Crack Restraining Methods and their Effects on the Microstructures and Properties of Laser Cladded WC/Fe Coatings
摘要： Laser cladded WC/Fe coatings have the advantages of low cost and high abrasion wear resistance. However, cracks always appear in WC/Fe coatings, which limits their industrial application. In this paper, the co-effects of the re-melting process, heat treatments, and amount of Co element on the cracking susceptibility, microstructures, and mechanical properties of WC/Fe laser cladding coatings were studied. Experimental results show that re-melting process is helpful to improve the surface quality of the coating and to reduce the cracking susceptibility. The hardness of the coating decreases slightly but distributes more uniformly. Cracks in the coating can be inhibited effectively by preheating the substrate to 250 ?C and maintaining the temperature during the laser cladding process, as well as applying an annealing treatment at 300 ?C for 1 h. Heat treatment also results in a slight decrease in the hardness. Crack initiation cannot be restrained completely by applying the above two methods when laser cladding a big area of coating. On the basis of the above two methods, addition of Co element to the coating can further improve its toughness and decrease the crack susceptibility. Crack-free WC/Fe coating can be manufactured when 8% Co is added, and its wear resistance is much better than that of the hardened medium steel, especially when the wear time is long.

Corrosion study of laser cladded Ti-6Al-4V alloy in different corrosive environments
摘要： Laser cladding of Ti-6Al-4V powder on a substrate with the same chemical composition was performed at different laser powers. The effect of laser power on the microstructure and corrosion behavior was then investigated. Electrochemical studies were performed by potentiodynamic polarization tests in different corrosive environments (3.5% NaCl, 2% H2SO4 and 5% HCl solutions). Microstructural investigation together with phase characterization revealed that laser cladded Ti-6Al-4V coatings were composed of needle-like martensite (ɑ/) and coaxial hexagonal compact (ɑ) phases. The coatings were crack-free; however, some cavities were observed in the coatings produced at high laser powers. In all three corrosive environments, the coatings showed a more noble corrosion behavior compared to the untreated substrate. The results showed that corrosion potential increases from ?410 (mV) to ?130 (mV) in NaCl and from ?50 (mV) to ?20 (mV) in H2SO4 enviroments but decreases from ?60 (mV) to ?270 (mV) in HCl solution. Increasing laser power had a positive effect on the corrosion behavior in NaCl and H2SO4 solutions; however, it had a negative effect on the corrosion behavior in HCl solution.

Microstructure and tribological properties of laser cladded self-lubricating nickel-base composite coatings containing nano-Cu and h-BN solid lubricants
摘要： In the present work, nickel-base composite powder (Ni60), nickel-base composite powder with the addition of h-BN solid lubricants (h-BN/Ni60) and nickel-base composite powder with the addition of nano-Cu encapsulated h-BN solid lubricants (nano-Cu/h-BN/Ni60) were used as raw materials to synthesize three different coatings on Q235 steels by laser cladding. Microstructures of these coatings were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. Tribological properties of these coatings were investigated at the temperatures from 25 °C to 600 °C. High temperature micro-hardness measurement was performed by Vickers micro-hardness tester. The results showed that the h-BN particles survived after laser cladding and displayed a homogeneous distribution in the nickel-base composite matrix. The encapsulation of h-BN by nano-Cu resulted in an increase of h-BN content in the coating. Although the addition of nano-Cu and h-BN led to a decrease on hardness, the nano-Cu/h-BN/Ni60 coating had the lowest friction coefficient and wear rate among the three coatings in a wide range of temperature from 25 °C to 500 °C. The mechanism of wear reduction by addition of nano-Cu encapsulated h-BN solid-lubricants was also discussed in this research.

Comparative investigation into effects of ZrO <sub/>2</sub> and Al <sub/>2</sub> O <sub/>3</sub> addition in fluorapatite laser-clad composite coatings on Ti6Al4V alloy
摘要： Composite coatings consisting of fluorapatite mixed with 20 wt% yttria (3 mol%) stabilized cubic phase zirconia (c-ZrO2, 3Y-TZP) or 20 wt% alumina (a-Al2O3) were deposited on Ti6Al4V substrates using a Nd:YAG laser cladding system. The interface morphology, phase composition, micro-hardness and biological properties of the two coatings were examined and compared. The results showed that the fluorapatite/Al2O3 specimen underwent a greater inter-diffusion at the interface between the coating layer and the transition layer than the fluorapatite/ZrO2 specimen. During the cladding process, the ZrO2 and Al2O3 components of the coating were completely decomposed or underwent phase transformation. In addition, the fluorapatite was partially decomposed. For both specimens, the coating layers contained fluorapatite, CaF2 and CaTiO3 phases. The coating layer of the fluorapatite/ZrO2 specimen additionally contained TTCP, CaO, CaZrO3 and m-ZrO2 (monoclinic phase), while that of the fluorapatite/Al2O3 specimen contained b-TCP, CaAl2O4 and u-Al2O3. The average micro-hardness of the fluorapatite/ZrO2 coating layer (1300 HV) was approximately 200 HV higher than that of the fluorapatite/Al2O3 coating layer (1100 HV). Both specimens generated dense bone-like apatite following immersion in simulated body fluid for 3 days. In other words, both specimens had a good in vitro bioactivity. However, the fluorapatite/ZrO2 specimen showed a better initial attachment and spread of osteoblast-like osteosarcoma MG63 cells than the fluorapatite/Al2O3 specimen in in vitro biocompatibility tests performed for 24 h.

