The cluster line criterion was used for optimized design of a Cu-Zr-Al alloy used as coating on the AZ91HP magnesium alloy by laser cladding. Results show that the coating mainly consists of an amorphous, Cu8Zr3, and Cu10Zr7 phases, of which the relative content of amorphous phase is estimated to be 61 %. The formation of the amorphous and intermetallics composite structure results in high hardness, good wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The interface between the clad layer and the substrate has good metallurgical bond.

In order to improve the wear and corrosion resistance of an AZ91D magnesium alloy substrate, an Al0.5CoCrCuFeNi high-entropy alloy coating was successfully prepared on an AZ91D magnesium alloy surface by laser cladding using mixed elemental powders. Optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction were used to characterize the microstructure of the coating. The wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the coating were evaluated by dry sliding wear and potentiodynamic polarization curve test methods, respectively. The results show that the coating was composed of a simple FCC solid solution phase with a microhardness about 3.7 times higher than that of the AZ91D matrix and even higher than that of the same high-entropy alloy prepared by an arc melting method. The coating had better wear resistance than the AZ91D matrix, and the wear rate was about 2.5 times lower than that of the AZ91D matrix. Moreover, the main wear mechanisms of the coating and the AZ91D matrix were different. The former was abrasive wear and the latter was adhesive wear. The corrosion resistance of the coating was also better than that of the AZ91D matrix because the corrosion potential of the former was more positive and the corrosion current was smaller.

Laser cladding, as a newly developed rapid solidification technique, is to cover a particular part of the substrate with another material that has superior properties, producing a metallurgical bond between the two materials with minimal dilution of the clad layer by the substrate. In this paper, the research progress in laser clad nickel based alloys is reviewed. The microstructures and wear resistance of the coatings are introduced, the main problems and some solutions of the laser cladding are analysized, and the development tendency and application prospect of laser cladding is also pointed out.

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.

In order to improve a wear resistance of aluminium alloy, we proposed a diode laser cladding on the surface of a A5052 aluminium alloy. Firstly, an applicability of diode laser to laser cladding was evaluated. In this result, application of diode laser made it possible to obtain stable beads in low heat input compared with CO2 laser. According to the increase in aluminium content in the obtained clad layer, the microstructure of the clad layer changed as γ (8∼20%) → γ + α (10∼30%) → Fe3Al (30%∼). At the interface between the clad layer and the aluminium alloy substrate, the reaction layer consisting of Fe2Al5 and FeAl3 formed. In the abrasion wear the obtained clad layers exhibited a higher wear resistance compared with the aluminium alloy.

In order to improve wear resistance of carbon steel, laser cladding experiments were carried out using a 3kW continuous wave CO2 laser. The diameter of the laser beam was 3-5mm, the scanning velocity was 3-10mm/s, and the laser output power was 1.0-1.3kW. The experimental results showed that MoSi2/SiCP composites coating could be in-situ synthesized from mixture powders of molybdenum, silicon and SiC by laser cladding. A good metallurgical bond between the coating and the substrate could be achieved. The microstructures of the coating were mainly composed of MoSi2, SiC and FeSiMo phases. The average microhardness of the coating was about HV0.21300, about 6.0 times larger than that of steel substrate.

Laser modification techniques have been widely adopted in the field of surface engineering. Among these modified techniques, ultra-high-speed laser cladding is trending most nowadays to fabricate wear-resistant surfaces. The main purpose of this research is to provide a detailed insight of ultra-high-speed laser cladding of hard Ni60 alloy on LA43M magnesium alloy to enhance its surface mechanical properties. Multiple processing parameters were investigated to obtain the optimal result. The synthesized coating was studied microstructurally by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The microhardness and wear resistance of the Ni60 coating were analyzed under Vickers hardness and pin on disc tribometer respectively. The obtained results show that the dense Ni60 coating was fabricated with a thickness of 300 μm. No cracks and porosities were detected in cross-sectional morphology. The Ni60 coating was mainly composed of γ-Ni and hard phases (chromium carbides and borides). The average microhardness of coating was recorded as 948 HV0.3, which is approximately eight times higher than that of the substrate. Meanwhile, the Ni60 coating exhibited better wear resistance than the substrate, which was validated upon the wear loss and wear mechanism. The wear loss recorded for the substrate was 6.5 times higher than that of the coating. The main wear mechanism in the Ni60 coating was adhesive while the substrate showed abrasive characteristics.

Laser cladding process is used to obtain protective coatings using as heat source a laser. This melts the substrate and the feedstock material to create a protective coating and provides a strong metallurgical bond with minimal dilution of the base material and reduced heat affected zone. In the present study a commercial NiCrSiFeB composition was deposited by laser cladding process using different parameters onto the surface of a steel substrate. The obtained coatings were investigated in terms of microstructure, hardness and wear behavior. The experimental results revealed that the laser power had a considerable influence on the wear resistance of NiCrSiFeB coatings.

To improve the wear property of 00Cr13Ni4Mo hydro turbine blade stainless steel, Ni-based composite coatings were fabricated on 00Cr13Ni4Mo stainless steel by laser cladding using mixed powders of Ni60, WC and TiN. The microstructure of the coatings was characterized by XRD and SEM techniques. The wear resistance of the coatings was evaluated under dry sliding wear condition at room temperature. The results show that the coatings mainly consist of Ni-based solid solution, WC and TiN phases. The coatings exhibit excellent wear resistance due to its high hardness of WC and TiN phases. The main wear mechanisms of the coatings and the 00Cr13Ni4Mo sample are different, the former is abrasive wear and the latter is adhesive wear.
