In this study, Cu/TiB2composite coating was in-situ prepared on 304 steel by laser cladding. This coating applies to hospitals, schools and some public places where cross infections happen more easily because of its good antimicrobial properties and abrasion resistance. Before laser cladding, pre-blend of Cu powder, Ti powder and B powder were undertaken by ball-milling in two different proportions (10% wt (Ti+B) and 20% wt (Ti+B)). And the atomic ratio of Ti and B was 1:2. After a series of experiments, the best parameters were achieved. They were laser power (950W), scanning speed (14mm/s) and spot diameter (3.8mm). Samples after laser cladding were characterized using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that TiB2was fabricated in-situ. The dispersion degree of Cu was higher in the coating of 20% wt (Ti+B). The hardness of the 10% wt (Ti+B) coating was HRC57±4. With the increase of percentage of wt (Ti+B), the hardness of 20% wt (Ti+B) coating was HRC74±5. Both of them performed better than pure copper. Relative to pure copper, the abrasion resistance of Cu/TiB2composite coatings was more excellent. The results of antimicrobial experiments showed that, with the increase of percentage of wt (Ti+B), the antimicrobial properties were decreasing. But they still could to be considered favorable.

Two kinds of mixed powders:Ti-6Al-4V/B/C and Ti-6Al-4V/B4C which are pre-pasted or synchronized fed on Ti-6Al-4V substrates separately were scanned by a 500W pulsed YAG laser to induce in situ formation of titanium composite coatings contained TiBxand TiC ceramic reinforced phases. The influences of laser processing parameters including Pulse Frequency (PF), Pulse Width (PW), Laser Power (P) and Scanning Speed (V) together with the powder proportions on the microstructure and properties of the coatings were investigated. Microstructures, phase components of the coating were analyzed by OM, SEM, TEM and XRD respectively. Experimental results show that two and more kinds of ceramic reinforcements were in situ formatted in the matrix of Ti-6Al-4V. TiB and TiC ceramics were formed evenly with the morphology of needle, tiny dendrites and disperse particles in the prepasted single path specimens. For the powder feed laser cladding layers, the ceramic reinforcements were TiB (needlelike), TiB2(hexagonal prism or rodlike), a small amount of TiC (disperse particles) and non fully reacted B4C. The microhardness increased with the increase of the amount of B4C and B+C additions. When the added B and C contents are the same, the microhardness of the coating with B4C addition is higher than that of the coating with B+C addition. The average micro-hardness of a powder prepasted (with 20 wt.% B4C addition) multi-path laser cladding layer formed under the optimized processing parameters is up to 800HV, which is more than 2 times of that of the substrate (340Hv), and the wear weight loss of the layer decreased nearly 3 times that of the substrate.

Laser surface cladding is a material processing technique to overlay the precursor material with the substrate to form a sound chemical and metallurgical bonding. Recently, laser cladding technique has been introduced in the bioceramic coating field. This paper presents a new technology to obtain bioceramic composite coating on Ti6Al4V substrate by Nd-YAG laser cladding. The microstructures of the mixed powders and cladding layer were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, and the compositions were analyzed by electron diffraction spectroscopy. The phases of the mixed powders and cladding layer were clarified by X-ray diffraction technology. Composite coating including HAP,Ca2P2O7,Ca3(PO4)2 and calcium titanates was successfully obtained by Nd-YAG laser cladding with pre-depositing mixed powders of CaHPO4·2H2O and CaCO3 directly on Ti6Al4V substrate. The average grain size of the mixed powders is 3μm from the image analyse software. The most important parameter that affected the completion of laser cladding was the scanning speed.

FeCoCrNi-Mo high entropy alloy/diamond composite coatings were successfully prepared by high speed laser cladding. A high scanning speed was adopted (>30 mm/s), and the effects of laser power, scanning speed, and diamond content on the microstructure and wear resistance of the composite coating were studied. The processing parameters of laser cladding had significant influence on the dilution ratio, graphitization of diamond, and wear resistance of the composite coatings. When the laser cladding parameters were 3000 W of laser power and the high scanning speed of 50 mm/s, the composite coating exhibited a uniform microstructure, the lowest dilution ratio, and the best wear resistance. The wear resistance of the composite coating was enhanced with the addition of diamond, but microcracks also increased. When the amount of diamond was 15 wt.%, the best combination of microstructures and wear resistance was obtained.

Using laser cladding technique, TiC reinforced Ti matrix composite coatings were fabricated by preplacing TiC, (Ti+C), (Ti+TiC) powders respectively on the TA2 pure titanium surface.By means of XRD, SEM and Hv-Test, microstructures and microhardness were investigated. The results show that phases of the coatings are all composed of TiC and α-Ti. Delamination phenomenon appears when laser clad pure TiC coating, which has deleterious effect on properties. TiC phase is in-situ synthesized during laser clad (Ti+C) coating, but microstructure is coarse. Microstructure of (Ti+TiC) coating is the most uniform and dense of the three coatings. The microhardness sequence of the three coatings is (Ti+TiC)>TiC>(Ti+C), and the maximum value is Hv1246, Hv1213 and Hv1135 respectively. The main reason leads to the highest micro-hardness of (Ti+TiC) coating is the Ti powder is beneficial to laser cladding and large amount of TiC reinforcement formed which is compact and uniform.

In situ reaction synthesized TiB reinforced titanium matrix composites were fabricated using rapid non-equilibrium synthesis techniques of laser cladding. TiB/Ti composite coating was treated on Ti-6Al-4V surface using Ti and B powder mixture by laser cladding. Microstructure and dry sliding wear behavior of the in situ synthesized TiB/Ti composite coatings were investigated by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), hardness tester and friction and wear tester. The composite coatings consist of Ti, TiB and intermetallic compounds. The TiB reinforcement dispersed homogeneously in the composite coatings. The wear tests show that the friction coefficient and wear weight loss ratio of the coatings is lower than that of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The composite coating was reinforced by the in situ synthesized TiB ceramic particles. Based on the SEM observation, effects of scan speed on hardness and wear resistance of the laser cladding coatings were investigated and discussed.

A thin strip of a Zr -based alloy with a composition of Zr 60 Cu 25 Fe 5 Al 10 (in atom percent) was used as a raw material, and the composite coatings containing Zr -based amorphous phase and crystallites on Ti substrate were fabricated by a one-step laser cladding method without protection. The microstructure, phase constitution, microhardness and wear properties of the coatings were investigated. The results indicate that the microstructure of the coatings is strongly dependent on the laser scanning speed under the conditions of the laser power of 1300 W and laser beam diameter of 6 mm, and the composite coating mainly containing amorphous phase with a small amount of the crystallites can be obtained at the laser scanning speed of 10 mm/s. The composite coating exhibits much higher microhardness than the pure Ti substrate, and thus it behaves superior wear resistance in comparison with the substrate.
