The microstructural and wear properties of laser-cladding WC/Ni-based layer on Al–Si alloy were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and wear-testing. The results show that, compared with the original specimen, the microhardness and wear resistance of the cladding layer on an Al–Si alloy were remarkably improved, wherein the microhardness of the layer achieved 1100 HV and the average friction coefficient of the layer was barely 0.14. The mainly contributor to such significant improvement was the generation of a WC/Ni-composite layer of Al–Si alloy during laser cladding. Two types of carbides, identified as M7C3 and M23C6, were found in the layer. The wear rate of the layer first increased and then decreased with the increase in load; when the load was 20 N, 60 N and 80 N, the wear rate of layer was1.89 × 10−3 mm3·m−1, 3.73 × 10−3 mm3·m−1 and 2.63 × 10−3 mm3·m−1, respectively, and the average friction coefficient (0.14) was the smallest when the load was 60 N.

Wear behaviours of La2O3-MoSi2composite against SiC under different loads at 1000°C and 0.126m/s sliding speed in air were investigated by using an XP-5 type high temperature friction and wear tester. The worn surfaces and phase of the sample were observed by scanning election microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. Results showed that friction coefficient and wear rate of La2O3-MoSi2composite and SiC decreased with the increase of loads. The wear mechanisms of La2O3-MoSi2composite are oxidation, adhesion abrasion and fatigue pitting.

Composite coatings are fabricated by laser cladding of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V with graphite and silicon mixed powders. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) indicate that the coatings mainly consist of pre-eutectic TiC and eutectic Ti 5 Si 3 compounds. Test results show that the coatings exhibit a higher microhardness and a lower friction coefficient compared with the as-received sample. EPMA micrographs show that the compounds' morphology in the top zone of the coatings is different from that in the transitional zone.

The self-lubricant wear-resistant NiCr/Cr3C2-10%WS2 coating and wear-resistant NiCr/Cr3C2 coating were obtained on Ti6Al4V by laser cladding. Microstructure of the coatings was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). The wear properties were evaluated using a ball-on-disc wear tester under dry sliding condition. The results show that the laser cladding NiCr/Cr3C2-10%WS2 composite coating has good friction-reducing and anti-wear capabilities at ambient.

Diamond-like carbon film (DLC) with an interlayer of plasma sprayed tungsten-carbide (WC) was prepared on an aluminum alloy substrate (A5052) by a hybrid process of plasma-based ion implantation and deposition using hydrocarbon gas. Typical thicknesses of DLC and WC films were 1 μm and 100 μm, respectively. The hardness and friction coefficient of DLC were typically 15 GPa and 0.15, respectively. The durability of DLC/WC/A5052 system was evaluated from the measurement of the friction coefficient by a ball-on-disk friction tester in which the loaded ball was drawn repeatedly across a sample and the load was increased with each traverse. For the DLC/A5052 system, which has no WC interlayer, the DLC film was broken quickly because of distortion of the substrate. For the DLC/WC/A5052 system, on the other hand, the DLC film was excellent in durability for long running. The wear rate of rubber rotor to the metal rotor was measured by a roller-pitching-type wear testing machine, showing large reduction in wear rate using DLC-coated metal rotor.

Vanadium-Chromium composite layer is formed on the surface of cast steel by the method of V-EPC cast penetration. The dry sliding friction wear properties of composite layer are studied on MM200 friction wear testing machine in this paper. The wear surface feature of samples is also observed by SEM and the wear mechanism of samples is analyzed. The result has shown that comparing with the matrix, the wear resistance of composite layer is advanced evidently. The wear rate of composite layer is only eighth to matrix. With the increase of load and the decrease of Vanadium iron in penetrating regent, the wear rate of composite layer increase. The mechanism of composite layer is mainly oxidation and fatigue flake produced by the initiation and expansion of crack.

