In this study, laser cladding technology was used to prepare Fe-based alloy coating on a 27SiMn hydraulic support, and a turning treatment was used to obtain samples of the upper and middle regions of the cladding layer. The influence of microstructure, phase composition, hardness, and wear resistance in different areas of the cladding layer was studied through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), friction and wear tests, and microhardness. The results show that the bcc phase content in the upper region of the cladding layer is less than that in the middle region of the cladding layer, and the upper region of the cladding layer contains more metal compounds. The hardness of the middle region of the cladding layer is higher than that of the upper region of the cladding layer. At the same time, the main wear mechanism of the upper region of the cladding layer is adhesive wear and abrasive wear. The wear mechanism of the middle region of the cladding layer is mainly abrasive wear, with better wear resistance than the upper region of the cladding layer.

Purpose This paper aims to improve the friction reduction and wear resistance of Fe90 alloy coating by the addition of Al2O3. Design/methodology/approach Fe90 alloy coatings with the different Al2O3 mass fractions were prepared on Q235 steel by laser cladding (LC). The morphologies, phases and hardness of Fe90 alloy coating were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and microhardness tester, respectively. The effects of Al2O3 mass fraction on the coefficient of friction (COF) and wear rates of Fe90 alloy coating were investigated using a friction tester, and the wear model was built to discuss the wear mechanism of Al2O3-reinforced Fe90 alloy coating. Findings The results show that the large number of Fe carbides is generated on the Fe90–Al2O3 coatings by the effect of laser high energy, and the hardness of Fe90–coating is 806 HV0.5, which is 4.48 times of substrate. The average COFs of Fe90–Al2O3 alloy coatings decrease from 0.73 to 0.55, and the wear rates are also reduced from 447.78 to 274.63 µm3•s–1•N–1 by the addition of Al2O3. The Fe90–6% Al2O3 coating presents the highest wear resistance among the three kinds of coatings, and the wear mechanism is abrasive wear and micro-cutting wear. Originality/value The Al2O3-reinforced Fe90 alloy coating was first fabricated by laser cladding, and the effect of Al2O3 on the friction-wear performance of Fe90 alloy coating was investigated.

Setellite21 cobalt-based alloy coating was deposited on 45 steel by electro-spark deposition. Microstructure and phase composition of the coating were analyzed. Wear resistance and wear mechanism of the coating were researched. The results indicate that the coating with compact structure is mainly composed of Co, Co6W6C, CoCx and CoCr. Average microhardness of the coating is 445.34 HV0.5, which is about 2 times to that of the substrate. The coating presents excellent wear resistance with no obvious peelings and scratches. Wear resistance of the coating is about 2.3~2.7 times to that of the substrate. Wear mechanism of the coating mainly contains abrasive wear and fatigue wear, and along with oxidization wear.

In order to improve the wear resistance of 27SiMn steel substrate, Fe−based alloy coatings were prepared by laser cladding technology in the present study. In comparison to the conventional gravity powder feeding (GF) process, high−speed powder feeding (HF) process was used to prepare Fe−based alloy coating on 27SiMn steel substrate. The effect of diversified energy composition of powder materials on the microstructure and properties of coatings were systematically studied. X−ray diffractometer (XRD), optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to analyze the phase structure and microstructure of Fe−based alloy coatings, and the hardness and tribological properties were measured by the microhardness tester and ball on disc wear tester, respectively. The results show that the microstructure of conventional gravity feeding (GF) coatings was composed of coarse columnar crystals. In comparison, owing to the diversification of energy composition, the microstructure of the high−speed powder feeding (HF) coatings consists of uniform and small grains. The total energy of the HF process was 75.5% of that of the GF process, proving that high−efficiency cladding can be achieved at lower laser energy. The refinement of the microstructure is beneficial to improve the hardness and wear resistance of the coating, and the hardness of the HF coating increased by 9.4% and the wear loss decreased to 80.5%, compared with the GF coating. The wear surface of the HF coating suffered less damage, and the wear mechanism was slightly adhesive wear. In contrast, wear was more serious in the GF coating, and the wear mechanism was transformed into severe adhesive wear.

Laser modification techniques have been widely adopted in the field of surface engineering. Among these modified techniques, ultra-high-speed laser cladding is trending most nowadays to fabricate wear-resistant surfaces. The main purpose of this research is to provide a detailed insight of ultra-high-speed laser cladding of hard Ni60 alloy on LA43M magnesium alloy to enhance its surface mechanical properties. Multiple processing parameters were investigated to obtain the optimal result. The synthesized coating was studied microstructurally by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The microhardness and wear resistance of the Ni60 coating were analyzed under Vickers hardness and pin on disc tribometer respectively. The obtained results show that the dense Ni60 coating was fabricated with a thickness of 300 μm. No cracks and porosities were detected in cross-sectional morphology. The Ni60 coating was mainly composed of γ-Ni and hard phases (chromium carbides and borides). The average microhardness of coating was recorded as 948 HV0.3, which is approximately eight times higher than that of the substrate. Meanwhile, the Ni60 coating exhibited better wear resistance than the substrate, which was validated upon the wear loss and wear mechanism. The wear loss recorded for the substrate was 6.5 times higher than that of the coating. The main wear mechanism in the Ni60 coating was adhesive while the substrate showed abrasive characteristics.

For the purpose of expanding the application scope of HEA coating manufactured on the surface modification of materials, in this work, the Al1.5CrFeNiTi0.5 and Al1.5CrFeNiTi0.5W0.5 HEA coatings were successfully manufactured using laser cladding method on SUS304. The microstructures and wear resistance of coatings are researched systematically. It is found that the W0 and W0.5 HEA coatings all exhibit the dendritic structure, which are constituted by BCC phases and Laves phases. With W element addition, the phase structures of W0.5 coating remain unchanged. W is dissolved in both two phases, but the solid solubility in Laves phase is higher compared to that in BCC phase. W0.5 coating with the highest microhardness of 848.34 HV, and the W0 coating with the microhardness of 811.45 HV, both of whose microhardness are four times more than that of SUS304 substrate. Among all samples, the W0.5 coating shows the optimal wear performance because of its larger content of hard second phase ( Laves phase).

Laser cladding of Ni-based alloy on Mg-alloy was achieved by using brass as transition layer on substrate. The Ni-based alloy layer free of cracks and porosities was bonded metallurgically with the Mg substrate using brass as the transitional layer. The Ni-based cladding layer was mainly composed of Cr2Ni3, FeNi3, AlNi3 while the content of Mg, Al, Cu and Zn is very low in the cladding layer. Microhardness and the wear resistance of the sample were tested, whose results indicated that microhardness and wear resistance increased 12.8 times and 13.3 times, respectively compared with the substrate. In addition, the corrosion potential (Ecorr) of the sample was much higher than that of untreated materials.
