In order to obtain the alloy composite material with high hardness, good anti-friction property and low friction coefficient, the electrodeposition technology was used to prepare nanocrystalline Co-Ni-graphene composite coating on the surface of low carbon steel by means of ultrasonic dispersion combined with mechanical agitation. The influence of graphene content in electrolyte on composite coating was studied. The surface microstructure, composition, phase structure, micro-hardness and micro-wear properties of composite coating were measured by scanning electron microscopy, energy spectrometer, X-ray diffractometer, micro-hardness tester and UNMT-1 comprehensive mechanical testing system for micro-nanometer materials. The results show that with the increase of the content of graphene in the electrolyte the graphene particles were embedded in the alloy coating, which changes the crystal structure of the alloy coating and improves the microhardness and micro friction resistance of the coating. When the content of graphene in the electrolyte was 0.9g/L the microstructure of the composite coating was fine and uniform, the highest microhardness value was 678 HV, the minimum average friction coefficient was 0.15, and the composite coating had good wear resistance.

In order to reduce friction coefficient of the Ni-base alloy coating and further improve its wear resistance, the graphite/TiC/Ni-base alloy composite coating was prepared on the surface of 45 carbon steel by plasma spray. Effects of loads, friction counterparts and lubricants on tribological properties of the coating were investigated. The results show that friction coefficient of the composite coating is reduced by 33% than that of the Ni-base alloy coating when worn against GCr15. Wear losses of the composite coating are less than those of the Ni-base alloy coating at all loads of 6N, 8N, 10N and 12N. Worn against Si3N4, friction coefficient of the composite coating is 13% less than that worn against GCr15, but its wear loss is 2.9 times of that worn against GCr15. Wear mechanism of the composite coating is micro cutting and brittle fraction when worn against Si3N4. Under lubrication of NaCl solution, friction coefficient of the composite coating is almost the same as that under dry sliding, wear loss is increased by 1.6 times. Stress corrosion and wedging effects of the NaCl solution are main wear mechanisms of the composite coating.

In the present study, plasma spray welding was used to prepare an in-situ niobium carbide (NbC) reinforced Ni-based composite coating on the low carbon steel, and the phase composition and the microstructure of the composite coatings were studied. The wear resistance and the wear mechanism of the composite coatings were also researched by the wear tests. The results showed that the main phases of the composite coating were NbC, γ-Ni, Cr23C6, Ni3Si, CrB, Cr5B3, Cr7C3 and FeNi3. A number of fine in-situ NbC particles and numerous chromium carbide particles were distributed in the γ-Ni matrix. The increase in the mass fraction of Nb and NiCr-Cr3C2 could lead to the increase in NbC particles in the composite coatings. Due to the high hardness of NbC and chromium carbides, the micro-hardness and the wear resistance of the composite coatings were advanced. The composite coating with the powder mixtures of 20% (Nb + NiCr-Cr3C2) and 80% NiCrBSi had the highest micro-hardness and the best wear resistance in this study. The average micro-hardness reached the maximum value 1025HV0.5. The volume loss was 39.2 mm3, which was merely 37% of that of the NiCrBSi coating and 6% of that of the substrate under the identical conditions.

To improve the surface hardness and wear resistance of metal parts. Ni-based chromic carbidecomposite coating was prepared on the carbon steel (0.45 mass% C) substrates by laser cladding. Microstructure and wear properties of composite coatings were investigated by SEM, EDS, XRD, Vickers micro-hardness tester and wear machine. The results show that good metallurgical bonding between the Ni-based chromic carbidecomposite coating and carbon steel substrate. Micro-hardness of Ni-based Cr3C2 composite coating along the layer depth presents an evident stepladder distribution. The average micro-hardness of the laser clad coating is about 950 HV. The result of wear experiment shows that Ni-based Cr3C2 composite coating processes good wear resistance.

The FeCoCrNiBx high-entropy alloy (HEA) coatings with three different boron (B) contents were synthesized on Q245R steel (American grade: SA515 Gr60) by laser cladding deposition technology. Effects of B content on the microstructure and wear properties of FeCoCrNiBx HEA coating were investigated. In this study, the phase composition, microstructure, micro-hardness, and wear resistance (rolling friction) were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), a scanning electron microscope (SEM), a micro hardness tester, and a roller friction wear tester, respectively. The FeCoCrNiBx coatings exhibited a typical dendritic and interdendritic structure, and the microstructure was refined with the increase of B content. Additionally, the coatings were found to be a simple face-centered cubic (FCC) solid solution with borides. In terms of mechanical properties, the hardness and wear resistance ability of the coating can be enhanced with the increase of the B content, and the maximum hardness value of three HEA coatings reached around 1025 HV0.2, which is higher than the hardness of the substrate material. It is suggested that the present fabricated HEA coatings possess potentials in application of wear resistance structures for Q245R steel.

The nanocrystalline CO-Ni-graphene composite coating were successfully fabricated onto the mild steel substrate by electrochemical co-deposition technique. The coating was prepared by changing the amount of added graphene at the bath temperature of 50°C, PH value of 4 and current density of 2A/dm2. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD) were used to analyze the surface morphology, composition and phase structure of the coating. The prepared composite coating was then subjected to an impedance map in a 3.5% NaCl solution by a VersaSTAT3 electrochemical analyzer. The results show that the surface morphology of the coating was coarsened with the increase of graphene content in the electrolyte. The corrosion rate of the coating in the 3.5% NaCl solution first decreased and then increased, and the corrosion rate was 0.1998mA/cm2 at a content of 1.0 g/L.

Coatings with high entropy alloys of the AlCoCrFeNiV system were obtained by selective laser melting on low carbon steel substrates. The effect of the variation of the Fe and V contents as well as the laser processing parameters in the development of the coating were evaluated. The coatings were obtained from the simple powder mixtures of the high purity elemental components in a planetary ball mill. The coatings were obtained by using CO2 laser with a power of 100 W, diameter of 0.16 mm, and scan speed varying from 3 to 12 mm/s. Phase constituents, microstructure and hardness were investigated by XRD, SEM, and microhardness tester, respectively. Wear resistance measurements were carried out by the micro-abrasion method using ball-cratering tests. The coatings presented good adhesion to the substrate and high hardness, of the order of 480 to 650 HV. Most homogeneous coating with nominal composition was obtained by using the higher scan speed, 12 mm/s. Vanadium addition increased hardness and gave rise to a high entropy alloy coating composed by BCC solid solutions. Ball cratering tests conducted on HEA layer showing improvement of material wear resistance, when compared to base substrate, decreasing up to 88% its wear rate, from 1.91x10-6 mm3/Nmm to 0.23x10-6 mm3/Nmm.
