At present, most Mo2FeB2-based cermets are prepared by vacuum sintering. However, vacuum sintering is only suitable for ordinary cylinder and cuboid workpieces, and it is difficult to apply to large curved surface and large size workpieces. Therefore, in order to improve the flexibility of preparing Mo2FeB2 cermet, a flux cored wire with 70% filling rate, 304 stainless steel, 60 wt% Mo powder and 40 wt% FeB powder was prepared. Mo2FeB2 cermet was prepared by an arc cladding welding metallurgy method with flux cored wire. In this paper, the microstructure, phase evolution, hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of Mo2FeB2 cermets prepared by the vacuum sintering (VM-Mo2FeB2) and arc cladding welding metallurgy method (WM-Mo2FeB2) were systematically studied. The results show that VM-Mo2FeB2 is composed of Mo2FeB2 and γ-CrFeNi.WM-Mo2FeB2 is composed of Mo2FeB2, NiCrFe, MoCrFe and Cr2B3. The volume fraction of hard phase in WM-Mo2FeB2 is lower than that of VM-Mo2FeB2, and its hardness and corrosion resistance are also slightly lower than that of VM-Mo2FeB2, but there are obvious pores in the microstructure of VM-Mo2FeB2, which affects its properties. The results show that WM-Mo2FeB2 has good diffusion and metallurgical bonding with the matrix and has no obvious pores. The microstructure is compact and the wear resistance is better than that of VM-Mo2FeB2.

Abstract WC-Co-Cr powders with different WC particle size have been sprayed by the HVOF process. At constant spraying conditions the powders give coatings of different quality. The deposition efficiency during spraying of powders containing large WC particles was found to be low compared to powders with finer WC grains. In addition the amounts of porosity and cracks were different. The coatings have been characterised by different methods. Erosion and erosion-corrosion tests showed that the WC particle size also influence the wear resistance of the coatings. Small WC particle size was found to be beneficial. Chemical composition of the matrix was also found to be decisive for the coating properties. An increase of the chromium content improved the erosion-corrosion resistance.

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.

The wire was made by Tungsten Carbide(WC) particles as core. MIG welding was used to surface iron-based WC wearable composite coating of different size and content of WC particles on mild steel. Microstructure was investigated. Surface rigidity and wear resistance were tested. The results indicate that the small particles are dissolved seriously, which separate out with reticulation. The hardness and wear resistance of the matrix are relative higher. The big particles are dissolved less, tree crystal separates out along particles. The particles are easy to fall off when wearing. So the hardness and wear resistance of the substrate are relative lower. The admixture with 80% big particles and 20% small particles has the best wear resistance, its wear resistance can achieve quintupling of quenching 45 steel. The hardness and wear resistance increase with content of WC increasing.

AbstractTo understand the effect of abrasives on increasing friction in Cu-based metallic pads under different braking speeds, pad materials with two typical abrasives, titanium carbide (TiC) and alumina (Al2O3), were produced and tested using a scale dynamometer under various initial braking speeds (IBS). The results showed that at IBS lower than 250 km/h, both TiC and Al2O3 particles acted as hard points and exhibited similar friction-increasing behavior, where the increase in friction was not only enhanced as IBS increased, but also enhanced by increasing the volume fraction of the abrasives. However, at higher IBS, the friction increase was limited by the bonding behavior between the matrix and abrasives. Under these conditions, the composite containing TiC showed a better friction-increasing effect and wear resistance than the composite containing Al2O3 because of its superior particle-matrix bonding and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) compatibility. Because of the poor interface bonding between the matrix and Al2O3, a transition phenomenon exists in the Al2O3-reinforced composite, in which the friction-increasing effect diminished when IBS exceeded a certain value.

AbstractThe volume fraction, dissolution, and segregation of WC particles in metal-matrix composites (MMCs) are critical to their wear resistance. Low carbon steel substrates were precoated with NiCrBSi coatings and processed with gas tungsten arc melt injection method to fabricate MMCs with high volume fraction of WC particles. The microstructures and wear resistance of the composites were investigated. The results showed that the volume fraction of WC particles increased with decreasing hopper height and was as high as 44% when hopper height was 100 mm. The dissolution of WC particles was minimal. The content of the alloying elements decreased from the top to the bottom of the matrix. More WC particles dissolved in the overlapping area, where Fe3W3C carbide blocks could be found. The wear loss of the MMCs after 40 min was 6.9 mg, which is 76 times less than that of the substrate after the 4 min test.

Amorphous Ti66Nb13Cu8Ni6.8Al6.2 alloy powders with different tungsten carbide (WC) contents were synthesized by mechanical alloying. Outstanding differences in particle size, thermal stability, glass-forming ability, and phase evolution are found for the synthesized Ti-based glassy powders with different WC contents. This is attributed to the fact that the WC was partially alloyed into the glassy matrix and the matrix element Ti was also partially alloyed into the WC particles. The obtained glassy powders exhibit a wide supercooled liquid region above 64 K. Meanwhile, the main crystalline phase is the ductile β-Ti with a high volume fraction in the crystallized alloy powders. These two aspects offer the possibility of easily preparing a plasticity-enhanced bulk composite in the supercooled liquid region by powder metallurgy, which couples the nanosized WC particles with in situ precipitated ductile β-Ti phase.

Abstract In this contribution, particle sizes of TiC (13 and 93 μm) and volume fractions of ZrC (5 and 10 vol.-%) with respect to reinforcement particles were varied to investigate the effects on the microstructure, hardness, density, wear and corrosion properties of AZ91 Mg matrix alloy. Experimental results revealed that the hardness, density and sliding wear performance of AZ91 alloy were markedly improved by the addition of carbide particles. Predominant wear and corrosion mechanisms were identified considering the size and volume fraction of the carbides. The composite sample comprising fine TiC particles (13 μm) exhibited the highest wear resistance at the same volume fraction as the coarse particles. Moreover, coarse ZrC particles with a low volume fraction (5 vol.-%) provided an enhanced wear resistance beyond that of the 10 vol.-% ZrC particles. Considering all the investigated composites, the corrosion resistance of the composites deteriorated with the increasing volume fraction and size of the carbide particles. Electrochemical measurements of the 0,5M NaCl solution revealed that increasing carbide particle size and volume fraction leads to lower corrosion resistance due to the formation of more cathodic areas which are preferred sites for the initiation of pitting corrosion.

The pitting corrosion resistance and passive behavior of type 304 borated stainless steels (Febalance–18Cr–12Ni–1.5Mn–(0.19, 0.78, and 1.76 wt %)B) manufactured through conventional ingot metallurgy were investigated. The alloys were composed of an austenitic matrix and Cr2B phase, and the volume fraction of Cr2B increased from 1.68 to 22.66 vol % as the B content increased from 0.19 to 1.76 wt %. Potentiodynamic polarization tests measured in aqueous NaCl solutions revealed that the pitting corrosion resistance was reduced as the B content increased and the pits were initiated at the matrix adjacent to the Cr2B phase. It was found that the reduced resistance to pitting corrosion by B addition was due to the formation of more defective and thinner passive film and increased pit initiation sites in the matrix.
