For the improvement of a surface wear resistance of aluminum alloys, iron-based alloys were clad on the surface of an aluminum alloy by laser. By investigating the effect of CO2 and diode laser irradiation conditions on the formability of Fe-Cr-C clad layers, it was confirmed that the application of diode laser made it possible to obtain stable beads in low heat input compared with CO2 laser, which has been conventionally used for laser cladding. Besides, by optimizing the laser parameters, the dilution ratio of clad layers by Al substrate was minimized less than 10%. At the clad interface, the reaction layer consisting of Fe2Al5 and FeAl3 formed which caused cracks at the clad interface. Even by controlling laser conditions, this brittle layer formation could not suppressed. In this research, by using the immiscible Fe-Cu-Cr alloys as clad materials, Fe based clad layers were formed on Al substrate without any cracks at clad interface. By the effect of Marangoni motion of decomposed duplex liquid phases, Cu segregated between Al substrate and Fe based clad layers and suppressed the reaction between them.

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.

TiC and TiB 2 reinforced iron based metal matrix composite (MMC) coating was synthesized on mild carbon steel by laser cladding employing B 4 C , ferrotitanium, and FeCrSiB mixed powders. The microstructure and chemical composition were analyzed by means of SEM, EPMA, and XRD. Results show that the coating mainly consists of α– Fe(Ni) , TiB 2, TiC , B 6 Fe 23, Cr 2 B , and M 23 C 6. TiB 2, and TiC reinforcements are formed in situ through the reaction between B 4 C and ferrotitanium. Hardness and wear measurement results show that the hardness and wear resistance of the composites are much higher than that of the as-received sample.

Iron-based composite coatings reinforced with TiB2–TiC multiple ceramic have been fabricated from a precursor of B4C , TiO2 and Al powders by laser cladding. The effect of TiO2 and Al on the microstructure and wear properties of the coatings was investigated. The results showed that the volume fraction, type and size of the reinforcements were influenced by the content of TiO2 and Al . TiB2 and TiC were evenly distributed in the coating; however, most of Al2O3 were ejected from the coatings, only few of them retained in the coating acting as nucleation core of reinforcement or inclusion. The microhardness and wear resistance of the coatings were improved, whereas the friction coefficients of the coatings were considerably lower than that of substrate.

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.

Ceramic-reinforced metal matrix composites are known for their high wear resistance. A coating based on these materials would be helpful to improve the wear behavior of aluminum alloys. Laser cladding has been used to deposit a coating consisting of an aluminum alloy reinforced with SiC particles on an AA6082 aluminum alloy. Laser cladding is a very energetic technique that causes the SiC particles to react with the molten aluminum to form Al4C3, which degrades the particles and reduces the properties of the coating. The formation of this detrimental compound was successfully achieved with the addition of Silicon and Titanium to the composite matrix. The microstructures of the newly developed material were characterized and the wear behavior was studied under dry sliding conditions on a pin-on-disc tribometer. The relationship between the microstructure and wear behavior was identified. The absence of Al4C3 in the Al40Si/SiC and Al12Si20Ti/SiC coatings’ microstructures resulted in an abrasion mechanism instead of a delamination mechanism. The wear behavior changed along the sliding distances. During the first 200 m of sliding distances, the wear rate of all coatings was lower than the uncoated one due to their higher microhardness. For longer sliding distances, the wear resistance of the uncoated AA6082 was higher than the coated ones due to the formation of a lubricant oxide layer on the AA6082 worn surface. For 1000 m of wear distances, the wear behavior was different for each coating. The wear rate of the Al12Si/SiC coating continued growing due to the delamination mechanism and the presence of Al4C3 that acted as starting crack points. The wear rate of the Al40Si/SiC coating decreased due to the formation of a thin, superficial oxide layer. The wear rate of the Al12SiTi/SiC progressively decreased along the sliding distance to below the substrate wear rate.

Anodic oxide coatings are applied on aluminum alloys in order to improve corrosion resistance and to increase hardness and wear resistance. In the current study, a hard anodic coating was applied on AA7075-T6 aluminum alloy. To survey the anodizing temperature (electrolyte temperature) effect, three temperatures, namely, [Formula: see text]C, 0∘C and 5∘C were chosen and the samples were sealed in boiling water and sodium dichromate to study the role of sealing. For measuring the oxide coatings porosity and hardness and also for comparing the samples’ wear resistance field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), microhardness test and pin-on-disk method were utilized, respectively. The results showed that by increasing the anodizing temperature, hardness and consequently wear resistance decreased so that hardness and weight loss in the samples with no sealing decreased from 460[Formula: see text]HV and 0.61[Formula: see text]mg at [Formula: see text]C to 405 and 358[Formula: see text]HV and 1.05 and 1.12[Formula: see text]mg at 0∘C and 5∘C, respectively, which is due to the porosity increment by increasing the anodizing temperature. Also, sealing in boiling water and dichromate contributed to soft phases and coating hydration, which resulted in a decrease in hardness and wear resistance. Hardness and weight loss in the coated samples at [Formula: see text]C decreased from 460[Formula: see text]HV and 0.61[Formula: see text]mg in the samples with no sealing to 435 and 417[Formula: see text]HV and 0.72 and 0.83[Formula: see text]mg in the samples sealed in boiling water and dichromate, respectively.
