Complex approach to studying both qualitative and quantitative friction and wear characteristics of laser-clad layers has been applied. Both type and value of wear, friction factors have been determined as depended of the coating composition, load and temperature in dry friction. Comparative analysis between laser cladding and plasma spraying has been carried out.

Abstract laser cladding of snsbcu based alloy coating on GCr15 steel substrate was carried out by using lam-400s powder feeding metal printer. The hardness, friction coefficient and microstructure of the coating were tested by Vickers hardness tester, friction and wear tester, metallographic microscope and scanning electron microscope. The effects of laser cladding parameters on the dilution ratio, hardness and friction coefficient of the sample were studied; With the increase of laser power, the hardness of the coating is improved, and the hardness distribution is more uniform; The friction coefficient of the coated sample decreases greatly compared with that of the substrate.

In the present study, the microstructure evolution of WC-10Co-4Cr powder deposited on AISI-SAE 1020 steel substrate by laser cladding was evaluated, considering the effect of average energy per unit area. Single tracks were obtained by employing a Yb: YAG laser system with selected processing parameters. All samples were sectioned in the transverse direction for further characterization of the cladding. Results showed that dilution lay within 15% and 25%, whereas porosity was measured below 12%. According to microstructural analyses, considerable grain growth is developed within the central area of the cladding (namely, the inner region); additionally, the development of a triangular and/or polygonal morphology for WC particles along with a clear reduction in hardness was observed when employing a high average energy. It is worth noting that, in spite of the rapid thermal cycles developed during laser cladding of WC-10Co-4Cr, grain growth is attributed to a coalescence mechanism due to complete merging of WC into larger particles. Finally, the presence of small round or ellipsoidal particles within the inner region of the cladding suggested that non-merged particles occurred due to both an inhomogeneous dispersion and the lack of faced-shaped WC particles.

The present study describes the synthesis of electroless Ni-P (nickel-phosphorous) coatings on mild steel substrate and optimization of the coating process parameters for minimum friction and wear in acidic (1M H2SO4) solution using Taguchi based grey relation analysis. The study is carried out using different combinations of four coating process parameters, namely, concentration of nickel source, concentration of reducing agent, deposition temperature and annealing temperature with three levels each. The tribological tests are conducted with a pin-on-disk tribometer. Analysis of variance reveals that annealing temperature has the maximum contribution in controlling the friction and wear characteristics of Ni-P coating. The coating is characterized using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray and XRD analysis, respectively. It is found that Ni-P coating is amorphous in as-deposited condition but gradually turns crystalline with heat treatment. Moreover the wear mechanism is found to be abrasive in nature.

NiCr/Cr3C2-WS2-CaF2 mixed powders were prepared on 1Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel substrate to fabricate high-temperature self-lubrication wear resistant composite coating by laser cladding. The microstructure of the coating was examined by means of XRD, SEM and EDS. The high-temperature dry sliding friction and wear behavior of the composite coating were evaluated by using a ball-on-block wear tester at room temperature, 300 and 600 , respectively. The results showed that the composite coating had a unique microstructure consisting of γ-(Ni,Fe) solid solution matrix, Cr7C3/WC reinforcement and CrS/WS2 lubricant particles. The hardness of NiCr/Cr3C2-WS2-CaF2 coating by laser cladding was lower than NiCr/Cr3C2 coating, but higher than stainless steel substrate significantly. It was because of the addition of solid lubricant. In the wear process, elevated temperature was helpful to form a lubricating transfer film. As a result, the NiCr/Cr3C2-WS2-CaF2 coating exhibited a notable anti-friction and wear resistance at 300 and 600 .

The vast majority of tissue production uses creping to achieve the required set of properties on the base sheet. The Yankee coating helps to develop the desired crepe that in turn determines properties such as bulk and softness. The adhesion of the sheet to the Yankee surface is a very important characteristic to consider in achieving the desired crepe. The coating mix usually consists of the adhesive, modifier, and release. A good combination of these components is essential to achieving the desired properties of the tissue or towel, which often are determined by trials on the machine that can be time consuming and lead to costly rejects. In this paper, five compositions of an industrial Yankee coating adhesive, modifier, and release were examined rheologically. The weight ratio of the adhesive was kept constant at 30% in all five compositions and the modifier and release ratios were varied. The normal force and work done by the different compositions have been shown at various temperatures simulating that of the Yankee surface, and the oscillatory test was carried out to explain the linear and nonlinear viscoelastic characteristic of the optimal coating composition.

The article presents research in the field of laser cladding of metal-matrix composite (MMC) coatings. Nickel-based superalloys show attractive properties including high tensile strength, fatigue resistance, high-temperature corrosion resistance and toughness, which makes them widely used in the industry. Due to the insufficient wear resistance of nickel-based superalloys, many scientists are investigating the possibility of producing nickel-based superalloys matrix composites. For this study, the powder mixtures of Inconel 625 superalloy with 10, 20 and 40 vol.% of TiC particles were used to produce MMC coatings by laser cladding. The titanium carbides were chosen as reinforcing material due to high thermal stability and hardness. The multi-run coatings were tested using penetrant testing, macroscopic and microscopic observations, microhardness measurements and solid particle erosive test according to ASTM G76-04 standard. The TiC particles partially dissolved in the structure during the laser cladding process, which resulted in titanium and carbon enrichment of the matrix and the occurrence of precipitates formation in the structure. The process parameters and coatings chemical composition variation had an influence on coatings average hardness and erosion rates.
