Conventional Fe-C alloy parts used in mechanical transmission and braking systems exposed to the external environment often suffer from wear and corrosion failures.Surface coating strengthening technologies have been ...Conventional Fe-C alloy parts used in mechanical transmission and braking systems exposed to the external environment often suffer from wear and corrosion failures.Surface coating strengthening technologies have been explored to improve the surface performance and prolong service life of these parts.Among these technologies,laser cladding has shown promise in producing Fe-based alloy coatings with superior interfacial bonding properties to the Fe-C alloy substrate.Additionally,the microstructure of the Fe-based alloy coating is more uniform and the grain size is finer than that of surfacing welding,thermal spraying,and plasma cladding,and the oxide film of alloying elements on the coating surface can improve the coating performance.However,Fe-based alloy coatings produced by laser cladding typically exhibit lower hardness,lower wear resistance,corrosion resistance,and oxidation resistance compared to coatings based on Co and Ni alloys.Moreover,these coatings are susceptible to defects such as pores and cracks.To address these limitations,the incorporation of rare-earth oxides through doping in the laser cladding process has garnered significant attention.This approach has demonstrated substantial improvements in the microstructure and properties of Fe-based alloy coatings.This paper reviewed recent research on the structure and properties of laser-cladded Fe-based alloy coatings doped with various rare earth oxides,including La_(2)O_(3),CeO_(2),and Y_(2)O_(3).Specifically,it discussed the effects of rare earth oxides and their concentrations on the structure,hardness,friction,wear,corrosion,and oxidation characteristics of these coatings.Furthermore,the mechanisms by which rare earth oxides influence the coating’s structure and properties were summarized.This review aimed to serve as a valuable reference for the application and advancement of laser cladding technology for rare earth modified Fe-based alloy coatings.展开更多

文摘In this work,a novel surface strengthening strategy for Mg-Li alloys was proposed,called cold spraying assisted high-speed laser cladding.CuAl9 aluminum bronze coating was firstly deposited on Mg-Li alloy by cold spraying,and then CoCrFe_(0.5)Ni_(1.5)Mo_(0.1)Nb_(0.68)eutectic highentropy alloy(EHEA)coating was prepared on the CuAl9 coating utilizing high-speed laser cladding.A gradient coating consisted of in-situ transition region and EHEA layer formed by bidirectional diffusion.The in-situ transition region was composed ofβ-Li,Cu_(2)Mg and Cu_(3)Al_(2)phases.TEM analysis indicated that Cu_(2)Mg and Cu_(3)Al_(2)phases were well matched with theβ-Li matrix phase.The EHEA coating had a nano-lamellar eutectic microstructure with relatively small lamellar-spacing(<100 nm).Metallurgical bonding interfaces formed between the EHEA coating,transition region and Mg-Li substrate.The evolution mechanism of the coating was revealed from the perspectives of mixing enthalpy,atomic radius difference and laser energy distribution.In 3.5 wt.%NaCl solution,the corrosion potential of the EHEA coating(-24 m VSHE)was 1345 m VSHEhigher than that of Mg-Li alloy(-1369 m VSHE),while the corrosion current density of the EHEA coating(3.13×10^(-7)A·cm^(-2))was almost three orders of magnitude lower than that of Mg-Li alloy(1.25×10^(-4)A·cm^(-2)).The wear rate of Mg-Li alloy(1.11×10^(-3)mm^(3)/N·m)was about 36 times higher than that of the EHEA coating(3.05×10^(-5)mm^(3)/N·m).

文摘A low rare-earth containing ZEK100-O magnesium alloy was welded to AA1230-clad high-strength AA2024-T3 aluminum alloy via solidstate ultrasonic spot welding(USW)to evaluate the microstructure,tensile lap shear strength,and fatigue properties.The tensile strength increased with increasing welding energy,peaked at a welding energy of 1000 J,and then decreased due to the formation of an increasingly thick diffusion layer mainly containing Al12Mg17intermetallic compound at higher energy levels.The peak tensile lap shear strength attained at 1000 J was attributed to the optimal inter-diffusion between the magnesium alloy and softer AA1230-clad Al layer along with the presence of‘fishhook'-like mechanical interlocks at the weld interface and the formation of an indistinguishable intermetallic layer.The dissimilar joints welded at 1000 J also exhibited a longer fatigue life than other Mg-Al dissimilar joints,suggesting the beneficial role of the softer clad layer with a better intermingling capacity during USW.While the transverse-through-thickness(TTT)failure mode prevailed at lower cyclic loading levels,interfacial failure was the predominant mode of fatigue failure at higher cyclic loads,where distinctive fatigue striations were also observed on the fracture surface of the softer clad Al layer.This was associated with the presence of opening stress and bending moment near the nugget edge despite the tension-tension lap shear cyclic loading applied.