摘要： The fcc structural CoCr2FeNiTi0.5 high-entropy alloy (HEA) composite coating with TiN particles reinforced was acquired by laser cladding on the commercial 904L stainless steels. The results show that phase structure is mainly composed of fcc solid solution and TiN phases. The coating exhibits excellent structural stability below 850 °C. The microstructure consists of irregular dendrite and TiN particles. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results reveal that the close-packed plane of fcc phase is (111) with interplanar spacing of * 0.208 nm. The interface between TiN and fcc matrix is semi-coherent. And the angle of boundary between dendrite and matrix is * 65°. The hardness and corrosion resistance of coating have much improvement compared with those of substrate.

Synthesis and characterization of nickel free titanium–hydroxyapatite composite coating over Nitinol surface through in-situ laser cladding and alloying
摘要： In this study, a high power fibre laser was used to synthesize titanium hydroxyapatite composite coating over biomedical-grade Nitinol surface through laser in-situ formation, cladding and alloying processes. The laser fluence is varied in the range of 2 kJ/cm2 to 8 kJ/cm2 in view of establishing a relationship between various in-situ phase-formation characteristics along with the rate of diffusion of the base material in the cladding zone with molten pool temperature. The alloying with base Nitinol material and subsequent diffusion of titanium to the in-situ formed calcium phosphate cladding layer are observed in the samples treated with laser fluence of 4 kJ/cm2 or above. Double layer configuration of the solidified molten pool is mostly found in all the cladding samples. At the fluence of 6 kJ/cm2 or above, the top layer primarily comprises segregated titanium-hydroxyapatite phase along with diffusion of titanium from the base material. Whereas, the bottom part of the molten pool is dominated with titanium-rich nickel–titanium intermetallic reinforced with nano particles. The steady-state variations of calcium and elemental presence of titanium through the cladding cross-section along with no nickel or oxide presence are confirmed through EDS line scans. The spherical and lamellar structures of formation of titanium-hydroxyapatite on the top surface also help to improve the overall corrosion resistance properties as compared to the bare surface. The modulus of elasticity is controlled by the variation of the top layer and intermediate layer composition and thickness, which varies with laser fluence. It falls in the range of 6–30 GPa which is similar to natural bone. Thus this nickel-free alloying and cladding layer of titanium-hydroxyapatite can serve as one of the potential candidates for use as a coating over the load bearing Nitinol implants to arrest the nickel release phenomena.

Cladding of Stellite-6/WC Composites Coatings by Laser Metal Deposition
摘要： This study aims to investigate the microstructure and hardness of multi-layered Stellite-6/WC metal-matrix composites coatings on metallic substrates cladded by laser metal deposition (LMD) for improvement of wear and corrosion resistances. As coating materials, Stellite-6 and WC-12wt.%Co powders were selected. Powder mixtures having various mixing-ratios of Stellite-6 and WC-12wt.%Co were provided vertically on S45C substrates by controlling powder feeding rates of the two powder feeders, individually. Stellite-6/WC composites which consist of three layers with different compositions were cladded on the S45C substrates by laser melting. Cross-sectional microstructure observation was carried out by using an optical microscope (OM). Vickers microhardness tests were conducted to evaluate hardness of the cladding layers and substrates. The experimental results demonstrate that hard multi-layered Stellite-6/WC metal-matrix composites coatings were successfully cladded on the S45C substrates. Property gradients in the Stellite-6/WC composites could be made due to the position-dependent chemical composition and microstructure made by controlling powder feeding rates of an LMD system.

Effect of Nb addition on microstructure and properties of laser cladding NiCrBSi coatings
摘要： NiCrBSi coatings with different Nb additions have been prepared by laser cladding. The microstructure, phase composition, hardness, and wear resistance of the coatings were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron probe microanalyser (EPMA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), microhardness tester and M-200 wear tester. The results show that the phases in the NiCrBSi coating without Nb addition include γ-Ni, Cr23C6, Cr7C3, Ni3B, Ni3Si2 and CrB. The NbC phase appears in coatings after the addition of Nb element. When the addition of Nb is 2 wt-%, the NbC particles with a size of about 1.2 μm were found in the coating, and the amount of NbC is about 1.8 vol.-%. With the increase of Nb addition, the size and amount of NbC in the coatings also increased. When the addition of Nb is 6 wt-%, the size of NbC is about 2.3–6.1 μm and the morphology of NbC changed from particle to quadrangular and petaloid shaped. In addition, when the addition of Nb is 2 wt-%, the hardness and wear resistance of the coating are the best, and the wear resistance of the coating is 104% higher than that without Nb addition.

Effects of TiC on the microstructure and properties of TiC/TiAl composite coating prepared by laser cladding
摘要： In order to study the effect of TiC on the microstructure and properties of cladding coatings, TiC/TiAl composite coatings have been prepared by using a laser cladding technique on TiAl alloy, and the microstructure and properties of the resulting composite coatings have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro-hardness testing, X-ray stress measurements, friction and wear testing, and an electrochemical workstation. The results showed that when the particle size of TiC is up to micron, the growth of TiC is more developed, the dendrite growth direction is disordered, and the cladding quality is poor. When the particle size of TiC is nanoscale, the morphology of the reinforcement phase TiC is mainly granular and thin rods, which is uniform in the coating and the direction of growth is regular. When the concentration of TiC reaches 20%, the microstructure of the cladding layer grows well and is dense. The microhardness and wear resistance of the coatings prepared by adding nano TiC are better than those of the coatings prepared by micron TiC. When the content of nano TiC in the coatings increases from 10% to 20%, the microhardness and wear resistance of the coatings are obviously improved. The residual stress of the coating is positively related to the crack rate. The residual stress in the coating is tensile stress, and the crack type is the crystal crack in the hot crack. When the particle size of TiC is small and the concentration is high, the coating shows better corrosion resistance.
