Preparation and Characterization of Ni60-Cr_3C_2-WC/TiC Plasma Welding Surfacing Layer

Using plasma build-up welding technology, Ni60, WC, Cr3C2, and TiC composite powders were clad on the surface of the substrate in a certain proportion according to the metallurgical bonding method to increase the bond strength between the coating and the substrate. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy were used to observe the microstructure of the surfacing layer and the chemical composition of the sample. The hardness and wear resistance of the surfacing layer were tested and analyzed by the HV-1000 hardness tester and the impact wear device. The results showed that in the microstructure, fishbone, spider-web, and floral-like structures appeared in the surfacing layer. When the micro-hardness was tested, the depth of the indentation reflected the hardness of the surfacing layer. When analyzing wear resistance, the amount of wear increases with time.

超音速火焰喷涂Ni60-40WC涂层高频感应重熔处理及其水润滑摩擦磨损性能

为进一步提高重熔涂层的性能,采用超音速火焰喷涂与高频感应重熔复合工艺在17-4PH马氏体沉淀硬化不锈钢上制备了孔隙率低且含WC硬质相的Ni60-40WC涂层,利用金相显微镜、扫描电子显微镜、X射线衍射仪、电子探针和维氏显微硬度计表征了涂层显微组织及特性,采用摩擦磨损试验测试了涂层的水润滑磨损性能。结果表明:感应重熔促使涂层组织均匀化,涂层与基体界面元素互扩散形成了连续的界面冶金结合;随着感应电流增大,重熔程度增强,界面扩散区增厚,从860 A的厚约5μm增加至920 A的10μm左右;界面区不锈钢基体侧产生了30～50μm厚的热影响区,由马氏体转变为铁素体;感应重熔对涂层显微硬度改善不明显,可主要归结为Cr_7C_3和Cr_(23)C_6等硬质相弥散析出作用,但重熔涂层比磨损率显著降低,仅约为喷涂态涂层的1/3;喷涂态涂层磨痕呈现出典型WC颗粒脱落及破碎导致的犁沟形貌特征的磨粒磨损,感应重熔涂层磨痕光滑平整,为轻度磨粒磨损,摩擦系数降低了1个数量级;涂层扁平粒子之间、硬质相与Ni60合金组织之间的元素扩散,有效增强了涂层内聚力,抑制了摩擦接触中WC颗粒的脱落,改变了摩擦磨损机制。
