Proper Cr content(5 at% Cr) will lead to decrease in the melting point, and improves the viscosity of the liquid and the nucleation rate of the molten pool, leading to refining grains of the solidification structure. As a result, the Fe-29 Al-5 Cr laser cladding layer exhibits the best hardness, plasticity properties, and wear resistance at 400 °C. Excessive Cr for the Fe-29 Al-7.5 Cr coating leads to the formation of Cr2 Al in the grain boundaries and thermal vacancies during the solidification process, resulting in inferior mechanical properties and poor tribological behavior.展开更多