文摘The high-entropy alloy composite coatings AlCu_(2)Ti(NiCr)_(2)-(WC)_(x)(x denotes powder feeding speeds,including 0,25,50,and 75 r/min)were prepared by plasma cladding using a hybrid mode of AlCu_(2)(NiCr)_(2)Ti cable-type welding wire(CWW)and tungsten carbide(WC)powder.The effect of WC powder feeding speed on the microstructure,hardness,and wear properties of the prepared coatings was investigated.The results show that the coatings consist of body-centered cubic main phases and face-centered cubic secondary phases,with carbide reinforcement phases formed due to the addition of WC.The hardness and wear resistance of the coatings are significantly improved compared to the TC11 substrate.When WC powder feeding speed is set at 50 r/min,the coating exhibits optimal wear resistance,with a minimum volume wear rate of 8.5869×10^(-6)mm^(3)·N^(-1)·m^(-1),greatly improving the wear properties of TC11 surface.The coincident CWW-powder plasma cladding provides a viable method for the preparation of highentropy alloy composite coatings with enhanced wear resistance.
文摘Aseries of [(Fe_(0.6)Co_(0.2)Ni_(0.2))_(0.75-0.03x)B_(0.2)Si_(0.05+0.03x)]_(96)Nb_(4) amorphous alloy composite coatings were prepared by adjusting the silicon content(x=0,1,2,3,4,5,and 6)and their microstructures and tribological properties were investigated by laser cladding technique.Additionally,the effect of Si on the glass forming ability(GFA)of the layers was understood.Results show that an appropriate Si content can refine the microstructure of the FeCoNiBSiNb laser cladding layers and improve the mechanical and tribological properties.The hardness of the coating layer increases monotonically with the Si content.At the Si content of 4.8at%(x=0),the coating layer exhibits a relatively low hardness(734.2HV 0.1).Conversely,at the silicon content of 13.44at%(x=3),the coating layer exhibits the highest hardness(1106HV 0.1).The non-crystalline content and tensile strength exhibit an initial increase,followed by a subsequent decrease.At x=2,the coating exhibits its maximum fracture strength(2880 MPa).However,when x>2,the fracture strength of the coating decreases with an increase in x.Conversely,with an increase in Si content,the wear volume loss initially decreases and then increases.At a Si content of 10.56at%(x=2),the coating exhibits the highest non-crystalline content(42%),the highest tensile strength(2880 MPa),and the most favorable dry friction performance.
文摘The failure of mechanical components is mainly caused by three key mechanisms:wear,corrosion,and fatigue.Among these failure modes,wear of mechanical components notably increases energy consumption and leads to substantial economic losses.Fe-Cr-C-B-Ti-Y wear-resistant cladding metals were prepared by the plasma cladding method.The wear performance of the cladding metals was analyzed using an MLS-23 rubber wheel wet sand wear tester.X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscope,electron backscatter diffraction,and transmission electron microscope were employed to investigate the phase composition and microstructure of the cladding metals,followed by a discussion of their strengthening and wear mechanisms.The results indicate that the microstructure of Fe-Cr-C-B-Ti-Y cladding metals is composed of austeniteγ-Fe,M_(23)(C,B)_(6)eutectic carbide,and TiC hard phase.As the Y_(2)O_(3)content increases,the hardness and wear resistance of the cladding metal show a trend of first increasing and then decreasing.When the Y_(2)O_(3)content is 0.4wt%,the precipitation of TiC hard phase and M_(23)(C,B)_(6)-type eutectic carbides reaches maximum,and the grain size is the finest.The cladding metal exhibits optimal formability,featuring the smallest wetting angle of 52.2°.Under this condition,the Rockwell hardness value of the cladding metal is 89.7 HRC,and the wear mass loss is 0.27 g.The dominant wear mechanism of cladding metals is abrasive wear,and the material removal process involves micro-cutting and plowing.

