as well as NPs to be formed due to their rapid cooling and solidification characteristics, so the wear resistance of the Ni-base coating was improved. Microstructures and wear resistance of the fabricated composite coating were studied extensively. The test results showed that the microhardness and wear resistance of this LC coating were enhanced under the actions of NPs, APs and the ceramics. The study of the laser synthesis of NPs provided a theoretical basis for improving the LC technique.

Ni-Co-W composite coatings modified by different contents of Co-based alloy powder in the Ni-based alloy with 35 wt.% WC (Ni35WC) were deposited on stainless steel by laser cladding. The influence of compositional and microstructural modification on the wear properties has been comparatively investigated by XRD, SEM, and EDS techniques. It was found that the austenite dendrites in the modified coating adding 50 wt.% Co-based alloy were refined and a lot of Cr23C6 or M23(C, B)6 compounds with fine lamellar feature were formed around austenitic grain boundaries or in the intergranular regions. The contribution of element Co to the modification of Ni35WC coating is that it cannot only promote the formation of more hard compounds to refine austenite grains, but also refine the size of precipitates, and change the phase type of eutectic structure as a result of disappeared Cr boride brittle phases. A noticeable improvement in wear resistance is obtained in the Ni35WC coating with 50 wt.% Co-based alloy, which makes the wear rate decreased by about 53 % and 30% by comparison to that of the substrate and the Ni35WC coating, respectively. It is suggested that the improvement is closely related to the composite coating being strengthened owing to the increase of coating hardness, formation of a fine-grained microstructure caused by Co, and fine hard precipitate phases in the eutectic structure.

AISI 304 stainless steel powder and Al2O3 powder was used to produce laser cladding composite coatings in order to improve the surface wear resistance of 45 steel. Microstructure of the composite coating was examined and analyzed by metallographic microscope. Microhardness and wear resistance of the composite under different scanning velocities were evaluated. The results show that the composite coating is composed of planar crystal, cellular crystal, dendritic crystal and fine equiaxed; the composite coatings under different technological parameters are made of the same phases, ferrite (α) and austenite (γ) phases. Microhardness of the composite is enhanced along with the increase of scanning velocity; effect of scanning velocity on wear loss of the composite coatings is not significant.

In this study, salt bath nitriding was carried out at 565℃ for various times for 304 stainless steel (304SS). The effect of salt bath nitriding time on the microstructure, micro-hardness and wear resistance was investigated systematically. The results showed a nitriding layer was formed during salt bath nitriding, and the thickness of effective hardening layer is duration dependant. The maximum microhardness value of 1200HV0.01 was obtained at optimal duration of 150min, which was five times higher than that of the untreated sample. And the wear resistance could be significantly improved by salt bath nitriding, the lowest weight loss after wear resistance was obtained while nitriding for 150min, which was one tenth of that of untreated sample.

The colored films were successfully prepared on the 304 stainless steel surfaces in coloring solutions with different NiSO4 contents. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of NiSO4 in the coloring solution on the coloring performance of 304 stainless steel and corrosion resistance of the obtained colored film in NaCl solution. The coloring rate was determined from coloring potential-time curve, and the protection properties of the color films in a 3.5% NaCl solution were characterized by potentiodynamic polarization scan, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and wear resistance test. The results showed that adding NiSO4 could accelerate the coloring process but brought about a negative impact on the surface’s corrosion resistance.

Electroless nickels have been used in practical applications as versatile materials for anti-wear. The wear resistance is well-improved as a composite coating by incorporating particles. Composite platting offers various mechanical and electoronic functions, depending on the combination of a material matrix and particles deposited. Among them Ni-P plating reinforced with SiC particles have been growing in importance owing to its high hardness and better anti-wear properties. In this study, a Ni-P-SiC/Ni-P-SiC system was evaluated using a ball-on-plate type reciprocating tester, and the results were compared with that of SiC/SiC system at room temperature. As the results, the Ni-P-SiC/Ni-P-SiC system with the surfaces where SiC particles were appeared in clumps had the low frictional coefficient around 0.1 even in water.
