The Fe-based composite coatings were formed by plasma jet surface metallurgy using Fe, C, W, Cr and Al alloy powders on the low carbon steel. The morphology, microstructure, interface structure and the distribution of the in situ particles in the coatings were observed with optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and x-ray diffraction analysis. The results show that metallurgical bonding is obtained between coating and substrate, and the microstructure of coatings is mainly composed of γ-Fe, (Fe,Cr,W,Nb)7C3 and AlFe particles which are synthesized in stiu, are dispersivly distributed in the coatings. The micro-hardness gradually increased from bottom to the top of the coating, the maximum is 986 Hv0.1, about 4 times larger than that of the steel substrate.

By plasma jet surface metallurgy, the thick composite coatings reinforced by in-situ TiC were produced on low carbon steel. Composition, microstructures and performance were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro-hardness tester and wear tester. The results showed that the excellent bonding between the coating and the carbon steel substrate was achieved by strong metallurgical interface. The microstructure of the coating is mainly composed of γ-(Fe, Ni) dendrite, M23C6, CrB and in-situ synthesized TiC ceramic particle. Because of the particulate reinforcement, the dispersion strengthening, refinement strengthening, micro-hardness and wear resistant of Fe-based coating can be enhanced.

The Fe-based composite coatings with RE oxides were prepared on low-carbon steel substrate by use of the plasma jet surface metallurgy, and the effect of RE on microstructure of coating was investigated. The result shows that the microstructure and properties with a proper amount of RE oxides are better than these of the coatings without RE oxides. In addition, the modifying effect of RE oxide on inclusions in metallurgical coating was studied by means of thermodynamics. The thermodynamics analysis shows that RE oxide (Ce2O3) can be reduced to RE by carbon, then the RE element can react with oxygen and sulfur to form the RE oxide-sulfide in metallurgical pool. As a result, the coating is purified and the solidification crack of coating can be restrained by deoxidization and desulphurization.

The Electrodeposition process has been used to prepare Nickel-Tungsten alloys on low carbon steel substrate by using ammonical citrate bath. The influence of deposition condition by variation of current density (0.04-0.2 A/cm2) and solution temperature (60-70 °C), on the microstructure was studied. The optical microscope and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to study the morphology of the deposit while the energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) was used to approximate the composition, in addition to X-Ray diffraction examination. The results show that the current efficiency has the major influence on the tungsten content in the alloys due to the formation of ternary complex which reflected into the properties of the deposit.

Co-deposition process of amorphous nickel and PTFE particles in the presence of Ni (OH)2carrier suspended in the bath by magnetic stirring, was investigated. Composite Ni-P+Ni (OH)2+PTFE coatings and comparative Ni-P deposits, were electrodeposited on low carbon steel substrate under galvanostatic conditions at room temperature. The physical and chemical characterization of the coatings was carried out using X-Ray diffraction analysis and microanalysis, stereometric quantitative microscopy and atomic absorption spectroscopy. The optimum production conditions of the composite coatings based on the Ni-P matrix into which PTFE and Ni (OH)2components can be embedded uniformly, were found.

Hot-rolled low carbon steel strips were produced using two different finishing temperatures at 910 and 820 °C in an industrial hot-rolling line. Mechanical adhesion of scale on the steel substrate at 40 mm from the edge was investigated by tensile test. It was found that the strain initiating the first spallation of scale produced at higher finishing temperature was lower. Spallation ratio which is a spalled area of scale divided by the total area of scale examined under an optical microscope was steeper when the scale was produced at higher finishing temperature. The lower values of strain initiating the first spallation and the higher values of spallation ratio of scale formed both at higher finishing temperature were due to higher thickness of that scale. Pickling behaviour of the hot-rolled steels was investigated by immersing the studied steels in a 10%v/v HCl solution at 80 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) peak of hematite relative to that of iron decreased with pickling time and approached zero during pickling periods from 3 to 10 s, while magnetite-and-iron ratio gradually decreased and tended to be zero at longer pickling time. This might indicate the existence of hematite as the outermost layer of scale and subscale containing magnetite as the inner part.

To increase the strength and wear resistance of material surfaces, various combinations of B4C and 80TiFe powder were mixed into a Fe60 self-fluxing alloy powder; the composite coatings reinforced by TiB2–TiC were successfully prepared on Q235 steel surfaces by laser cladding. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to study the microstructure and chemical and phase composition. Microhardness and wear testers were used to investigate the mechanical properties. The results show that the interfaces of composite coatings and substrate materials are excellent for metallurgical bonding. The block-like TiB2 particles and flower-like TiC particles are uniformly distributed in the cladding coating. When the mass fraction of the mixed powder is 30%, the average microhardness of the coating is approximately 1100 HV[Formula: see text], which is 50% higher than that without the mixed powder, and demonstrates the best wear with a performance twice as better as that of the substrate.

The Fe-based amorphous composite coatings were prepared by pulse laser cladding method. The amorphous powder with the size ranging from 100 to 200 meshes was cladded on the low carbon steel plate,and the nominal composition of the powder was (wt.%) Cr:14.95, Mo:25.7, B:1.24, C:3.45, Y:3.40, Fe:51.29. The microstructure, phase composition and hardness were characterized by XRD, SEM, DSC and semi-automatic Vickers hardness tester in this study, respectively. The results show that the coating which is composed of amorphous and nanocrystal phases has the dense structure and metallurgical bonding with the substrate. The hardness of coatings was about 5 times higher than that of the substrate. With the increase of cladding layer, the average hardness of coating showed an increasing trend, and the intrinsic mechanism was discussed.

In this article a 1.8kW continuous wave of high power CO2 laser was used to clad of a titular composition of Ni – 10 wt% Al powder on cold rolled 0.2% carbon steel substrate. The feed rate was kept constant after many preliminary claddings at approximately 11 g/min.  In order to produce clads with different specific energies and interaction times, different traverse speeds were used in the range of 1.5 to 12.5 mm/s. The microstructure of substrate was changed at the heat affected zones under the variety of specific energies. The cladded coatings showed the presence of ɣ solid solution and β (NiAlFe) phases. A strong metallurgical bonding produced between the substrate and the clad coat at fluence higher than 48 J/mm2. The changing in microstructure were observed using both microscope and SEM. The microhardness was evaluated using Vickerʼs microhardness test. The microstructure of the substrate was ferrite and pearlite transformed to martensite at the region adjacent to the clad interface. It followed by a three regions can be classified, a grain growth zone (large grains of austenite/ferrite and pearlite), recrystallization zone (fine grains of austenite/ferrite and pearlite) and recovery zone (the structure has a little changes from the structure of low carbon steel). The microhardness testing result showed higher values for the clad regions compared with substrate. This study emphasize the possibility to develop a temporary new graded material.

Cored wires and arc spraying were used to produce high Mg content Zn-Al-Mg alloy coatings on low carbon steel substrates. And the corrosion mechanism of the Zn-Al-Mg coatings was investigated comparing with Zn-Al alloy coatings by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that, The Zn-Al-Mg coatings show higher electrochemical corrosion resistance in salt solution than Zn-Al coatings. With addition of Mg, the corrosion products can block off the pores in the Zn-Al-Mg coating, which is so-called self sealing, and thus prevent attack on the underlying steel substrate.