文摘In order to enhance the wear resistance of 45 steel,a WC/Stellite 6 composite layer with 30%WC which with different morphologies(spherical and irregular)was prepared on the surface of 45 steel by laser cladding technology.The effects of WC morphology on the phase composition,microstructure,microhardness,and wear resistance of the cladding layer were compared and analyzed.The res-ults show that the surface of the cladding layer was well formed.M_(23)C_(6),M_(7)C_(3),WC,and W_(2)C exist in both cladding layers.With the ad-dition of spherical WC,the diffraction peaks of γ-Co appear on the left side of the main peak of Co6W6C.The area of intergranular carbides accounts for a large proportion in the surface layer which with the fine grains.During the process of laser cladding the spherical WC particles with loose structure are prone to melting,including their interior.However,the melting amount of irregular WC particles is finite,which only occurs on the periphery of the particles,and the particle interior is relatively intact.The microhard-ness of two cladding layers gradient increases from the substrate to the surface layer.The surface layer added spherical WC has high-er microhardness,which reaches 790.6 HV1.Nevertheless,the wear resistance of the cladding layer added irregular WC is better than that of the cladding layer added spherical WC.The reason is because that the incompletely melted irregular WC particles are uni-formly distributed in the cladding layer which provided the support points for the cladding layer matrix during the wear process,the wear of the cladding layer by the grinding pair is reduced consequently.

文摘Conventional Fe-C alloy parts used in mechanical transmission and braking systems exposed to the external environment often suffer from wear and corrosion failures.Surface coating strengthening technologies have been explored to improve the surface performance and prolong service life of these parts.Among these technologies,laser cladding has shown promise in producing Fe-based alloy coatings with superior interfacial bonding properties to the Fe-C alloy substrate.Additionally,the microstructure of the Fe-based alloy coating is more uniform and the grain size is finer than that of surfacing welding,thermal spraying,and plasma cladding,and the oxide film of alloying elements on the coating surface can improve the coating performance.However,Fe-based alloy coatings produced by laser cladding typically exhibit lower hardness,lower wear resistance,corrosion resistance,and oxidation resistance compared to coatings based on Co and Ni alloys.Moreover,these coatings are susceptible to defects such as pores and cracks.To address these limitations,the incorporation of rare-earth oxides through doping in the laser cladding process has garnered significant attention.This approach has demonstrated substantial improvements in the microstructure and properties of Fe-based alloy coatings.This paper reviewed recent research on the structure and properties of laser-cladded Fe-based alloy coatings doped with various rare earth oxides,including La_(2)O_(3),CeO_(2),and Y_(2)O_(3).Specifically,it discussed the effects of rare earth oxides and their concentrations on the structure,hardness,friction,wear,corrosion,and oxidation characteristics of these coatings.Furthermore,the mechanisms by which rare earth oxides influence the coating’s structure and properties were summarized.This review aimed to serve as a valuable reference for the application and advancement of laser cladding technology for rare earth modified Fe-based alloy coatings.
文摘Cladding light strippers(CLSs)are essential components for high-power monolithic fiber laser systems.Because they allow for bending of the fiber,which leads to an excellent stripping efficiency of light with a low ray angle,refractive index-based CLSs have an advantage over the commonly used alternative approaches.However,conventional high-index CLSs overheat at relatively low input power as the maximum temperature,located in a hot-spot,increases linearly with the input power.This applies particularly to CLSs in thulium-based fiber systems,where very low power can already lead to extreme heat generation due to the high cladding material absorption around 2μm.Here,we investigate materials with a highly negative thermooptical coefficient combined with a refractive index closely above glass to distribute the stripped power and heat uniformly along an increased fiber length.Analyzing multiple CLS geometries for fiber diameters of 125 and 400μm,we show record-high maximum input powers for single-material CLSs of 21.8 W for the signal(2039 nm)and 675 W for the pump wavelength(793 nm).Transmitting excess light instead of overheating,this wavelength-adaptable self-protecting CLS concept is fast to apply onsite in the lab and reaches stripping efficiencies of>40 dB in the bent version.

