As a surface coating technique, laser cladding (LC) has been developed for improving wear, corrosion, and fatigue properties of mechanical components. The main advantage of this process is the capability of introducing hard particles such as SiC, TiC, and WC as reinforcements in the metallic matrix such as Ni-based alloy, Co-based alloy, and Fe-based alloy to form ceramic-metal composite coatings, which have very high hardness and good wear resistance. In this paper, Ni-based alloy (Colmonoy 227-F) and Tungsten Carbides/Cobalt/Chromium (WC/Co/Cr) composite coatings were fabricated by the multilayer laser cladding technique (MLC). An optimization procedure was implemented to obtain the combination of process parameters that minimizes the porosity and produces good adhesion to a stainless steel substrate. The optimization procedure was worked out with a mathematical model that was supported by an experimental analysis, which studied the shape of the clad track generated by melting coaxially fed powders with a laser. Microstructural and microhardness analysis completed the set of test performed on the coatings.

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.

To improve the wear property of 00Cr13Ni4Mo hydro turbine blade stainless steel, Ni-based composite coatings were fabricated on 00Cr13Ni4Mo stainless steel by laser cladding using mixed powders of Ni60, WC and TiN. The microstructure of the coatings was characterized by XRD and SEM techniques. The wear resistance of the coatings was evaluated under dry sliding wear condition at room temperature. The results show that the coatings mainly consist of Ni-based solid solution, WC and TiN phases. The coatings exhibit excellent wear resistance due to its high hardness of WC and TiN phases. The main wear mechanisms of the coatings and the 00Cr13Ni4Mo sample are different, the former is abrasive wear and the latter is adhesive wear.

This paper reports on a preliminary investigation into the elaboration, by the additive process known as laser cladding, of composite coatings with a matrix of stainless steel 316L reinforced with varying contents of tungsten (WC) or silicon carbides (SiC) particles. Laser cladding is characterised by ultra-fast solidification and cooling rates, thus giving rise to ultra-fine out-of-equilibrium microstructures and potentially enhanced mechanical properties. Both types of composite coatings – i.e. with SiC or WC ‒ are compared in terms of their microstructures and hardness. Special attention is given to the dissolution of the carbides particles and to interfacial reactions taking place between the particles and the metallic matrix.

Mechanical And Service Properties

It was investigated the influence of technological parameters of laser cladding on the thickness of the carbide composite coatings with similar composition and properties of matrix and different types of reinforcing inclusions (spherical tungsten carbides (WC) and recycled carbides). Special attention is paid to physical-mechanical and service properties of the composites such as hardness and resistance to abrasive wear. It is established that the thickness of the carbide composite coatings increases with increasing laser power and flow rate of the carrier gas, and with decreasing speed of the laser and the step of cladding. The study showed that at the addition of 50 wt.% WC matrix has smaller hardness values 540-560 HV, which allows to obtain the structure of the carbide composite coatings without cracks. At the same time, at addition of 80 wt.% WC matrix has higher hardness 670 HV, which does not provide the structure without cracks. Resistance of composites NiCrBSiC-WC to cracking, as well as their wear resistance, increases with increasing content of tungsten carbide. The wear resistance of the coatings received from powder Technicord 655-SL, with a reinforcement by recycled carbide, comparable to that for coatings from spherical tungsten carbide Tekmat WC-125. Coatings NiCrBSiCWC, obtained by laser cladding, are used to increase the service life of the equipment telemetering systems, in particular, it is possible to prevent of abrasion and provide of increasing the service life of the contact pads of the equipment for measurement while drilling.

