AbstractDiode laser surface alloying process was used to the in-situ synthesis of TiC-reinforced composite surface layers on the ductile cast iron substrate. The obtained composite surface layers were investigated using optical and scanning electron microscopy, and XRD diffraction.It was found that the morphology and fraction of TiC phase is directly dependent upon both the concentration of titanium in the molten pool and also the solidification rate. With increasing titanium content, the fraction of TiC increases, whereas the fraction of cementite decreases. The TiC phase promotes a heterogeneous nucleation of primary austenite grains, what reduces a tendency of cracking in the alloyed layers.

This chapter presents a novel method for analysis and optimization of the in-situ formation of TiC-reinforced composite surface layers (TRL) on a ductile cast iron substrate during the laser surface alloying process, combining the experimental approach with the computational thermodynamics. The microstructure of the TRLs has been assessed by light optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results of thermodynamic calculations with the Scheil-Gulliver model showed a good agreement with the experimental results, indicating that the actual solidification path for the analyzed Fe-C-Si-Ti alloy systems under the investigated range of laser processing conditions is close to the Scheil-Gulliver assumption.

The past studies indicated that thermal fatigue resistance of cast irons could be improved by partly laser melting treatment. However the only disadvantage of this technology is that the enhancement of thermal fatigue resistance would be limited because of the fixed chemical composition of sample matrix. For this purpose, the laser surface alloying of CrNi was selected for changing both the compositions and the microstructures of laser treated zone, and the effects of alloy powder compositions on thermal fatigue behavior were also investigated in this paper. The results indicate that the alloy elements distribute homogeneously, and their contents increase markedly in the non-smooth unit on the alloyed layer. The non-smooth unit is strengthened further compared with laser melting treatment. Thermal fatigue resistance of cast iron is enhanced evidently by laser surface alloying of CrNi powders, and for all samples tested, those treated with 25%Cr-75%Ni powders have the best thermal fatigue resistance.

The aim of the present work is to investigate the microstructure of Al-Pb monotectic surface layers generated by a laser surface alloying technique on the surface of an Al-4Cu-1.5Si-0.5Mg alloy. Monotectic alloys are generally used as materials for sliding bearings. Layers of a monotectic alloy generated by laser surface alloying have a potential for superior properties, because the rapid solidification during this process results in fine precipitation structures which can act as solid lubricant. The structure of the Al-Pb monotectic surface layers was observed in the light microscope and the scanning electron microscope. Volume fraction and size distribution of lead particles were determined by quantitative image analysis. Pin-on-disc experiments were carried out to characterize and compare the tribological properties of the Al-Pb monotecitc layers and cast Al-Cu-Si-Mg alloys.

The laser surface alloying(LSA) technique was firstly used to form wear resistant layers on nodular cast iron rolls with two different powders, A: NiCr-Cr3C2 and B: C-B-W-Cr. The microstructure, element distribution and phases of the layers were investigated. Results indicate that the alloying layers had pores and cracks, as well as a metallurgical bonding with the substrates. For layers with powder A, as the thickness of the pre-layers decreased, the numbers of pores and cracks of the LSA layers decreased but the thicknesses of them were close. Phases were barely influenced by the thickness of the pre-layer, while the content of them were affected. For layers with powder B, as the laser specific energy increased, the numbers of pores and cracks in the LSA layers decreased and the thicknesses of them increased. The microstructure in the layers with different powders was different.