The effect of different amounts (0 wt%, 0.02 wt%, 0.04 wt%, 0.06 wt%) of Sr modification on the microstructure of AlSi5Cu1Mg alloy was investigated. The wear resistances of the alloys were tested using an MMD-1 pin-on-disk wear-testing apparatus. Worn surfaces were examined using a scanning electron microscopy equipped with an energy-dispersive spectrometer. The relationship between the microstructure and wear properties of the alloy was discussed. The results show that the addition of Sr caused the grain refinement and AlSi5Cu1Mg with 0.04 wt% Sr has short rod-like Fe-rich intermetallic, minimal size of α-Al phase and secondary dendrite arm spacing, and granular or fibrous eutectic Si phase distributed uniformly at grain boundaries. Compared to the matrix alloy, the tensile strength, Brinell hardness, and elongation of the AlSi5Cu1Mg with 0.04 wt% Sr increased by 15%, 48%, and 73%, respectively. Both the lowest friction coefficient and the best wear resistance were achieved by the AlSi5Cu1Mg with 0.04 wt% Sr. Compared to the matrix alloy, the wear mass loss and friction coefficient of the AlSi5Cu1Mg with 0.04 wt% Sr increased by 42% and 18%, respectively. The adhesive wear and abrasive wear are the main wear mechanisms.

Laser cladding was applied to deposit in situ Fe - Ti - B composite coatings on mild carbon steel with precursor of ferrotitanium, ferroboron and pure Fe alloy powders. The composite coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). Wear resistance of the laser-cladded Fe - Ti - B coatings was evaluated under dry sliding condition at room temperature using block-on-ring wear tester. Results indicate that in situ reinforcements of TiB 2 and Fe 2 B can be synthesized in the Fe - Ti - B coatings. The amount of TiB 2 increases with the increase of content of ferrotitanium and ferroboron in the precursor. Reinforcements are formed through the liquid-precipitation route following the solidification path of the Fe - Ti - B system. Hardness and wear properties of the coatings improved significantly in comparison to the as-received substrate due to the presence of hard reinforcements.

Microarc oxidation(MAO) was used to prepare the coatings on the surface of Al-Si alloy. Besides, scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were utilized to research the microstructure characteristics, the components distribution, and the phase compositions, for the microarc oxidation coatings on Al-Si alloys. Furthermore, the growth process and wear properties of the coatings were explored. Results indicated that:the phase compositions of microarc oxidized coating consisted of mullite (3Al2O3·2SiO2), α- Al2O3 and γ- Al2O3. With the increase of load, the friction coefficient of the coating decreased, however it was greater than that of Al-Si alloy substrate. The wear resistance of the coating were one time higher than that of the substrate.

The friction and wear properties of Cu-Te-Li alloys under dry sliding condition were studied by M-200 wear testing machine. The morphology and chemical composition of worn surfaces were analyzed by SEM and EDS, thus the effect of aging treatment on friction coefficient, wear rate and wear mechanism was discussed. The results showed that Te element could improve the wear resistance of copper alloys. With Te content increasing, the friction coefficient of Cu-Te-Li alloys declined slightly and tended to be stable as a whole, while the wear rate decreased obviously. During the process of dry sliding friction, adhesive wear was the dominant mechanism, with oxidative wear coexisting. But for the Cu-Te-Li alloys after aging treatment, abrasive wear appeared and adhesive wear was intensified, especially at higher friction velocity.

For the disadvantages of Co element, such as rarity, high price and nuclear pollution, the Co-based materials will be eliminated in the valves which are used in the third and fourth-generation nuclear plants. In this paper, the composition of a Co-free Ni-based alloy was designed. With laser cladding technology, the Ni-based coatings were obtained. Microstructure of the coatings was characterized by optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The phases in the surface layer were identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS). And the wear resistance of the coatings were tested and compared with Co-based alloy. The results showed that the coatings were mainly made of dendrite phases and interdendritic constituents. The dendrites were characterized of primary dendrites M7C3 and M23(CB)6 and some Ni3Al round particles uniformly dispersed in the γ-Ni matrix. There were a bit of Ni3B and Ni3Si phases in the coatings. The wear volume loss of Ni-based alloy was close to of Co-based alloy.
