Laser surface cladding of Ti-6Al-4V alloy by Ti+C+Al powders (Titanium and carbon powders with an atomic ratio of 1:1 were mixed with 20-40wt.% aluminum powders) was investigated. TiC particles were in situ formed mainly during the solidification. Effect of Al content on the porosity and microstructure of the cladding layer was studied. The resultant microstructure in the modified surface layer was characterized and the micro-hardness on the cladding layers was measured, as well as the wear rates. The results show that the coating had good metallurgical bonding with substrate when the Al mass fraction in Al-Ti-C system is 30 %. The micro-hardness of coating is 802HV0.5 which is 2~3 times as that of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy approximately.

Laser surface cladding of Ti6Al4V alloy by Ti+Al+C powders (Titanium and carbon powders with an atomic ratio of 1:1 were mixed with 20-60wt.% aluminum powders) was investigated using CO2 laser. TiC particles were in situ formed mainly during the solidification and sizes of TiC particles were varied according to different contents of aluminum powders in the Ti+Al+C system. The results show that the coating had good metallurgical bonding with substrate when Al content was 20% or 40%. The microhardness of coating is 738HV0.5 which was 2 times as that of the Ti6Al4V alloy approximately. The wear resistance of TiC/Al ceramic layer was approximately 3 times greater than that of the Ti6Al4V substrate. 1

The Cr1-xAlxN coatings were deposited onto M2 tool steel using ion arc plating technique. The effect of current density on the surface morphology and mechanical properties of TiN/CrAlN coating was made. It was found that adjusting the pure metal target currents is not only to change the metal atomic ratio, but also to influence the surface morphology, their hardness and adhesion. The micro hardness Hv increases almost linearly with Al content of the coating in this study, and the Cr0.41Al0.59N coating reaches Hv 2950. The adhesion force between the coating and the substrate reaches maximum value 55N, when the [Al]/[Al+Cr] ratio is 0.44.

<p class="AMSmaintext1">Salt bath preoxidation was primarily conducted prior to salt bath nitriding, and the effect on salt bath nitriding was compared with that of conventional air preoxidation. Characterization of the modified surface layer was made by means of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM), micro-hardness tester and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the salt bath preoxidation could significantly enhance the nitriding efficiency. The thickness of compound layer was increased from 13.3μm to 20.8μm by salt bath preoxidation, more than 60% higher than that by conventional air preoxidation under the same salt bath nitriding parameters of 560℃ and 120min. Meanwhile, higher cross-section hardness and thicker effective hardening layer were obtained by salt bath preoxidation, and the enhancement mechanism of salt bath preoxidation was discussed.</p>

Laser cladding coating has many advantages in surface modification, such as a small heat-affected zone, and good metallurgical bonding. However, some serious problems such as pores, and poor forming quality still exist in the coating. To suppress these problems, a novel process of ultrasonic vibration-assisted laser cladding process was adopted to in-situ synthesize TiC/TiB composite ceramic coating on the surface of titanium alloy. Results showed that the introduction of ultrasonic vibration effectively improved the surface topography of the coating, reduced the number of pores in the coating, refined the crystal grains of the coating, decreased the residual tensile stress in the coating, and increased the micro-hardness of the coating. The tribological properties of the coating were significantly improved by the ultrasonic vibration, the wear resistance of the coating fabricated with ultrasonic vibration at power of 400 W increased about 1.2 times compared with the coating fabricated without ultrasonic vibration, and the friction coefficient decreased by 50%.

In this study, Fe-25Mn-xAl-8Ni-C alloys (x = 10 wt.%, 11 wt.%, 12 wt.%, 13 wt.%) were prepared by a vacuum arc melting method, and the microstructure of this series of alloys and the in situ tensile deformation behavior were studied. The results showed that Fe-25Mn-xAl-8Ni-C alloys mainly contained austenite phase with a small amount of NiAl compound. With the content of Al increasing, the amount of austenite decreased while the amount of NiAl compound increased. When the Al content increased to 12 wt.%, the interface between austenite and NiAl compound and austenitic internal started to precipitate k-carbide phase. In situ tensile results also showed that as the content of Al increased, the alloy elongation decreased gradually, and the tensile strength first increased and then decreased. When the Al content was up to 11 wt.%, the elongation and tensile strength were 2.6% and 702.5 MPa, respectively; the results of in situ tensile dynamic observations show that during the process of stretching, austenite deformed first, and crack initiation mainly occurred at the interface between austenite and NiAl compound, and propagated along the interface, resulting in fracture of the alloy.
