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 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.

An aluminized coating for low-carbon steel with good corrosion and wear resistance was first prepared through low-temperature pack aluminization. Then, the low-temperature-aluminized steel substrate was subjected to thermal oxidation in air. The phase composition, surface morphology, roughness, and elemental distribution of the aluminized carbon steel both before and after thermal oxidation were analyzed through X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the original carbon steel substrate, aluminized carbon steel, and oxidized carbon steel were tested. Results showed that nanowires composed of iron oxide and alumina formed in situ on the top layer of the aluminized carbon steel. The corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the low-carbon steel with the nanowire oxide coating were better than those of the original carbon steel and aluminized carbon steel because the in-situ nanowire oxide film improved the density of the aluminized coating.

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.

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.

Electroless Ni-P coating containing ZrO2particles was successfully co-deposited on low carbon steel substrate. The surface and cross-sectional micrographs of the composite coatings were observed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). And the chemical composition of the coating was analyzed with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The oxidation resistance was evaluated by weight gains during high temperature oxidation test. The results showed that the embedded ZrO2particles with irregular shape uniformly distributed in the entire Ni-P matrix, and the coating showed a good adhesion to the substrate. The weight gain curves of Ni-P-ZrO2composite coatings and Ni-P coating at 923K oxidation experiments were in accordance with . The ZrO2particles in Ni-P matrix could significantly enhance the high temperature oxidation resistance of the carbon steel substrate as compared to pure Ni-P coating.