文摘This work investigated tribological behavior and corrosion resistance of laser cladding(LC)Ti_(50)Nb_(15)V_(15)Zr_(5)Cr_(5)Al_(10)high-entropy alloy(HEA)coatings on Ti6Al4V substrates.Microstructural characterization illustrated that there was only body centered cubic phase in the HEA coating.Besides,the coatings of different laser power all exhibited obviously higher hardness than the substrate.It is illustrated that the microstructure of the HEA coatings is composed of body centered cubic phase,and the temperature gradient contributes to the distribution difference between the equiaxed and columnar grains.Meanwhile,the relationships between the tribological behavior,corrosion resistance and alloying elements have been illustrated.The HEA coating with 2200 W holds the best wear and corrosion resistance.During the friction process,there are many oxides formed at high temperatures,and adhesive wear contributes most to the wear mechanism of the coatings.The wear volumes of the HEA coatings are only 24.7%to 45.5%of that of the Ti6Al4V substrate.Due to the alloying elements like Cr and Al,there is dense passive film formed during the corrosion process,thereby leading to better corrosion resistance of the coatings.The corrosion rates of the HEA coatings with 2200 W and Ti6Al4V substrate are 5.34×10^(-3)mm/a and 2.69×10^(-2)mm/a,respectively.

文摘In order to enable efficient and cost-effective rehabilitation of surface-worn hydraulic supports,the synthesis and characterization of a novel Ti(N,B)/AISI431 composite coating formed on the surface of 27MnSi steel are explored via an exothermic in-situ reaction using the ultra-high speed laser cladding(EHLA in German)technique in combination with direct reaction synthesis(DRS).The aim is to mitigate the high residual stress and interfacial stress gradient in the remanufactured AISI431 coating on 27SiMn steel substrate and enhance surface wear resistance.The microstructure,phase composition and interface characteristics are carefully investigated.Much improved wear performance of the composite coating is revealed,mainly attributed to the in-situ formed Ti(N,B)precipitates,refined microstructure,broadened interface zone and reduced residual stress,benefited from the exothermic in-situ Ti(N,B)-reaction.The potential of combining ultra-high speed laser cladding with DRS is demonstrated to create coatings with tailored properties,providing valuable insights for developing advanced wear-resistant materials for industrial applications using EHLA.

文摘The mathematical model between laser cladding parameters and coating properties was established by the response surface method(RSM).Ni–WC-reinforced CoCrNiFeAl high-entropy alloy(HEA)composite coatings were prepared on the surface of 0Cr13Ni5Mo steel by laser cladding to study the addition of Ni–WC on slurry erosion resistance of coatings.The optimal parameters obtained by RSM are laser power of 1450 W,scanning speed of 4.3 mm/s,powder feeding speed of 1.3 r/min and overlap rate of 60%,respectively.The grains of CoCrNiFeAl composite coatings are refined by adding Ni–WC-reinforced powder.15 wt.%Ni–WC composite coating presents the maximum microhardness with the value of 655 HV_(0.3).The cumulative mass loss of the composite coatings at different erosion angles is lower than that of the pure CoCrNiFeAl coating.In addition,at low erosion angles,the cumulative mass loss of the composite coatings gradually decreases with the increase in the mass fraction of Ni–WC.Ploughing and microcutting are the primary erosion mechanisms of CoCrNiFeAl composite coatings at low erosion angles.When erosion damage occurs at high erosion angle,the erosion mechanisms of composite coating material loss are dominated by lip formation and craters.The proposed high-entropy alloy composite coatings can be applied to improve the erosion resistance of components in contact with high-speed fluids,such as ship propellers and centrifugal pump blades.

