The coating was characterized by classical X-ray diffractometer （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM） with energy dispersive X-ray analysis （EDX）. The results indicate that the coating shows nanosized particulate structure and dendritic structure including columnar structure and equiaxed structure. The primary phases of the coating contain Fe3W3C, Co3W3C, Fe2C and Si2W. The coating has a low friction coefficient of 0.13, its average wear-resistance is 3.3 times that of the cast steel roll substrate and the main mechanism is abrasive wear. The maximum microhardness value of the coating is about 1573.9 Hv0.3. The study reveals that the electro-spark deposition process has the characteristic of better coating quality and the coating has higher wear resistance and hardness.展开更多

The coating has a compact and uniform microstructure with low porosity and no visible microcracks. When Co content increases grad- ually, oxygen content of coating samples 1-5 decreases first and then increases in the range of 2.52 wt%-3.05 wt%; sample 3 has the lowest oxygen content of 2.52 %. Mi- crohardness of the coating is improved remarkably com- pared with the substrate （HV 230.18）. With Co content increasing, microhardness of the coating samples 1-5 first rises slightly and then declines rapidly in the range of HV 580.61-1052.33. Sample 3 gets the maximum of HV 1052.33, which is about 4.6 times that of the substrate. The coating presents excellent wear resistance, which first increases and then decreases when Co content increases. Sample 3 shows the best wear resistance of about 6.4 times that of the substrate. Main wear mechanism of the coating is abrasive wear and fatigue wear, along with oxidation wear under high speed or heavy load conditions.展开更多

A feasibility study of electro-spark deposition (ESD) for unweldable superalloy component repair with a high strength filler material was carried out. SEM analysis reveals that a fully dense, crack-free, metallurgical bonded deposition layer can be obtained on the K24 substrate. The as-deposited microstructure characterizes fine cellular structure and the post weld heat treatment precipitates fine γ′particles. The room temperature tensile testing and 975℃, 196MPa stress rupture life testing indicate that ESD makes positively contribution to mechanical performance of repaired specimens. Based on these results, ESD has the potential as an effective alternative to repair of damage and defects in superalloy components, but more efforts should be made before it can be applied in engineering repair.展开更多

Inconel 738 substrates are coated with a deposited layer of NI6625 (Inconel 625). Selections of these two alloys have been done because they had wide applications and importance in the industry especially in gas turban blades in inland stations and in aircraft engines. ESD is suggested because it has a low input heat process which eliminates the effect of HAZ in these Ni-superfluous due to their sustainability to micro-cracks. The coating contains many deposited sub-layers coming from evaporated and melted micro-regions as a result of locally high heat generated by discharging a series of capacitors charged and discharged in a controlled manner between electrode and substrate material. The maximum deposition rates at the beginning of the process and decreases until been in a steady state condition due to the nature of the resultant morphology of the created surface.展开更多
