The phase component, microstructure, composition distribution and properties of the composite layer were investigated. The composite layer has graded microstructures and compositions, due to the fast melting followed by rapid solidification and cooling during laser cladding. The TiC powders are completely dissolved into the melted layer during melting and segregated as fine dendrites when solidified. The size of TiC dendrites decreases with increasing depth. Y2O3 fine particles distribute in the whole clad layer. The Y2O3 particle enhanced Ni/TiC composite layer has a quite uniform hardness along depth with a maximum value of HV1380, which is 4 times higher than the initial hardness. The wear resistance of the Ti alloy is significantly improved after laser cladding due to the high hardness of the composite coating.展开更多

The Ti-Al coating was fabricated on the surface of electro-deposited nickel layer on copper matrix followed by the slurry pack cementation process. The effects of slurry pack cementation temperature on the microstructures and wear resistance of Ti-Al coating were studied. The results show that the microstructure of the coating changed from NiAl＋Ni3（Ti,Al） to NiAl ＋Ni3（Ti,Al）＋Ni4Ti3 to Ni4Ti3＋NiAl, and to NiAl＋Ni3（Ti,Al）＋NiTi with slurry pack cementation temperature ranging from 800 ℃ to 950 ℃ in 12 h. The friction coefficient of Ti-Al coating decreased and the hardness increased with increasing the slurry pack cementation temperature. The minimum friction coefficient was 1/3 and the minimum hardness was 5 times larger than that of pure copper.展开更多

The results show that a diffusional transformation takes place when the alloy is heated over 850 ℃ for a long time, and a new precipitation (Ni,Nb) 3Ti with an hcp structure can be found. The formation of the precipitation leads to an increment of microhardness and reduction in elongation.展开更多

The analyses of SEM, EPMA and TEM/EDAX show that (Ti, Nb)C-Ni consists of three phases,which are called interior, transitional and Ni phases respectively. Several models are calculated by self-consistent-field variational X alpha(SCF-DV-X alpha) method, one of the quantum chemistry calculating methods. The calculated results show that when Ni element increases, the bond orders (measures of strength of covalent bonding) of Ti-C and Ni-C in the models decrease correspondingly, which is to say that there is a gradient variation of the covalent bond in the transitional phase which is compatible with both the interior and Ni phases. It is beneficial for improving the mechanical properties of the materials.展开更多