文摘In order to improve the surface properties of titanium alloys,a novel TiFeNiCuV high-entropy alloy(HEA)coating was prepared on a Ti−6Al−4V(TC4)substrate via laser cladding under different laser powers.The microstructure,microhardness,and friction wear properties of the coatings were systematically investigated.The results showed that at laser powers of 1200 and 2000 W,the microstructure of the coatings exhibited a core-shell dendritic structure.At 2800 W,the coatings displayed a daisy-like eutectic structure.The average hardness of the coatings reached HV 692.281 owing to solid-solution and fine-grain strengthening.Wear mechanisms of the coatings at room temperature primarily involved fatigue and slight oxidation wear.The total volume loss of the coatings was 4.22×10^(−3)mm^(3),which was 14.47%that of the TC4,indicating excellent wear resistance.

文摘TiC/Ti_(2)AlC core-shell structure reinforced Ti-based composite coating was prepared by laser cladding technology.The effect of Ti_(2)AlC content on the microstructure and mechanical behavior of the coating was studied.The results showed that the reinforced phase was mainly TiC/Ti_(2)AlC MAX phase core-shell structure at 20%Ti_(2)AlC content.According to the synthesis mechanism,Ti_(2)AlC nucleated on TiC through the diffusion of Al atoms to further generate the core-shell structure.The friction and wear test results showed that the wear resistance of the coating was significantly improved under the load distribution effect of the core-shell structure.The friction coefficient decreased to 0.342,and the wear rate reached 8.19×10^(−5)mm^(3)/(N·m),which was only 47.07%of TC4 substrate.

文摘The corrosion resistance of cobalt-based alloy cladding layers is crucial for the long-term reliability of materials in the nuclear power industry,where they are exposed to highly aggressive environmental conditions.A major challenge to their performance is the corrosion occurring at phase boundaries under harsh operating conditions.This study investigates the effects of pulsed magnetic field treatment(PMT)on improving corrosion resistance at phase boundaries,specifically at the carbide/matrix Co interface,and seeks to clarify the underlying mechanisms.Advanced characterization techniques,including scanning electron microscopy(SEM),in situ transmission electron microscopy(TEM),in situ scanning kelvin probe force microscopy(SKPFM),and density functional theory(DFT)calculations,were employed.PMT samples exhibited no interface corrosion cracking or carbide spalling and showed a significant reduction in corrosion depth.TEM analysis revealed reduced lattice distortion at phase boundaries and a partial transformation of face-centered cubic(FCC)Co to hexagonal closepacked(HCP)Co.The enhanced corrosion resistance at phase boundaries is attributed to changes in the electronic work function(EWF),as determined by SKPFM measurements and DFT calculations.

文摘The effects of the inter-annealing process on the microstructure,plane stress fracture toughness,and tensile properties of an AA7075 cladding sheet were investigated using optical microscopy,scanning electron microscopy,electron backscattered diffraction,transmission electron microscopy,and mechanical property tests.The results indicate that the plane stress fracture toughness of AA7075-T6 cladding sheet can be greatly improved.The plane stress fracture toughness for the longitudinal-transverse(L-T)and transverse-longitudinal(T-L)directions were 117.7 and 94.8 MPa·m^(1/2),respectively,after intermediate annealing at 380°C.This represents an increase of 23.9 MPa·m^(1/2)in the L-T direction and 22.6 MPa·m^(1/2) in the T-L direction compared with the AA7075-T6 cladding sheet without intermediate annealing.Moreover,the tensile strength remains similar under different conditions.Microstructure analysis indicates that intermediate annealing before heat treatment can result in long sub-grains,few recrystallized grain boundaries,and small size precipitates in AA7075-T6 cladding sheets.

文摘To improve the high-temperature service properties of coppery tuyere,Co06 coating with a Ni60A interlayer was prepared on copper by plasma cladding.Ni60A interlayer acted as a bridge to promote the element diffusion,thus achieving metallurgical bonding.Due to the strengthening effect ofγ-Co,Cr_(23)C_(6)and Cr_(7)C_(3)phases,the wear resistance of Co06–Ni60A coating was much higher than that of copper substrate.As the temperature increased,the wear resistance of coating decreased first and then increased.The coating exhibited better wear resistance at 600℃ due to the oxidation wear mechanism.Compared with copper substrate and Ni60A,the oxidation resistance of Co06 was increased by 6.0 and 1.9 times,respectively.For melting loss resistance,Co06–Ni60A coating was superior to Ni60A single-layer coating,but the molten iron can still form a micro-metallurgical bonding with the coating surface.