Different Types

WC-reinforced Ni60 composite coatings with different types of WC particles were prepared on 304 stainless steel surface by laser cladding. The influences of spherical WC, shaped WC, and flocculent WC on the microstructures and properties of composite coatings were investigated. The results showed that three types of WC particles distribute differently in the cladding coatings, with spherical WC particles stacking at the bottom, shaped WC aggregating at middle and lower parts, with flocculent WC particles dispersing homogeneously. The hardnesses, wear resistances, corrosion resistances, and thermal shock resistances of the coatings are significantly improved compared with the stainless steel substrate, regardless of the type of WC that is added, and especially with regard to the microhardness of the cladding coating; the addition of spherical or shaped WC particles can be up to 2000 HV0.05 in some areas. Flocculent WC, shaped WC, and spherical WC demonstrate large to small improvements in that order. From the results mentioned above, the addition of flocculent WC can produce a cladding coating with a uniform distribution of WC that is of higher quality compared with those from spherical WC and shaped WC.

Abstract In-situ TiN ceramic particle reinforced FeCoNiCrMnTi high entropy alloy coating was fabricated by laser cladding processing at high purity nitrogen gas atmosphere on the AISI 304 stainless steel substrate. The effect of Ti addition on the microstructure, phase structure and wear properties of the coatings were investigated. The results showed that phase structure of the coatings were mainly FCC-type γ phase. A few of cubic or flower-like TiN ceramic were formed after adding titanium into the FeCoNiCrMn powder. When atomic ratio of Ti exceeds 0.5, Laves phases appeared in the coatings. With increasing of Ti, the micro-hardness and wear resistance of the coatings increased, but friction coefficient and crack resistance of the coatings reduced. Suitable Ti content in the FeCoNiCrMnTix, laser composite coating had higher resistance to adhesive wear, oxidation wear and cracking resistance.

Composite coatings containing manganese sulphide as lubricating addition and enhanced with hard carbide particles (TiC, WC) were synthesized on a plain steel substrate using the plasma transferred arc technique. The coatings are well bonded to the substrate, have a thickness of about 1 mm, and are free of any visual defects. They consist mainly of a martensitic or ferritic matrix enhanced with titanium or tungsten carbides and a dispersion of MnS particles. The tribological properties of the composites are assessed using a pin-on-disk device. Both composites possess self lubricating properties, due to the formation of a thin layer of manganese sulphide on their wear tracks. The corresponding friction coefficients vary between 0.25 and 0.28, compared with 0.50–0.60 obtained from similar hard coatings without MnS addition. The wear rates are of the order of 10−5 mm3/m N and are two orders of magnitude lower than those obtained from the substrate material with MnS addition, but without the presence of hard enhancing particles. The wear regime is mild abrasion due to the combined action of both lubricating (MnS) and hard (TiC or WC) particles.

Friction Performance

In this paper, an elevator safety gear wedge with surface metal-ceramic composite coatings is proposed. After composite coating, the friction performance of the elevator safety gear wedge is very stable at high temperature, because of high hardness and high temperature oxidation resistance of coating material. And the friction coefficient becomes small by coating ceramic. In this research, six samples with different coating are prepared. These samples are installed in elevator safety system, and related speed parameters and stopping distance of elevator are tested. A conclusion can be drawn that sample 4 with 45# steel substrate and NiCrBSi-60 coating has a suitable friction coefficient, and the deceleration of elevator is controlled in the range of 0.2 to 1.0g when sample is installed in safety gear system.

Ni-Al intermetallic compound coatings no visible cracks, pores or inclusions are prepared on mild steel substrate by Laser- cladding in situ synthesis with mixed powders of nickel-coated aluminum, Ni-based alloy and Al. The results show that the microstructure of the coating consists mainly of two phases of NiAl and Ni3Al, and the former amount is more than the latter, with NiAl being uniformity and staggered fine dendrites which are surrounded continuously by Ni3Al, and the atom ratios of Ni∶Al∶Fe∶Si in NiAl and Ni3Al are respectively 54∶39∶2∶5 and 70∶21∶3∶6. Compared with cladding nickel-coated aluminum, the coatings quality are improved, and the dilution of iron from substrate into coating are greatly reduced, as a result of lower cladding powers due to self-fluxing of Ni-based alloy and exothermic reaction between Ni and Al. The hardness of coatings are up to HV490-HV540.
